The best ones we tested
I ordered this Plantronics headset about 2 years ago for our business. Now that we hired another person, it was a no brainer to get a 2nd set. I had tried out 8 different brands and designs back then, and these had the best sound quality, comfort, noise reduction out of all of them by a long shot. Great quality product. I would, and did, buy again.

Excellent headset – get the charging stand
Outstanding headset. Works great with all soft phone applications – Skype, Go to Meeting, WebEx. Perfect for switching between phone & computer calls + music listening for hours at a time. Microphone is clear, wireless range and battery life are good. Definitely get the charging stand if you are jumping on and off phone calls – way faster than plugging in the mini USB cord each time. The noise cancelling is ok for low background hum but won’t cover voices – when activated, it drains the battery more quickly and feels like additional pressure on your ears (I don’t use this feature often).

The best I have tried
I have bought a couple of cheaper headsets before, but the sound quality was not very good and I had trouble understanding the caller. One was a Plantronics in-ear clip-on, but it didn’t work well for me. For one thing, I need to have both ears covered.This unit is excellent in all ways. Comfortable, clear sound, long battery life. The noise cancellation works very well too. There are several controls that you have to learn to adjust by feel, but it’s not too complicated and you’ll figure it out.

Exceeded My Expectations
During COVID-19, I am working in a home office with my wife; we sit about 4 feet from each other. We are both consistently on separate conference calls, and we are both somewhat loud on the phone. As such, I bought this headset to replace the mono-ear headset I was using previously.While I typically prefer over-the-ear vs on-the-ear for active noise cancelling (ANC), I was looking for a balance between cancelling out my wife on the phone in my ears, and hearing my wife when she wants to get my attention. This headset has significantly increased my ability to pay attention to my call when my wife is on a separate call at same time. She is not entirely cancelled out, but I can barely hear her. Others on my calls have told me before that they can hear my wife, but nobody has told me it is overpowering my voice, or that it is interfering with our conversation. I can hear everyone on my calls clearly, and they have all told me they can hear me clearly as well.I also like that I am able to use this headset with both my computer and work cell phone, so that I do not have to physically switch equipment when calls come in from multiple sources. I was using MS Skype on my work computer, but I have recently transitioned to MS Teams, and the headset continues to perform well. I am also connected to an iPhone for my work cell, and the headset also performs well for that device.This version of the headset did not come with a charging stand, but did come with a micro-USB cord. I am charging the headset nightly, and the I am able to use the headset for 4 – 5 hours of calls each day without further charge. Plantronics also has developed an app that can be downloaded to a cell phone, to control additional features of this headset. Another feature I like is that music playing from the cell phone is automatically paused when I take the headset off, and played again when I put the headset back on.The headset is comfortable for an on-the-ear headset. Again, using them off and on for 4 – 5 hours each day, my ears are not getting tired. Being able to rotate the ear pads slightly helps with ensuring a comfortable fit. I suspect that if I were to have this headset on for 4 – 5 hours straight, that my ears might become a bit tired, but I do not think it would become unbearable. The band stretching over the head also provides a pad for comfort, instead of being simply plastic or metal; I appreciate this.If I were to provide any constructive feedback, I would like to have seen the Mute function tied to the position of the boom mic, such that the headset automatically goes to mute when the boom is up, and off mute when the boom goes down (no extra button). Instead, this headset has a small button on the boom to turn the Mute function on/off; the headset also has an option to verbally let you know when the Mute function is turned on/off.Overall, I would definitely recommend this headset for use, especially when in close physical proximity to other people that could provide additional noise challenges.

Stopped Working
Back when I used to work for my company I got 3 or 4 of these because through previous comes stopped working. I tool a chance when I was hired back in getting one of these, but it has stopped working twice. The first time was within the return window but since I started working again, I withdrew my request for a return. In has now stopped working again but its outside the return window. I will be buying another more reliable brand! Not pleased at all!

Lightweight, doesn’t hurt my head
I needed headphones/mic for my work from home job that don’t make my head hurt. These do the job perfectly. They are lightweight. Don’t pinch. Padded ear pieces. Mic is effective. Bluetooth connects to my computer (works pretty seamlessly with MS Teams, WebEx, Zoom), and to my cell phone. Reasonable price point. I don’t use the noise cancelation much, as I work in a relatively quiet environment.

A delightful experience!
I bought this headset for meetings and am surprised by the wonderful design of this product. It’s very comfortable to wear this. The buttons are well laid out and easy to touch but will not trigger unexpectedly. The call quality is quite good. People on the other side can hear me loud and clear. The ANC is a plus. It helps me focus more on the conversations (my office is quite a noisy place). The headset and the bluetooth dongle both can upgrade firmware through the Plantronics Hub application. I did it immediately after I charged it. The sound quality is also fit for pleasure like music or watch movies. I’m very pleased with the product.

Great Headset!
This headset works well. Itâs lightweight and very comfortable for long hours of wear, and holds a charge well. I love that it connects to my phone and computer at the same time – great for going between calls and videoconferencing! It also has a good range. I can walk away from the source without losing connectivity.

good design and nice performance

The product is great but the condition of like new is poor. There is obvious usage in the headset as itâs not cleaned.The sound is perfect and battery life is good. The price is good which is 100 cheaper than the new one with stand.

Faccio smart working da anni e il problema di tutti quelli come me è essere legati perennemente al PC da un filo.Ho provato diverse cuffie e queste sono le uniche che hanno soddisfatto ampiamente ogni requisito.Durata batteria almeno 10h ore no stop in call con skype, leggerissime e comode per me che soffro molto di mal di testa, funzione che ti avvisa se hai attivo o meno il mute, tastino mute sul microfono, volume e comandi a portata di mano, sono ormai ben 2 anni che le utilizzo e posso fare una recensione anche con l’utilizzo prolungato.Non mostrano segni di cedimento estetico come potete notare in foto e la batteria dura come il primo giorno.Ottimo il fatto che ti avvisi anche almeno 15 min prima che si scarichino cosi’ da collegare l’USB e continuare ad utilizzarle.Per chi come me va anche oltre le 20 ore di call in alcuni giorni non posso che consigliarle!!!Altro particolare importante sono ottime per ascoltare musica o mentre corri sul tapis rulant!Qualità del suono ECCEZIONALE le ho potute paragonare alle mie cuffie professionali BOSE e non hanno nulla da invidiare!!!!!!

Na een aantal andere types uitgeprobeerd te hebben toch maar wat meer geld uitgegeven aan deze. Voldoet tot nu toe prima. Geluid is goed hoewel het wel wennen is dat je jezelf wat gedempt hoort praten (doordat je een koptelefoon op hebt met 2 kussens). De bluetooth verbinding is goed, hij pakt zelf automatisch het apparaat op waar geluid vandaan komt en maakt automatisch verbinding. Neemt zelfs gesprekken automatisch op als je hem opzet, moet nog uitvogelen of hier nog wat in te stellen is maar gaat eigenlijk vanzelf goed (een verademing na een Logitech apparaat waar je telkens weer eerst moest gaan pairen e.d.).Er zit een etui bij voor vervoer, maar geen oplader. Overweeg nog wel om de (standaard) oplader te kopen, omdat het anders wel steeds gepriegel is om hem op te laden (USB snoertje erin stoppen), en je hem anders ook steeds ergens op tafel moet ‘neerleggen’ tussendoor, waarbij je het microfoontje weer moet inklappen, enz.Update: inmiddels paar maanden in gebruik. Beste aankoop van m’n leven, dit scheelt me zoveel tijd omdat mijn handen vrij zijn. Ideaal voor saaie Zoom-overleggen waarin je wilt multitasken of wanneer je een klant aan de lijn hebt en beide handen nodig hebt voor muis/toetsenbord.Een minpuntje: plastic waar je de hoofdband ‘inschuift’ als je hem in het etui wilt stoppen, is aan 1 kant gebarsten. Ik heb er nu zwart tape omheen gedaan en verder geen problemen mee. Zou nooit meer zonder dit ding kunnen!

Excelente audio y pérfecto para teleconferencias porque aisla bastante bien el sonido ambiente. El único bemol es sólo se conecta por blutooth, asà que pues no se puede utilizar en algunos casos.
