Sennheiser’s Strategic Shift: Unlocking the Potential of Business Communications – An Exclusive Interview with Naveen Sridhara

August 27, 2023

Highlights

Sennheiser Business Communications is a separate entity focused on meeting the unique needs of the fast-growing business communications sector.
The TeamConnect family of products offers scalable, high-quality audio solutions for various business environments.
Dynamic beamforming technology in the TeamConnect Ceiling allows for superior audio pickup in challenging acoustical settings.
Sennheiser places a strong emphasis on security, meeting and exceeding the requirements for certifications from key software providers like Microsoft and Zoom.

In a revealing discussion with Naveen Sridhara, the Sales Director for Business Communication at Sennheiser, we delved into the company’s strategic realignment towards the fast-growing business communications sector.

With a strong background in consumer and professional audio, Sennheiser aims to be a frontrunner in delivering top-tier communication solutions to various industry verticals. Here’s what Mr. Sridhara had to say about the path Sennheiser is carving out in this promising market.

Why did Sennheiser choose to focus on the Business Communication Market?

To address why we chose to focus on business communications, it’s essential to understand Sennheiser’s existing strengths in consumer and professional audio sectors. In those spaces, we’ve already built a strong reputation and have a wide array of products that people know and trust.

However, Sennheiser Business Communications is a separate entity with a different mission and target market. The reason we established this new arm of the company lies in the trends we’ve observed in the business world.

Specifically, the market for business communications is one of the fastest-growing sectors today, and there are several factors contributing to this growth. These include the expansion of Fortune 500 companies, increased investments in new technologies, and the booming IT sector.

Building on that, it’s not just about growth in the traditional sense. The nature of business interactions has evolved substantially, particularly with the rise of remote work and increasingly global operations.

Companies are no longer content with just any communication solutions; they demand solutions that are both flexible and robust, capable of serving a range of needs from small-scale meetings to large corporate conferences.

This is the gap that Sennheiser Business Communications aims to fill. We want to provide state-of-the-art, reliable communication technologies that cater to a broad spectrum of businesses. Whether it’s a small startup or a large enterprise, we aim to offer customised solutions that fit their unique needs

Is this part of the Unified Communications Strategy? What does the TeamConnect family bring to the table?

When we first launched the TeamConnect series, our initial product was a ceiling tile designed to cater to specific applications, primarily rooms up to 88 square feet in size.

It met a clear need in the market, but we recognised that there were other room dimensions that were also in need of advanced communication solutions.

That’s how TeamConnect Ceiling Medium was conceptualised with a service area of up to 400 sq ft. We wanted to offer flexibility for smaller spaces, without sacrificing audio quality.

As we continued to understand the varied needs of the business community, we found that organisations don’t just require audio solutions; they also want integrated audio-visual capabilities for their network.

This is where the TeamConnect Bar comes into play. The significant advantage of the TeamConnect Bar is that it doesn’t require an external Digital Signal Processor (DSP). You can simply connect your devices using a cable, which makes the setup less complicated and more straightforward.

But we didn’t stop there. Recognising that even larger spaces had specific needs, we developed add-ons like the boundary microphone.

This allows for increased flexibility. For instance, if someone is speaking from a distance greater than 25 feet away from the TeamConnect Bar, the boundary microphone can still capture high-quality audio.

Tell us some features that differentiate the TeamConnect Ceiling and TeamConnect Bar from the competition?

One of the standout features of the TeamConnect Ceiling is its dynamic beamforming technology. This is especially useful in acoustically challenging environments, such as classrooms or large conference rooms, which can be up to 800 sq ft in size.

Unlike traditional systems that project a static beam of audio pick-up across the room, the TeamConnect Ceiling offers beam steering. This innovative feature allows the system to selectively focus on specific sound sources while ignoring unwanted noise or interference.

For instance, in a classroom setting, the teacher’s voice is typically the most crucial audio source. The beamforming technology will automatically adjust to follow the teacher as they move around the room, ensuring clear and uninterrupted audio.

When it comes to the TeamConnect Bar, the first feature worth mentioning is its Dante integration, which is all about scalability and expansion.

Dante is a multi-channel digital media networking technology that allows for straightforward installation and low-latency transmission. This makes the TeamConnect Bar a highly adaptable choice for organizations that may need to expand their AV setup in the future.

What are some of the privacy concerns and how have you addressed them?

When it comes to encryption and certifications, Sennheiser is not just compliant; we’re ahead of the curve. We understand that data security is of the utmost importance in today’s business environment, and we have taken proactive steps to ensure our products meet the highest standards.

This extends not only to general regulations but also to specific certifications from key software providers like Microsoft and Zoom.

These companies have stringent requirements for how hardware integrates into their platforms, focusing particularly on security standards.

We’ve successfully met these requirements and have received certifications for our products, which means that our hardware seamlessly integrates while maintaining maximum security protocols within these environments.

Whether you’re using Microsoft Teams or Zoom for your communications, you can be assured that all necessary security measures, protocols, and services are already integrated into our system.

What are the industry segments or verticals that Sennheiser considers to be the most promising as of now?

When evaluating our market focus, we have identified three key sectors that align well with our capabilities and offerings: Government, Corporate or Business, and Education. Each of these sectors has unique communication needs that Sennheiser is well-equipped to meet.

Starting with the education sector, we recognize that it typically undergoes a seasonal revamp, generally around the end of the academic year. This presents an opportunity for us to provide cutting-edge audio-visual solutions that enhance the educational experience for both teachers and students.

However, our number one focus at the moment is the government sector. Governments require the kind of secure, reliable communications that Sennheiser specializes in. While the government sector might not be our largest market globally, it is significantly important for us in specific regions.

For example, in India, this sector is a major focus due to the unique security and communication needs that government organizations have. We’ve been investing resources and efforts to meet these demands, aligning our products to be compliant with the stringent security measures required.

What is the future of Sennheiser Business Commuincations?

As of now, our primary strategic focus lies in expanding and refining our TeamConnect family of products. Currently, the family includes three main offerings, each designed to fulfill specific communication needs across various business environments.

Our commitment to these products is not just to maintain them but to evolve them continually. This involves not only improvements in the existing product lineup but also the introduction of new, complementary products that will be integrated seamlessly into the existing family.

Our strategy is two-fold: First, we aim to improve our current offerings based on customer feedback and market trends, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of technological innovation.

Secondly, we’re already in the planning stages for future products that will extend the product offering for Business Communication, again driven by market requirements and technological advancements.

Realme 11 5G Review: Elegant Design, Powerful camera

Team My Mobile

August 26, 2023

The Realme 11 5G has made its way into the crowded smartphone market, promising performance and aesthetics at a competitive price.

With features like a 108MP camera, Dimensity 6100+ 5G SoC, and a design that catches the eye, it promises to be an intriguing option for many users.

The device is priced starting at Rs 18,999, placing it frimly in a highly competitive segment. Here’s a detailed review of the Realme 11 5G‘s to see where it stands viz a Vis-à-Vis its rivals.

Realme 11 5G: Verdict

The Realme 11 5G packs a punch with its design, display, camera setup, performance, features, software, and battery life.

While there are areas where it could improve, it still provides a balanced offering.

Realme 11 5G: Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Attractive Design	Limited Secondary Camera Capabilities
Long Battery Life	Bloatware
Good Primary camera

Realme 11 5G: Key Specs and Pricing

Processor: Dimensity 6100+ 5G SoC
Display: 6.72-inch IPS LCD FHD+ (1,080 x 2,040), 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz response rate
Camera: 108MP+ 2MP portrait lens
Selfie: 16MP
Battery: 5,000mAh with 67W fast charging
Memory and Storage: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB
OS: Realme UI 4.0 based Android 13
Connectivity: 5G capable
Weight: 190g
Other Features: 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, side-mounted fingerprint reader
Build: Plastic unibody design
Pricing: Starting from Rs 18,999

Realme 11 5G: Design

The design of the Realme 11 5G is a significant selling point. With a Glory Gold colour combination and a sparkling texture, the phone exudes a premium feel.

The Glory Halo camera setup complements the chrome edges around the camera housing, giving it, in our opinion, a unique appearance.

The phone’s plastic unibody design is sturdy, with flat edges ensuring balanced weight distribution. At 190g, the phone is relatively light, and the dimensions are well-proportioned.

The 3.5mm headphone jack is a delightful addition in a time when many manufacturers are phasing it out.

The polished buttons and plastic rails blend well with the back panel colour, and the inclusion of a USB Type-C port adds to the standard features.

Overall, we think that the Realme 11 5G is a well-rounded, aesthetically pleasing device, with very little to find fault with.

Realme 11 5G: Display

Sporting a 6.72-inch IPS LCD panel with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate the display is a joy to use.

The panel’s brightness is decent, and although colours might seem slightly saturated, the overall viewing angle satisfies most users. There’s no HDR, but WideVine L1 certification enables HD streaming on OTT content.

A minor drawback might be the punch-hole’s backlight bleeding and 550nits brightness, which is above average but not exceptional.

The smooth operation of the 120Hz refresh rate ensures no jittering or glitching, enhancing the visual experience. All-in-all a display that can be considered good for media consumption

Realme 11 5G: Camera

The Realme 11 5G’s camera system is a blend of strengths and weaknesses, with the 108MP primary sensor standing out as the highlight, while the lack of some secondary camera features can be seen as shortcomings.

Primary Camera: 108MP

Daylight Performance: The 108MP shooter is capable of capturing high-quality, contrasty shots in ample daylight. The detailing is impressive, although the color saturation can be a bit high, giving the images a vibrant but sometimes unrealistic look
AI-based Scene Recognition: This feature works to enhance the colours based on the scene being captured. While some may find this adds flair to the images, we found it unnatural. Of course, it’s a matter of personal preference.
Shutter and Focus Speed: The shutter speed could be faster, but the focusing speeds are commendable, ensuring that subjects are captured with clarity.
Dynamic Range: The dynamic range on offer is laudable, preserving details in both shadows and highlights.

Lack of Ultra-Wide and Macro

Ultra-Wide: The absence of an ultra-wide camera restricts the field of view, which might disappoint those looking to capture expansive landscapes or group photos.
Macro Capabilities: The lack of a dedicated macro lens means that extremely close-up shots may not be as detailed or accessible as with other devices.
2MP Portrait Lens: This feature seems superfluous, considering that the phone manages software-based portraits well. It does not add significant value to the overall camera experience.
3X Zoom: Although there’s no telephoto lens, the primary camera can achieve 3X Zoom by cropping into the main sensor. It’s a decent feature but not a substitute for optical zoom.

Night Mode Photography

General Performance: For a budget phone, the night mode photography is better than expected. Detailing is reasonable, and manual exposure control allows for flexibility.
Dedicated Night Mode: The dedicated night mode adds a bit more detail but requires ambient lighting to work effectively. Noise is controlled without aggressive overprocessing, preserving texture.

Selfie Camera: 16MP

The 16MP selfie camera is pretty standard for this price range.
While it manages to capture decent selfies, some facial oversharpening is present, which might not be appealing to all users.

Realme 11 5G: Performance and features

The Realme 11 5G is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ 5G SoC, a chipset that has been optimised to handle medium-level tasks effectively.

It brings together a balance of performance and energy efficiency, making it suitable for everyday use and some gaming. There’s also 8GB of RAM on offer and up to 256GB of internal storage for you memory needs

The device scores 1,931 on the multi-core test and 736 on the single-core test on Geekbench 6. These numbers indicate that the phone performs well for general usage but might not be suitable for highly demanding applications.

With a stability of 99.8 percent, the phone shows that it can handle moderate graphical tasks without significant drops in performance.

PCMark Work 3.0 Bench shows a score of 10,184 with the phone demonstrating good capabilities in handling typical work applications like web browsing, document editing, and more.

However, for gamers, particularly those who prefer high-end games like BGMI at high graphics settings, the Realme 11 5G might not be the optimal choice.

Although the phone can handle these types of games at medium settings without issues, pushing it to its limits may result in some loss of smoothness and detail.

The 5G capabilities of the phone are notable, as it supports popular SA and NSA bands, ensuring that users can take advantage of the latest network technologies.

Call quality, especially with carriers like Jio in regions like Noida, is commendable. There have been no significant issues with call drops, and the signal reception remains consistent.

The speakers deliver clear sound for casual listening, and the presence of the headphone jack adds convenience for those who prefer wired headphones or earbuds.

The side-mounted fingerprint reader is responsive, allowing for quick and secure authentication.

Its placement is ergonomic, making it easy to access, and it’s highly accurate, minimising the chances of failed attempts.

Realme 11 5G: Software

The Realme 11 5G runs on Realme UI 4.0 based Android 13, providing a decent user experience that caters to everyday needs.

While the presence of bloatware might be a drawback for some, the customisation options within the user interface allow for a personalized touch.

Users can adjust themes, icons, and other visual elements to match their preferences, enhancing the overall interaction with the device.

A guaranteed software upgrade to Android 14 and two years of security updates add to the phone’s appeal, ensuring that it stays up-to-date with the latest features and security measures.

Realme 11 5G: Battery

With a generous 5,000mAh battery, the Realme 11 5G demonstrates resilience in daily usage.

The device easily lasts a full day on moderate to heavy usage, providing peace of mind for those long hours away from a charger.

For lighter use cases, users might even stretch the battery life to nearly two days, highlighting the phone’s efficiency in power management.

But it’s not just the battery’s capacity that impresses; the 67W fast charging solution is a standout feature.

This technology enables the phone to go from a completely drained battery to 50 percent charge in less than 20 minutes.

Such rapid charging is incredibly convenient for users who are often on the move or those unexpected moments when you need a quick top-up before heading out.

Realme 11 5G: Final verdict

Users looking for a stylish, budget-friendly 5G phone with solid performance and an appealing design, the Realme 11 5G is a compelling choice.

Its sleek appearance, coupled with an impressive 108MP camera, offers a premium feel at an affordable price point. The battery life stands out, lasting a full day even with moderate to heavy use, and the 67W fast charging adds to the convenience.

Although the phone does have some limitations, such as the absence of an ultra-wide camera and presence of software bloat, its overall performance, aesthetics, and value proposition outweigh these concerns.

Sound Quality

There are two perspectives from which to assess the sound quality of the Boult W40 earbuds. Initially launched at an attractive introductory price of Rs 899, the W40’s performance appears to align adequately with this pricing.

However, at the time of this review, the Boult W40 is retailing at Rs 1,399 on popular online platforms, thereby positioning them in a comparatively higher price bracket considering the sound quality they deliver.

Overall, here’s what we feel about the sound quality

Boult W40 comes with 13mm drivers promising optimum audio.
Thanks to BoomX Technology, W40 gives significant emphasis on deep bass, delivering a powerful and impactful low-end experience.
The loudness is decent and you can expect audio immersion, particularly suitable for genres like electronic, hip-hop, and rock.
With frequency response ranging from 20 Hz (minimum) to 20 kHz (maximum), the earbuds do cover a wide spectrum of audio frequencies on paper.
However, the sound clarity is an issue. It cracks quite often, which can hamper your overall audio experience.
The environmental noise cancellation performance is decent and it creates a layer of isolation, but it is not too powerful.

Features

Equipped with Bluetooth v5.3, the Boult W40 earbuds mostly provide a robust and seamless wireless connection. We didn’t face disconnects while using the earbuds. It comes with up to 10 meters range when you don’t have obstacles around.

Including a Quad ENC microphone setup in W40 allows clear and immersive communication.
Calls using these earbuds are decent for the segment. Distortions are minimal even when outdoors and the audio quality is also good.

This noise cancellation technology employed to filter out unwanted background noise is good for the segment. It doesn’t completely isolate but you can still expect a decent noise cancellation even outdoors.

With the Boult W40 TWS earbuds, you can expect an elevated gaming experience thanks to the impressive 45ms ultra-low latency.

The audio and visual cues are synchronized well. It has good precision in offering gamers a competitive edge by minimizing delays. We would definitely recommend these to gamers who are looking for TWS earbuds under 1500.

Battery Life

As per Boult’s claims, you can listen to music all day with a battery life of up to 48 hours on W40. However, while using the earbuds, we noticed that the battery drains faster. Within b, these earbuds lost more than 45 per cent of battery.

As for charging, it comes with the USB-C fast charging. With only 10 minutes of charging, W40 TWS earbuds give you 100 minutes of listening time.

Should You Buy Boult W40 TWS Earbuds?

The Boult W40 TWS earbuds impress with their feature and design. The ultra-low latency of 45ms enhances the gaming experience by ensuring minimal lag, translating to more precise and immersive gameplay.

The Bluetooth v5.3 connectivity offers a dependable and stable wireless connection. The Quad ENC microphone array is also a standout feature.
It might seem expensive to some customers.

Overall, if you are looking for TWS earbuds under 1500 for gaming or everyday audio needs, the Boult W40 does present itself as a decent choice.

However, we wouldn’t recommend going for these without having a prior look at segment alternatives.
