Plantronics - Blackwire C5220 - Wired, Dual-Ear (Stereo) Headset with Boom Mic - USB-A, 3.5 mm to connect to your PC, Mac, Tablet and/or Cell Phone

I've worked in technology as a consultant for decades which means I'm on the phone every day for hours and hours. I've burned through countless phones, headsets, ear buds, and headphones making calls with clients, listening to music while I work, and playing games after work. My first headset at my current company was a Plantronics headset issued to me in 2005 when I started. I also have a Logitech wireless headset at my desk, several Sennheiser headphones for audio work, a cheap Sades headset for gaming, AirPods for my iPhone, a Bose wireless Bluetooth headset, and a large collection of EarPods for when my AirPods die which is constantly. My vast preference over all of them is this Plantronics Blackwire USB headset. Light weight, comfortable, high-fidelity audio, positional microphone, plug and play, solid compatibility with Windows 10 Pro and my Surface laptop, well-made command buttons for muting and volume, analog jack for use with phones, works great when my Surface is on battery, easy to use all day long, doesn't require charging. Works seamlessly with Zoom, Teams, Spotify, and pretty much any app out that implements headphone support. I am very happy with this headset and I'm sure you will be, too.

This is far away the best headset microphone ever purchased. Worked right out of the box is forbidden and there I was a little test my Dragon naturally speaking. It works terrifically on that. Also sound quality from you to is very good I have yet to check the volume control so momentarily. It is also very comfortable on the head and ears perfect weight. Strange note they always include a set of warranty information written in 759 languages typeface is smaller than what they use to write the Constitution on a grain of rice. So basically no one can read it this nor understand it unless they have a law degree. It also includes a separate card in Chinese. I threw the whole mess away interesting little thing on the wire they have a small card for 4"x 2" with five small images that give you the basic instructions. It is fairly self-explanatory for anyone has used these devices. Just thought that was all very funny.

So much better than the C3220. If you can use this headset and don't mind spending the extra money, definitely splurge because the comfort is like day and night. C3220 is the same headphone speakers and mic I'm assuming, although the C5220 does have an active noise filter that does not come with the C3220. Other than that the quality of sound and mic is the same. The comfort is the major difference. Even after the first day the main enjoyment I get is from the soft padding on the ears and the soft padding and automatic adjusting top headband. Nothing feels cheap, really well made headset that sounds great and feels great as well! To top it off you can remove the headset portion from the usb portion and have a 3.5mm audio jack to connect to a smart phone or ps4/xbox/google stadia controller for audio/mic usage.

I used this headset as it was preferred by the company that I was previously employed with. I had received this exact pair from the company with the other equipment that had arrived, but did later need to replace it due to my cats damaging it. This is the only reason that I had purchased this particular product. I was working from home as a call center representative. The headset itself is very light weight and comfortable. There were many times that I would stand up from my desk and start walking away because I had forgotten I was wearing them. The sound quality on my end was very good and usually the calls came through very clear unless the person on the other end of the line had a lot of background noise or had their phone on speaker, but that is no fault of the headset of course. The only thing I really have to complain about is the fact the 8/10 members that I would speak to on a daily basis would have quite a bit of trouble hearing me, even when I had the microphone as close to my face as it could get and I was practically yelling just so that they could hear me. I did do some troubleshooting and had made sure that my settings were correct, but it still did not help most of the time. Though, when using the headset for gaming because my gaming headset had died, those in my party were able to hear me just fine and there were no issues with them. All in all, not the best product there is but it would work just fine in certain circumstances.

I use this headset for both work and personal scenarios. I have two one for the office and one for home, I work from home more than in the office. But it's easier to have a set in both places. I feel for the price you get a good product. It's plug and play. I have used it with Zoom, Jabber (yes so antiquated I know!), Teams, many different telephony applications and they all play nice with the product. I would definitely recommend. My only note, and not really a complaint, I have a parrot and sometimes the noise cancelling does not work as well. I can still hear her....but that could be because she's a noisy nuisance some days!! LOL

I've had these headphones for about six months now and I love them. The sound quality is excellent. I don't use the in-line volume control or mute though. The only annoyance is that when I mute from Zoom or Teams, the headphones tell me "MUTE IS ON" (or, conversely, "MUTE IS OFF"). It's REALLY loud. I wish there was a way to control the volume of that. One nice feature is that if you start talking and you're muted, the headphones tell you "MUTE IS ON". That is helpful as with my previous set of headphones I'd prattle on while on mute, and then wonder why everyone was interrupting me or ignoring me. So they protect me from my own stupidity to a certain degree. I'd definitely buy these again (if they somehow wear out) and I recommend them to others when the opportunity arises. They are especially good if you can get your employer to foot the bill!

Este fone de ouvido é excepcional. Ótima qualidade de áudio, com alta atenuação de ruído externo, leve e confortável. Vem com case para guardar/transportar que é um diferencial perante outros produtos mais tradicionais no mercado brasileiro.

レビューがよかっただけに残念 マイクは遠くから聞こえているような音質 肝心の音質もマイクがかかっているときに強制的にバックミュージックが小さくなる仕様 はじめてレビューに騙されたと思った品物

Installation simple, produit confortable et efficace

Plantronics have one of the best headsets for office meetings on Zoom, Teams or anything. These have the best noise cancelling mic which will reduce the background noise to a noticeable level. It gets too painful from the other end though, when people use mobile earplugs for meetings and you get all their background noises. Suitable for 1-2 hours of continuous calls. After 2 hours, it sometimes started to pain in the ears but that is normal anyway. Hence, I highly recommend in investing this piece and don't go for a cheaper one.

Seems very thin and don't think it will stand the test of time with users who frequently unplug the headset to use in a phone, also the jack connection is very stiff, and I expected the call button to also work as a hang up button - but it doesn't.
