Jabra introduces Perform Plus and Perform 55 for retail communications. Jabra announced Jabra Perform Plus and Jabra Perform 55, an integrated retail communication and device fleet management solution designed for multi-shift retail environments. Jabra Perform Plus provides IT and operations teams with a centralized platform for deploying, configuring, securing and managing shared headset fleets across multiple retail locations. The platform supports remote firmware updates, configuration management, compliance checks and device performance monitoring, reducing the need for on-site IT support. Perform Plus will initially support the new Jabra Perform 55 headset, with support for additional Jabra Perform devices planned. The Jabra Perform 55 is an over-the-head retail headset designed to give store associates access to colleagues, managers and information through push-to-talk and voice-based workflows. According to Jabra, its microphones block 99% of background noise to support communication in busy retail environments. The headset is compatible with push-to-talk platforms including Zebra Workcloud Sync, Zello and Zoom. It also features an IP54-rated design for protection against dust and spills and provides up to 20 hours of talk time or 50 hours of push-to-talk use. A 10-minute fast charge provides up to 10 hours of talk time or 25 hours of push-to-talk time. Jabra Perform 55 includes a Face2Face mode that automatically mutes calls and audio when the headset's boom arm is raised, allowing associates to speak directly with customers. One-touch pairing with Android devices is designed to simplify setup when headsets are shared between shifts. The headset is TCO Certified, Generation 10, and includes a replaceable battery and ear cushions, support for firmware updates and recyclable packaging. Jabra says Perform 55 and Perform Plus are also designed to support future voice-enabled AI workflows as retailers expand their use of AI-based tools. The company is also introducing the Jabra Perform 5-Bay Universal Charging Base for shared-device environments. The base can charge and organize five compatible Jabra Perform headsets and uses a click-in, click-out design intended to simplify headset handoffs between shifts. "Retailers are under pressure to keep store associates connected while making growing technology deployments easier for IT to manage across locations," said Andrew Doyle, vice president for Frontline Solutions at Jabra. "With Jabra Perform Plus and Jabra Perform 55, we are bringing together the retail communication endpoint and platform behind it for scalable, voice-led store communication." Jabra Perform 55 joins the Perform 10 and Perform 45 SE in the company's retail communication portfolio. Jabra Perform Plus provides a single platform for deploying, configuring, securing, updating and monitoring Jabra Perform headsets across locations. Features include firmware updates and rollback, compliance checks, real-time reporting and analytics, role-based access and audit trails. The platform also includes the Jabra Perform Plus Mobile App and supports integration with existing IT systems through single sign-on and APIs. The Jabra Perform 55 is available now for $229.99 MSRP, while the Jabra Perform 5-Bay Universal Charging Base is available for $249.99 MSRP. Jabra Perform Plus is scheduled to become available as an early access version in the fourth quarter of 2026, with additional functionality planned following its initial release.
Jabra introduces Perform Plus and Perform 55 for retail communication and device fleet management. GN news. Oct 01, 2026. New cloud-based platform and headset keep store associates connected while giving IT greater control across retail locations Jabra, a global leader in professional audio and video solutions, today announced Jabra Perform Plus and Jabra Perform 55, an integrated retail communication and device fleet management solution for multi-shift retail environments. Together, they give retail IT and operations teams centralized control of shared headsets across stores and locations and help store associates stay connected. As retailers deploy more connected technology across their stores, managing growing numbers of shared devices across locations becomes increasingly complex. Store associates need fast access to colleagues and information while serving customers, while IT and operations teams need a scalable way to deploy, configure and secure that technology. Research shows that 88% of store associates report challenges getting timely assistance or information, while 90% say the right technology helps them complete tasks faster.[1] At the same time, industry research shows that 81% of frontline workers experience device or app issues that stop them from working at least monthly, with nearly 60% experiencing work-stopping mobile issues weekly or more often.[2] Jabra Perform Plus and Jabra Perform 55 bring these needs together, combining centralized device fleet management with hands-free communication to help retailers scale more consistently across locations. Centralized control across retail locations Jabra Perform Plus gives IT and operations teams a centralized platform to deploy, configure, secure and manage headset fleets from one platform remotely. From managing firmware updates and maintaining approved settings to conducting compliance checks and monitoring performance remotely, the platform helps retailers maintain consistent device experiences while helping to reduce the need for on-site IT support. Launching as an Early Access Version in Q4 2026, Jabra Perform Plus supports Jabra Perform 55 at launch, with support for additional Jabra Perform devices planned to follow. Real-time communication on the retail floor Developed based on direct feedback from retail teams, the Jabra Perform 55 retail headset gives store associates instant access to colleagues, managers and information through push-to-talk and voice-led workflows, helping them resolve questions without having to step away from the customer. High-performance microphones block 99% of background noise so associates can communicate clearly, even in busy retail environments, while its lightweight, discreet design is suited to customer-facing roles.[3] Compatible with leading push-to-talk platforms including Zebra Workcloud Sync, Zello and Zoom, Jabra Perform 55 integrates seamlessly into existing retail workflows. As retailers increase their investment in AI, voice is emerging as a key interface for frontline workers. According to early findings from upcoming Jabra research, 96% of retailers expect AI investment to increase, 71% expect voice AI to be deployed at scale within two years4. Together, Jabra Perform 55 and Jabra Perform Plus provide a foundation for introducing future voice-enabled AI workflows across retail operations. To support busy shared-shift environments, Jabra is also introducing the Jabra Perform 5-Bay Universal Charging Base, helping retailers keep shared headsets organized, charged and ready between shifts. Andrew Doyle, VP for Frontline Solutions at Jabra says, "Retailers are under pressure to keep store associates connected while making growing technology deployments easier for IT to manage across locations. With Jabra Perform Plus and Jabra Perform 55, we are bringing together the retail communication endpoint and platform behind it for scalable, voice-led store communication. Our goal is to help associates stay connected in the moment, give IT and operations teams greater control and prepare retailers for future AI-assisted workflows."

Comparing the Jabra Speak2 speakerphone series. September 21, 2026 If you've ever survived a meeting where half the conversation sounded like it was coming from a potato, someone kept leaning into their laptop like they were whispering state secrets, or the Bluetooth connection took longer to figure out than your tax return, you'll know just how quickly bad audio can kill good vibes - and productivity. Enter Jabra's Speak2 range - your new work BFFs. These clever little speakerphones are here to make your calls smooth, your voice clear, and your setup simple, whether you're working from home, desk-hopping in a hybrid office, or running meetings in rooms of all shapes and sizes. Let's unpack the range: Speak2 40, Speak2 55, and the big boss, Speak2 75. They all do the same core job - delivering crystal-clear, natural-sounding conversations - but each one is tailored for different needs. Here's the lowdown. Post Contents [hide] What's the Jabra Speak2 series all about? Before Simply Headsets get stuck into the nitty gritty, let's take a sec to chat about what a speakerphone actually is - and why the Speak2 series might be your new workday lifesaver. A speakerphone is essentially a hands-free audio device that lets you hear and be heard clearly on calls or video meetings without wearing a headset. Think of it like a high-end, business-grade Bluetooth speaker with built-in microphones, made especially for virtual meetings and collaboration. It sits on your desk (or in your bag if you're on the move) and ensures that everyone in the room - or everyone on the line - sounds as clear as a bell. The Jabra Speak2 series is Jabra's latest generation of professional speakerphones, designed for the way Simply Headsets work today - which is often a mix of home, office, café, train, or anywhere else with Wi-Fi and caffeine. They're built to deliver natural-sounding conversations, even if you're chatting over each other (Simply Headsets all do it). They handle background noise like a pro, plug in easily, and even let you walk around while you talk - if you pick a wireless one. What makes the Speak2 range different from older speakerphones? In a word: clarity. They're full duplex, so everyone can speak and be heard at the same time. They've got clever microphones that know how to find your voice and ignore the dog barking in the background. They normalise volume levels, so you don't sound like you're shouting one minute and whispering the next. And they're certified for all the usual suspects - Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and more. There are three models in the Speak2 lineup - the 40, 55, and 75 - each catering to a different type of user. Whether you're a desk-bound superstar, a hybrid work ninja, or someone who just wants the best kit in the building, there's a Speak2 for you. Speak2 40 - The no-fuss hero. (1 Review) From $187 inc GST * Dual USB-C/A connectivity * Full duplex audio for natural conversations * Four noise-cancelling microphones * IP64-rated dust and water resistance If you're the type who likes your tech simple, solid, and stress-free, the Speak2 40 is your jam. It's wired-only, so there's no worrying about pairing or battery life - just plug in and off you go. USB-C is built in, and they've popped a USB-A adapter on too, because not all of Simply Headsets are on the latest laptops (no judgement). It's made for fixed setups like desks or small huddle rooms - up to 6 people - and comes with full duplex audio (meaning you can talk over each other without chaos), four beamforming microphones (to zero in on voices), and clever Voice Level Normalisation, so everyone sounds consistent, even your quietly-spoken Janet from accounts. No battery. No Bluetooth. No dramas. Just reliable, good-sounding meetings. Speak2 55 - The flexible favourite. (3 Reviews) From $213 inc GST * Bluetooth and dual USB-C/A connectivity * 12 hours of wireless battery * Full duplex audio for natural conversations * Four noise-cancelling microphones * IP64-rated dust and water resistance Now, if the Speak2 40 is your classic Toyota Corolla, the Speak2 55 is the zippy hybrid model. It's still plug-and-play via USB, but now you've got Bluetooth too - handy if you're bouncing between your laptop and your mobile throughout the day. It's designed for hybrid workers, mobile professionals, and anyone who's sick of sounding like they're on speakerphone at the bottom of a cereal box. It handles calls beautifully (also up to 6 participants), lasts around 12 hours per charge, and looks very sleek in your work bag or on your desk. Speak2 75 - The premium performer. (1 Review) From $437 inc GST * Bluetooth and dual USB-C/A connectivity * 32 hours of wireless battery * Full duplex audio for natural conversations * Four noise-cancelling microphones * Super-wideband audio * IP64-rated dust and water resistance Meet the Beyonce of the bunch. The Speak2 75 is for the user who wants it all - supreme audio, wireless flexibility, and next-level tech wrapped in a premium design. And yes, it includes a Bluetooth dongle (USB-A or USB-C depending on the version), so you get rock-solid wireless performance with your PC too. With a bigger 65mm speaker and support for super wideband audio, it's like the difference between standard TV and full-on HD Netflix. You'll hear richer tones, clearer voices, and more natural sound. There's also a 360° Microphone Quality Indicator that literally shows you if you're being heard clearly - brilliant for those "can you hear me now?" moments. It's perfect for personal setups or small meeting rooms, and thanks to a recent firmware update, you can even daisy-chain two units together to cover larger spaces. Oh, and did Simply Headsets mention the 32-hour battery life? That's longer than most reality TV relationships. What they all have in common. Let's talk family traits - because the Speak2 series shares a fair few: * Full Duplex Audio: Talk at the same time without turning into a hot mess of dropped voices. * 4 Beamforming Mics: They focus on the speaker and help filter out pesky background noise. * USB-C & USB-A Connectivity: No adaptor-hunting nightmares. * Portable with Pouch: All come with a snazzy little case - ideal for tossing in your laptop bag. * Works with all the Usual Suspects: Certified for Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and other popular platforms. The key differences (aka why you'd pick one over the other). | / | Jabra Speak2 40 | Jabra Speak2 55 | Jabra Speak2 75 | | Works With | PC Only (via integrated USB-C/A cable) | PC (via integrated USB-C/A cable) and mobile (via Bluetooth) | PC (via integrated USB-C/A cable OR USB A or C dongle) and mobile (via Bluetooth) | | Max Participants | Up to 6 | Up to 6 | Up to 6 (or 12 if daisychained) | | No of Microphones | 4 | 4 | 4 | | Full Duplex Audio | | | | | | | | Noise Reduction | Echo, noise | Echo, noise, reverb | Echo, noise, reverb | | Pick Up Range | 2.3m | 2.3m | 2.5m | | Super-Wideband | | (wideband) | | (wideband) | | | | Voice Level Normalisation | | (outgoing) | | (outgoing) | | (incoming and outgoing) | | Speaker Size | 50mm | 50mm | 65mm | | Microphone Quality Indicator | | | | | | * | | Battery Life | N/A | Up to 12 hours | Up to 32 hours | | Weight | 245g | 280g | 466g | | Travel Pouch | | | | | | | | Bluetooth | N/A | 5.1 | 5.2 | | USB Connectivity | USB-C/A | USB-C/A | USB-C/A + USB Dongle** | | IP Rating | IP64 | IP64 | IP64 | | Allows for daisychaining two devices | | | | | | | | Room Systems | | | | | | (Microsoft Teams Rooms***, Zoom Rooms) | Which one's right for you? Best for Fixed Setups: Speak2 40 If you never stray far from your desk and don't need wireless, this is the best bang-for-buck wired speakerphone out there. Simple, consistent, and built like a tank (a stylish one). Best for Hybrid Life: Speak2 55 Work across laptop and mobile? Want portable performance with solid battery life and crystal-clear calls? This is your middle ground - no frills, but no compromises either. Best for Premium Performance: Speak2 75 If you're leading meetings, working in client-facing roles, or just like your gear top-notch, the Speak2 75 is absolutely worth the upgrade. It's clear, clever, and ready for boardroom or home office alike. Final thoughts. The Jabra Speak2 range is a bit like a good playlist - something for every mood and moment. Whether you're after the plug-in-and-go reliability of the 40, the mobile-savvy versatility of the 55, or the all-singing, all-dancing performance of the 75, each one will upgrade your meetings from "meh" to "marvellous". Still unsure? Give Simply Headsets a call and Simply Headsets'll match you to the right one faster than you can say "You're on mute!"
