Logitech H151 Wired Headset, Analog Stereo Headphones with Rotating Noise-Cancelling Microphone, 3.5 mm Audio Jack, In-Line Controls, PC/Mac/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone - Black

1) For starters, it has a built in low frequency cutoff filter. This alone knocks out unnecessary low frequency sound. This feature will make your voice sound a thinner, smaller, less full, but this is a good thing for blocking noise. If you have a mid-range to high-range voice, this may not impact your voice, but will negate unwanted low frequency environmental noise.2) It primarily allows sound from a few inches away and as sound sources are further away, those distant sounds are attenuated.I use this headset when traveling. It is especially great in airports for knocking out the overhead announcements. My voice is just about the only sound the other party hears. It is amazingly good at canceling those otherwise interfering public announcements.I tested this while sitting on my couch with the TV on loud. First I tested my phone without using the headset and had my cell phone on normal speaker and then speaker phone. The other party could clearly hear the TV. Then I plugged in the headset and the other party could not hear the TV at all or not enough to understand what was being said on the TV. The TV sounds were practically non-existent if not completely so. It was very surprising how well this worked. My own voice was loud and clear to the listening person.Usually in my car, the other person could hear car road noise and radio, but when I plugged in this headset, they could not hear anything but my voice.I use this outside while walking around and it blocks all traffic noise, lawnmower noise, dogs barking, etc.. For any environmental sound to get through, it has to be close and loud.If you have your phone or device set to automatic gain, it will try to nullify this headset by increasing volume of distant sounds. It's best to have your voice gain on manual. If you understand how to use this headset, it is incredibly good at attenuating background sound of any kind. I love this headset. It has made my communications very effective when in noisy public environments or at home when there is kitchen noises, TV noises, or other people talking in the background. It also has a mute (microphone off) feature so you can completely eliminate all sounds (including you) while listening to someone giving long talks such as on conference or dictating instructions. If I could only have one communication headset, this would be it.I have had this headset for almost four years and it has had no problems. I purchased in August 2016 and today it is June 2020. It seems to be durable. I keep it in a large plastic bag when not it use. The plastic bag keeps it clean and protected while traveling.

I hate wired headphones, but my company's paranoid security policies prohibit wireless/bluetooth headsets, so here I am. These do the trick, they have a mute button and volume control. Sound quality is good. Have not heard complaints, I've tested this to hear myself by dialing in to my same conf call via bluetooth on mute and I sound perfectly fine. The price was good so I would say it gets the job done as described and great value for the price.

This headphone is a good buy but there are 2 things that I wanted to point out. One - this is a very comfortable headphone - sits and covers your outer ear firm and just tight enough BUT you can still hear noises around you (which what I was looking for). So if you're looking for total silence or muting of your surroundings when you put on a headphone then this is NOT for you. But I must also point out that despite still hearing background noise, the headphone sound itself, whether you're listening to music, hearing the dialogue of a movie or doing virtual class or lecture, etc.) the sound is still very crisp and clear. Two - I love the mic. I have returned headphones with mics before because the mic only works in computers but not on my iPhone. And this one works with my iPhone (had to buy that extra accessory though). The mic is a good distance from your mouth - you pull it down when in use and push it back up when you're done. People can hear me well and I have not had any complains so far as (of being muffled or sounding far to the mic or any "poor quality" sound. I have been using this headphone for only 2-3 days now but there was one instance that there was no sound coming from one side (i think it was the left side) of the headphone. I adjusted the wires and that fixed the problem. So we'll see. So far I am very happy with this purchase.

Sounds great on Windows computer vs the costI doubt you will need or want to send it backfits ears well and is super light ; have not used the mike.good adjustability

I'm quite pleased with the sound quality of this headset. It's very good for the relatively low cost (about 20 bucks when I bought it). The mic switch on the cord controller is handy. The integrated controller itself is a bit heavy, and the cord is too short to make it practical to clip it to my clothes, so it tends to dangle and clatter on my desktop.The headphone earpads swivel a bit to try to conform to your particular head shape and ears. However, they don't swivel enough and press pretty hard on my ears. For short periods of time, this is fine. For more than an hour, however, these headphones become painful on my ears, especially on the tragus and antitragus. Given the amount of discomfort these generate, these really only warrant 3 stars.Good sound quality, though. And cheap.

I'm using the new headset to write this review as we speak. It works great. I can hear perfectly through it and I can dictate perfectly through it. And for the price, I don't know what else you could ask for. I was a little hesitant based on some of the negative reviews, but it works as described for me. I definitely recommend getting this if you're looking for a basic headset to be able to hear things and to be able to dictate.

I bought this headset brand new because of the lightweight and small form factor, making it easy to carry and continue wearing while in office. I was impressed with the value, and clarity of my low voice until the mic failed on me yesterday. Maybe my iPhone adapter stopped working or maybe I damaged when packing in my backpack. After testing on my laptop, I realized that the mic is definitely messed up. Unfortunately, I'm outside the return window, so this is only good for headphones only.
