Poly Blackwire 5220 Wired Headset - Flexible Boom Mic - Noise Cancelling Headphones with Mic - USB-C, USB-A, 3.5mm - Ergonomic Over-Ear Design - Works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom - Work from Home

I bought this headset because I was using a decent quality Logitech USB headset but there were two problems that I was experiencing. First I use Wispr Flow, and for some reason it seemed to always get a stuttered connection, which would create problems with dictating. This didn't happen frequently enough that I would have wanted to replace it except for the second problem. The second problem is that I also use the Nextiva desktop app for my business and for some reason it would not reliably connect to the Logitech. I don't mean to bash Logitech. I love their products but for some reason I was having problems with this headset. I fixed the Nextiva/Logitech problem by using the web version of Nextiva, but that's not my preference. I decided to give this headset a go. So far I've had zero difficulty using Wispr Flow with no interruptions in my dictation, and the Nextiva connection issue magically disappeared. I would also add that the comfort of the headset is excellent and so is the sound quality. Extremely happy with this purchase so far.

Great headset, excellent audio quality and works with my softphone system for work. Exactly what I needed.

I got this headset because while I love wireless headphones, I've been continuously frustrated by Bluetooth headsets failing to connect successfully with my laptop and even my iPhone; at least with wired headphones, I'm guaranteed a connection! These headsets provide for excellent listening, and others can hear me clearly when speaking, for example, on Zoom. The headset is comfortable to wear, too. Last but not least, there are multiple options for connecting, whether through a jack, USBA, or USBC. I'd actually gotten them initially because they had a jack, given USB ports are at a premium, but once I realized I could connect with the smaller-sized USB port, for which there is less "competition," I hooked it up that way instead with no issues! Still, though, with USB port availability being at a premium generally, it's nice to know it's possible to connect with a traditional jack if the circumstances demanded it! I'm happy enough with this headset that I'm going out on a limb to purchase the wireless version, too, for greater mobility, so I'm not always chained to the headset; however, at least one commenter reported connectivity issues with the wireless version; I hope that's not the case for me, but if that happens, at least I can fall back on this reliable wired version. Thank you, Plantronics, for producing a great product!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Given the price and the high reviews, I thought that this would be a great headset. While initially comfortable (the ear pads), within 20 minutes, they start to give a headache. For someone on 6+ hours of calls, this is a non-starter. It leaves deep red spots that on my ears that take the rest of the day to go away. Also, after about 2 days, there is now a continual cracking / feedback sound that is very difficult to ignore.

Decent headphones. I would recommend buying one sided instead of double sided. Everyone can hear me perfectly with no issues.

Got these to replace another pair of Poly wire headset because I work in a VERY loud office environment. The main reason was for the noise cancellation which 100% doesn’t work. They really should be described as noise slightly muffling which is an improvement but not what I was looking for. For the price I was hoping for more/something better. You also hear yourself talk which is very disorienting at first but I did adjust. They are plug and play which is nice and makes setup instant. Overall not worth the price in my opinion but OK

I work from home and prefer both ears to be covered. These are very comfortable and durable.

Good headphones! Happy with them in a common space. Hooked right up with Teams with no issues.

Good

Parfait ! Très content de mon achat.

Uso queste cuffie praticamente tutti i giorni per lavoro e mi trovo benissimo. L’audio è chiaro sia per me che per chi mi ascolta, e il microfono fa davvero un ottimo lavoro nel ridurre i rumori di fondo. Ottima anche la funzione che ti avverte se hai il muto mentre parli, capita spesso durante le call che inizi a parlare dimenticandomi del microfono mutato e questa funzione mi torna molto utile. Sono leggere e molto comode, anche dopo diverse ore di chiamate. Davvero un prodotto di qualità, super consigliato!

Works fine, it came looking a bit dusty though, can't tell if it's been used or not but everything was intact and clean to the naked eye.

Bought for WFH, good, even, clear sound, better than the headset supplied by work, comfortable on the ears even with multiple cartilage piercings. Sound quality through the microphone is clear. USB-A adaptor and USB-C port allows switching between laptop and other devices with ease. Mute button is a godsend. Good value for money due to performance and comfort.
