BenQ treVolo U Desktop Dialogue Speaker 5

REVIEW – Since I have been back in the office post-Covid, I have been sitting at my desk with a headset attending virtual meetings one after the other all day long. I am fine with no-in-person meetings, but some of the meetings are long and I would like to be able to get up from my desk and move around my office during the meetings. This is obviously hard to do with a headset on my head but this BenQ treVolo U Desktop Dialogue Speaker should make it easy.

What is it?
