Excellent cheap gaming/general use headset

These are my favorite headphones. This is a re-purchase after wearing a pair I received as a gift to death.I am not an audiophile. To be honest I can barely hear the difference between these and my boyfriend's $300 Sennheisers. That doesn't mean there isn't a difference - there is absolutely a massive one. It just doesn't bother me. If sound quality is your biggest concern, be prepared to spend a lot more than you would here. For non-audiophile gaming, listening to music, conversations, and so on, these are perfectly adequate. They have directional sound so you can always tell who's shooting at you, and sufficient sound quality to be able to hear all the different parts of the orchestra, even if it's not as crisp and balanced as a more expensive headset.Comfort is the biggest one for me. I wear these headphones anywhere between 6 and 13 hours a day with minimal breaks. When new these were a little tight but they broke in quickly and now are comfortable. My ears never feel pinched and the extremely light design never makes my head tired.Another aspect is that I don't like to be shut off from things going on around me. These obviously block some sound and I do have to take them off if I need to focus on a conversation, but I can talk to people comfortably with them on. And also be able to hear the rain outside, people and pets moving around in the kitchen, and so on.The mic is fairly decent quality. Again, it's nothing like the infinitely superior standalone mics. You wouldn't want to make professional-ish youtube videos or do voice acting with this mic. For gaming, online conversations, skype, streaming, and so on, where the quality expectations are lower, it's absolutely sufficient. The only complaint I ever have about my voice online is that it is too loud, and I think that's just me. :) I'm comfortable with how my voice sounds in recordings, as well. It just isn't as good as the sound you get from a $60-120 standalone mic, but again, if that's what you're looking for, you're not going to get it with $30.Build quality and quality assurance are fantastic, as one would expect from Logitech. Like I said I wore my first pair to death. I don't remember when I got it but it had to have been at least 6 years ago, and I use these very heavily and am not careful with them (many drops to the floor, liquid spills, yanks on the cable, and so on). The final failure point was the usb cable - it got to the point where I had to tape the cable in a very specific position in order to get sound out of both ears, and I decided to replace it. At that point the foam ear cups were also coming apart and leaving little bits of black plastic everywhere. However, they were still functional and I have them in my closet as an emergency backup. The one part that's a little less durable is the headband. It's adjustable and has little clicky bits to hold it at the right place. I find that it doesn't stay in the right place and slowly slips down (when it's new, it doesn't do this, but after a few months it starts to slip down). At first you'll find you're re-adjusting them every few weeks, but eventually you have to do it a few times a week. Not a big deal especially considering the price.Ver más

A tale of two Logitech Headphones. H390 is a winner at a fraction of the cost of the Zone Wired.

I bought two Logitech headset models for work use (with Microsoft Teams). The models were Logitech Zone "Wired USB" version ($115.00) which is "MS Teams certified" and Logitech Headset H390 ($29.95).Maybe I'm crazy but I like / prefer the sound, fit, feel and long term comfort of the lower priced H390 headset.Both claim to be Noise Cancelling.PROS of the H390 model:Has a warm sound but is not lacking trebleMicrophone has a gutsy pickupDelivers music playback surprisingly well!Noise Cancelling may be superior to the Zone!! (even with air conditioner 2.5 feet away!)Good volume oomph! (i.e strong microphone pickup & output, strong headphone speaker volume).It has a normal, standard sized, USB "A" plug. (Thank You!!! Thank You!!!)---------- Vs. -----------Logitech "Zone" (wired version)* Way more money* They ship it with a USB-C type plug (I later found a Logitech provided tiny adapter that converts it to USB-A end plug). My personal bias: I don't consider USB-C to a hardy connector. It's (to me) the unfortunate wave of the future. Yes I know all of it's feature improvments, I personally just don't like it. Had I noticed it was USB-C, I would not have ordered it.* The Zone plays stereo music back but music sounds better to me on the cheaper (H390) model.* The cord on the Zone has this woven outer skin wrap that resembles "cordura" (the nylon backpack woven fabric material) that has the effect of creating microphonics whenever it inevitably rubs against my shirt (yes I'm using the little clamp provided on the cord - no difference). In short - physical rubbing (when you move) your shirt or your body against the outer cord material can be heard as a raspiness (like grrr / rrrr) in the headphones and it's annoying to me. It sets my teeth on edge. Some many not notice or be bothered by this, it bugs the hell out of me.WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE LOGITECH ZONE?* Uhh it looks cooler. It has the visual cool factor.* It has more treble, it's clear and refined...YET... I cannot say that, overall, it has the most balanced sound - especially for long hours of wearing.* The noise cancelling on the Zone works, I think, but noise cancelling success seems to be more immediately apparent to me when using the H390.MY VERY BIASED OPINION OF THE "ZONE WIRED" FOLLOWS, OK? YMMVIf you:1) Need headphones with a USB "Type C" male plug as your native, out of the box , connector...2) Want to look cool wearing a headphone with more modern styling3) Want to unnecessarily part with an additional $90 dollars4) Don't value long term comfort.5) Don't need the ability to listen to music enjoyably in your off time (due to a fuller range warm and balanced sound)6) Can live with the fact that the inline mute switch is not hardy and the flexible surface skin of the switch will quickly deteriorate...Then nothing is stopping you from ordering the Logitech Zone.Yes, I know that music playback is not a primary focus of these headsets, that may have been a low blow. For my ears and body the lower priced Logitech H390 delivers the audio and comfort goods for way less money.To be fair: Some people with different head types may do better with the Zone. My head is medium to larger sized. My PC is Windows 10, both headsets were discovered immediately once plugged in.MORAL OF MY STORY: Spending more money does not necessarily deliver better outcomes. Sometimes it merely delivers "cachet", bragging rights and complication.ADDENDUM: 8-28-2020: I am returning this Logitech Zone headset as the plastic cover for the inline Mute switch is degrading at an accelerated rate after very little use. I added this issue above to the reveiw.

Mid-Level Quality

Not the best headset out there, but for the price, you really can't complain all that much. It works relatively well and is clear enough for most tasks.

Best in its kind

I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The product arrived exactly as described, was well packaged, and exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent, especially considering the price. It performs just as it should and feels like a premium product without the premium price tag.It’s refreshing to find products that deliver real value without cutting corners on quality. Everything about this purchase—from the product itself to the fast shipping and careful packaging—shows that the seller takes pride in what they do.Running an e-commerce business isn’t easy, and great sellers deserve recognition when they consistently provide quality products and excellent service. While it’s easy for unhappy people to leave negative reviews, it’s just as important for satisfied customers to take a moment to acknowledge businesses that are doing things right.I highly recommend both this product and this seller. Buy with confidence—I would gladly purchase from them again. Thank you for providing a great product, outstanding value, and a smooth buying experience. Keep up the excellent work!Ver más

Just Bought 3rd Pair (Not As Good as first two pair)

When I began teaching online the fall of 2018, I bought my first pair of these headphones. I taught every morning for 4 hours and Friday and Saturday night for 4 - 6 hours. So these were well used. Currently, my son is still using them.I bought a back up pair in early 2020 and they stayed in the package for another year before my son needed an emergency pair and I gave the old ones and wore the new ones.The mic arm on that pair has always been tight and awkward ... and sometimes it gets stuck and I have to wiggle the base a bit to get it to turn.So I wanted to upgrade and purchased two on the more expensive Logitech headsets .. that cover your entire ear.So, I'm nearly blind and rely on my sense of sound to compensate for what I cannot see. I was unprepared for the sense of unbalance with the full ear cover set. And I could not hear myself. And I had to keep reaching up to pull them away from my ears to let the air pressure equalize.I have one bright child, Anna, who only lasted 15 minutes with the new set before begging me to put on the old ones. (I can't hear you with that one .. it just sounds so different.) We also tried the bluetooth set, and said the same thing. I began asking my other students ... every one of them wanted me to use my old headphones. Although one said the bright color was "disturbing" after seeing the black ones for 3 years.With their urging, I bought a third pair of these. Not so comfortable at times, especially at the beginning, but they do loosen up over time.There is a volume / mute button on the cord that ONLY affects the volume ... and it is super easy to run my hand down the side to adjust volume with each student and to mute myself for a cough or to talk to my kids for a second.Some kids claim that they can hear everything going on around me, and others don't notice it. Only a few of my students use headphones or earbuds.I'm still teaching my same schedule here as 2023 progresses. And still wearing the same headphones.June 2024 ... I finally had to retire the last pair of headphones, as the wires were become exposed. So, a year and a half after purchase, I pulled the 3rd pair out of their box. And I wish I could send them back. These are nowhere near the quality of the last two pair. How disappointed I am! The size adjustments keep sliding out, so the ears sag as I'm teaching. The feel of the plastic is much cheaper. I can hear the slide of the plastic when I adjust the mic up or down. These are horrible - but I'm stuck with them. Also, there is a "burr" of plastic sticking out that scrapes my leg while I'm teaching .. on the mic adjustment. I'm not sure how long these will last, but it's not going to be the 3-4 years of the last two pair. These are horrible.
