22 www. t e c h n o l o g y r e c o r d . c om MAR K E TWATCH New Jabra research has found that those using professional audio devices experience fewer issues in virtual meetings on unified communications platforms, when compared to users of built-in or consumer audio devices. Most notably, they had less trouble hearing what’s being said than those using consumer devices, where almost 40 per cent reported audio issues. Additionally, professional device users were 10 per cent less likely than consumer device users to report feeling left out of the conversation. “In a hybrid-working world, getting the right devices for professional environments will truly make or break the virtual meeting experience,” said Nigel Dunn, managing director of EMEA North at Jabra.
