Microsoft Modern Wired Headset,On-Ear Stereo Headphones with Noise-Cancelling Microphone, USB-A Connectivity, In-Line Controls, PC/Mac/Laptop - Certified for Microsoft Teams

Okay, I'm trying out the wired headsets for our office, and they're amazing. At this price point, Microsoft will have a hit with offices. Microsoft fit themselves between Plantronics' low-end blackwire 3000 series which is around $40 and their next models (the 5000 series) which is around $80. It destroys the 3000 series on all levels from build quality to audio quality to comfort. I will argue it's more comfortable than the more expensive 5000 series and audio quality is debatable and when it's debatable, you go with the cheaper one.I got really good comments from fellow office workers who tried out their new headsets too. First comments were how soft and comfortable the headsets were. A couple of them were regular users of the Plantronics Focus UC wireless headsets. I always thought the Focus headsets were comfortable but my office workers said these Microsoft ones beat it. They said the audio quality was better on both sides (caller, receiver) with the Microsoft though it's a bit unfair to compare because the Microsoft ones are wired and the others are meant to travel around the office up to 100 ft.We use softphones for the majority of our staff (IP desk phones are maybe 30% while softphones are 70%). I can imagine replacing the Plantronics headsets with these Microsoft ones if they hold up to the abuse (office workers are far more abusive to equipment than consumers because consumers usually pay for their own equipment). Another advantage for Plantronics is because of its ubiquity, you can easily find replacement parts like ear padding covers. Unless these Microsoft ones become a smash hit, you have to hop the padding lasts an extremely long time.We haven't tried the Teams integration yet as our primary phone system is RingCentral. We use Teams for video calls and messaging mainly with the occasional audio calls.These are definitely worthy of a purchase. I can't believe the value you get. For this price range, you don't expect the material to feel so supple and full of quality.I haven't tried the wireless yet. I can't imagine replacing the Focus UC yet because 1) RingCentral softphones only allow Plantronics headsets to answer calls from the headset (all other headsets require that you answer on the computer on or on the wired controller) and 2) the Focus UC has a 100 ft range.

These are great for when I work from home. They got an awesome "mute" button that I abuse everyday and the wire is long enough for me to shift between standing up/sitting down.I have a bird and so far people claim they can't hear him, so I'm guessing the microphone is quite good.Only downside is that these headphones work so well that I have to come up with other excuses to justify my lack of participation on yet another useless meeting.

Overall the sound quality and functionality are great! Only issue is the physical quality is pretty cheap. As seen in other posts, the ear piece has fallen apart.

I use these for meetings on Teams. The sound quality is good. The price is reasonable. They are light weight and comfortable to wear. Keep in mind that they are on ear, not over ear, so if you are in a noisy environment they may not block all sound from coming in.

This head set has all of the features that I need to support meetings and gaming. Does it have a killer bass.... No. But what it does have are features to support net meetings with a great microphone that allows me to be heard easily. This applies to gaming. The head piece is also comfortable to wear for long periods. And above all it is reasonably priced!!

Is comfortable, works wonderful with MSTeams but not the same compatibility with zoom. The mute button is super handy with the light. Is the same amount of noise if like I’m using apple earphones. I had a Bose that really are noise cancelling. Cable is short so If your pc happen to be in the floor or your laptop is connected to a monitor is somewhere else can be a pain!

When they worked, they were great. They were soft on my ears, could pickup just me talking and limited background noise. I liked the simple controls for muting/unmuting and volume. Unfortunately, they stopped working after ~9 months of regular use. About a month ago (so ~8 months of active use) my computer stopped recognizing the device in the middle of any call...it would start fine and then the device wasnt recognized anymore, so my computer would switch back to the default laptop mic. Was it annoying? Yes. I could tolerate it, even though it was disruptive. But after a couple weeks of that, the headphones themselves started malfunctioning. Now when I try to use them not only does it glitch and my laptops (both personal and work) won't recognize it, but there is a really loud pop occurring in the headphone itself, which sounds like feedback but also electrical, if that makes sense. It's random and pretty jarring when it happens, and to be honest, it's not like I cranked up the volume to blow the headphones out...I'm in Zoom calls. I don't feel safe wearing them, because I don't know if I will get zapped at any point from it, and the pop is loud enough to scare the crap out of me when it happens. Pretty disappointed these didn't last longer, but I guess you get what you pay for.TLDR: stopped using after 9 months because of unrecognizable device and loud popping sound.
