Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Poly Sync 60

  • Excellent audio quality with deep bass from the built-in dual passive radiators and subwoofer.
  • The 6-microphone steering array effectively reduces background noise and echo.
  • Adaptive gain control successfully normalises voice volume even when standing 10 to 15 feet away.
  • Daisy-chain capabilities allow two units to pair wirelessly to support larger conference setups.
  • Highly visible 360-degree LED status tracking bars make it impossible to miss if the system is muted.
  • Convenient dual USB ports allow participants to charge their smartphones during meetings.
  • Seamless plug-and-play integration with major platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

What customers don't like about Poly Sync 60

  • The physical footprint is significantly larger and heavier than previous iterations like the Sync 20 or 40.
  • The baseline price point is relatively expensive for small businesses or individual home office setups.
  • The integrated USB connection cable is somewhat short for larger conference room tables.
  • Does not come packaged with a protective travel bag or carrying pouch despite its premium price.

Verdict

The Poly Sync 60 is a premium, high-performance smart conference speakerphone designed for small-to-medium meeting rooms measuring up to 20x20 feet. It features a six-microphone steerable array with a 10-foot (3-meter) voice pickup range, bidirectional microphone bandwidth of 100 Hz to 6.7 kHz, dual 50mm stereo speakers boasting 60W maximum output power, a speaker bandwidth of 75 Hz to 20 kHz, and dual passive radiators with a bass reflex system. The device connects seamlessly via Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and a combined integrated 59-inch USB-A/USB-C cable, while offering full-duplex audio, adaptive gain control, and two highly visible 360-degree LED status light bars. Main pros include its exceptional full-duplex audio clarity with echo/noise reduction, dual integrated USB-A ports to charge two smartphones simultaneously, a USB pass-through port to connect a dedicated video camera, and the capability to wirelessly daisy-chain two units together for expanded meeting spaces. However, significant cons include its total reliance on constant AC power due to the lack of an internal rechargeable battery, a relatively heavy 1 kg (2.2 lbs) build that reduces portability compared to smaller models, and the requirement of an optional accessory to link two units together over computer connections.
