I listened to music on the EPOS Expand SP 30T for hours and even watched a few movies by connecting it to a laptop and I enjoyed the experience. Do note that, the bass on the EPOS Expand SP 30T isn't that great, which could be a bummer for some users.

Should You Get EPOS Expand SP 30T?

If you are someone looking for a Bluetooth speaker, then the EPOS Expand SP 30T might not be the right product. Don't get me wrong. This is a good product, it is just that the product is mainly designed for the enterprise market.

Features like built-in Microsoft Teams trigger button, physical mute button, and multiple connectivity options are definitely useful for the enterprise market. Not just that, it also comes with a two-year standard warranty which is double that of most electronic devices.

For a general audience, the product could be a bit experience, as one can easily get better-sounding speakers for less than half the price of the EPOS Expand SP 30T. However, if you are a professional, who is always on the move and wants a speaker to carry around with a great speaker and microphone, then get the EPOS Expand SP 30T.
