Choosing between the Poly Sync 60 and the Yealink CP50? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Poly Sync 60 if you want the one that costs $55 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Yealink CP50 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to large rooms) and picks up voices farther away (20 ft vs 10 ft).
Both are USB speakerphones; the difference is audio and power.
