Choosing between the Yealink CP50 and the AVer FONE700? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Yealink CP50 if you want the one that costs $1,494 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the AVer FONE700 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms) and also supports Teams, Zoom and Google Meet.
Both are USB speakerphones; the difference is audio and power.
