Poly Blackwire 3225 Wired Headset (Plantronics) - Noise-Canceling Mic – Stereo Design - Connect to PC/Mac/Mobile via USB-C, USB-A, or 3.5mm - Works w/Teams, Zoom - Amazon Exclusive

Should have gone with Plantronic to start. Burned through 3 cheap Chinese sets here that promised the world and failed to deliver. This headset is great with two reservations. Sound quality is crisp and clear. It is balanced and the tones rich. The ear cups are comfy but the are open, so you will hear the noise around you. They became comfortable for longer term wear when I bent the headband stays to put less pressure on the ears. The noise cancellation is TOP TIER. My teams tells me they cannot here anything of my shop background, and I love that. I added a wind sock to the mic to keep people hearing me breath. Well worth the little bit extra I paid.

I've tried make other brands and models. If you don't want to deal with the unreliability or cost of Bluetooth (especially cheap by headsets) AND want a very lightweight, comfortable headset AND want frankly surprising noise cancellation from the mic* AND didn't want to spend a lot AND want sound good enough to listen to music, then this is the best balance of the aforementioned characteristics that I've found. Poly (formerly Plantronics) is one of the top three brands that specialize in headsets for communication and it shows. Quality feeling materials, ear pads don't degrade. This is the second set I've bought (first broke due to my fault). Like that I can use with USB or 3.5mm Jack. Like that cord doesn't tangle. * Other side can't hear my dog barking etc

Would be great if people could hear me! Fix quality where people calling could hear. Great feeling on hear, a shame callers cannot hear me

Received my unit. It was clean and new. I downloaded the Poly app for my laptop and upon connecting the headset, it advised me of a firmware update. The update process took about three minutes. I've been using it regularly ever since with my Dell work laptop. Seems to work quite well and have had zero issues. The headphone covers are very comfortable. They're perhaps a bit small but it doesn't bother me. The headset fits well even for my large head. I haven't tested the noise cancelling but have had zero negative comments about my voice quality. The volume control unit does kind of get in the way but it's manageable. For the money, I think it's an excellent value. FWIW, I have no trouble using the headphones for listening to music. Music reproduction is excellent.

I had this item supplied to me by a previous employer and had to return it when I left. Needed a new headset for my current role (I answer and make a lot of calls daily) and this was a no-brainer to purchase. The sound quality is great, the fit is comfortable and the earpieces are soft. The switch for volume, mute/unmute, and answer/hang up is very convenient, it works with both my virtual phone system and Microsoft Teams well. My only complaint is that it could be a little bit louder (perhaps there's a setting somewhere I haven't found on my laptop to do so), but otherwise this is a great product for the price point. Would recommend.

I have the 3225 USB-A model. The product description is wrong, it says mono, this is definitely a stereo headset. Sound quality is excellent in midranges. Bass is practically nonexistent, but this wasn't sold as a headset for listening to music. Other people in Zoom meetings told me that I sounded very good, so I guess the mike works. Totally plug and play. I plugged it into the USB port and it worked. A very important feature because my work computer is locked down and I'm not allowed to install any software on it. Works with Zoom. The mute button doesn't just mute the mike, it also tells Zoom that you're muted or unmuted, so that you get the red microphone for others to see when you're on mute. Also a green light goes on when you're connected in Zoom. Very pleasantly surprised that it worked so seemlessly. In Windows, you can set the headset as a deafult commuinications device, but have another output device for default sound, so this means you can listen to music or whatever over external speakers, but as soon as you join a Zoom meeting, the headset activates. Totally great. Comfort is acceptable. I HATE the feeling of things pressed against my ears. These are bearable. A lot more comfortable than a gaming headset I have that was supposed to be a comfortable gaming headset. (But the gaming headest has much better bass sound.)

Very good product. Easy to use and you can hear clearly. Comfortable on the ears.

Work great for my job
