Logitech H390 Wired Headset for PC/Laptop, Stereo Headphones with Noise Cancelling Microphone, USB-A, In-Line Controls, Works with Chromebook - Rose

I got these Logitech headphones as the locked-down computers my customers use are usually set up for them as well as my own work laptop. I also use them on my home machine for gaming, listening to music and so on.I prefer wired to wireless - I find them less laggy and less likely to get out of sync with video. No worries about recharging either.Comfortable, easy to set up, and I find the sound quality on meetings calls, MP3s and videos good enough for me. Sensible price too!

I have used this USB headset with Skype and Zoom on Windows 10, and with Skype on Linux Mint. (I haven't tried it with anything else yet).The headset has large padded headphones that press against the ears. They are not large enough to completely surround the ears but they still provide a useful level of sound proofing. I found that they were comfortable for an hour or so but became a bit uncomfortable after two or three hours, squashing my ears against my head.The microphone boom arm is attached to the left earphone and can be moved up and down by a large amount and moved in and out by a small amount, giving all the adjustment you need. Note that it cannot be rotated all the way round, which means you can't use it with the microphone on the right hand side.When using with Windows 10 or Linux Mint there is no need to install a driver (and no driver is supplied). When I first used them, I could not hear my own voice when speaking, which gives the impression that the line is dead. (This was the same on Windows and Linux.) Most telephone systems have something called 'side tone' which means a small amount of your voice is fed back to the ear piece so that you know the line is working.On Windows, you can adjust the side tone level in the device properties in Control Panel. There is a slider that goes from 0 to 100. (I use a value of 50 for the Sennheiser headset I use for work.) The control seems far too sensitive for this headset. Using a value of 1 with this headset give much more side tone than you would normally expect, which increases fatigue with prolonged use. Values of 2 and above are unbelievably loud and totally unusable. So you are left with a choice of no side tone, which is disconcerting, or too much side town, which is uncomfortable.On Linux Mint, I could not find a way of adjusting side tone, so it is always disconcertingly quiet when you speak.

UPDATE - I wrote this review in good faith, but two days later, the headset started dropping the Bluetooth signal.I will give it a day or so, but if there is no solution,n I will be returning this. What a pain :-( does anyone know the contact details for a support team for these?When searching for a purchase on Amazon, it can be challenging to navigate through the reviews to locate a product that satisfies most users.If you're looking for a headset that delivers crystal-clear audio for online calls and seamless music playback, this one from Logi (Logitech Zone 300) is a winner. Whether you're in a long meeting or presenting, its lightweight design makes it comfortable to wear for hours.What truly sets it apart is the smart connectivity—I love how it automatically switches from music on my phone to a call on my laptop and back to music when the call ends. It’s effortless and smooth.The audio quality is superb on both ends of the call. I even recorded a session to hear what others hear—flawless. The battery life is excellent, and the voice prompts inform you how much charge is left, so you can control when to recharge.One of my favourite features is the ability to mute the mic just by lifting it—perfect for those unexpected coughs or sneezes. Music lovers will also appreciate the rich playback quality.If I could ask for anything more, it would be a more accessible power button and a track skip function for music. But honestly, for just over £60, this headset punches well above its weight. I’ve tried cheaper options before, but none have come close.Well done, Logi. A brilliant product.

Great item quality headphones only drawback if you are a long call ear starts hurting but that is not a flaw in design probably the fact i have FA Cup ears

Not terrible, but not great. It looks alright and is very lightweight but the headphones feel quite cheap, like they're made from a low-quality brittle plastic, I certainly wouldn't feel too confident about traveling with them in a backpack or something. The earphones are fairly decent and have a pretty good sound quality for things like VoIP and watching videos. The worst thing is the headset microphone arm, it's a stiff arm with zero flexibility that's attached to a ring around the left ear cup, there's a LOT of movement in the one I got and it's really damn loose as a result, the mic arm very rarely stays where you position it. If I move it next to my mouth it very quickly dips lower until it's closer to my collar bone than it is to my mouth, which doesn't speak of a high level of quality control. Overall it feels more like the sort of thing you'd see marketed as a "gamer headset" in a pound shop for £10. Not very impressed, but it's relatively cheap and the earphones are fairly decent. Probably worth spending a bit more on something with better build quality though.

Is just what I wanted and needed Perfect for my classes at home! The sound is good and minimises the background noise for you best concentration
