Description: The TR-10 is a portable speakerphone that can be used with Skype and iChat on the Macintosh. You may have tried to use the built-in speaker and microphone on your notebook for this; the big problem is highly-variable sound quality and the general lack of effective echo cancellation.

The solution is, of course, a dedicated USB speakerphone like the TR-10. It's small, simple to install, and has a USB connection. It works great with Skype and also has a recording function to record Skype calls and other audio, and the speaker is much better than the built-in speakers in most notebook PCs - sound quality was excellent is both directions. If you need a speakerphone for Skype, this is the one.
