Plantronics Gaming Headset Open Ear

I'm using this to replace a cheap in-ear headset that came with one of my Smartphones year ago. I could not believe how comfortable the new Plantronics would be. It's great for hour-long Google Hangouts/Meet and Zoom. People actually mentioned that my voice is much clearer and that there's very little ambient noise, even when someone else in the same room is on a call at the same time. The mute button only mutes on the headset but the volume buttons on the headset control the volume within Linux. I even like listening to music through it.

Purchased this to attempt to upgrade an old Plantronics USB headset with foam ear pads. I liked the foam pads because it didn't isolate outside noise too much which means sidetone isn't quite as important. Comparing these to those, these are more comfortable, but I haven't fully adjusted to increased isolation yet. The adjustment on the headset was pretty loose on one side and would adjust the height when taking the set off. I ended up removing the screws on that side and bending the metal piece to add some stiffness. It's lame that I had to do that, but it now works perfectly. Overall, I don't think I could have found a better headset for my needs, which are conference calls and music.

Paired it up with my Plantronics wireless headset and everything works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset is very comfortable and light with 3D sound. Surround sounds can be heard very clearly around you with an immersive experience. I've also noticed no latency while gaming on my PS5 via the 2.4ghz wireless dongle. I played a long time for hours without a charge. The ear cups fit nicely and comfortably without hurting your ears. The mic is very clear on the headset, flexible and detachable, which is a very nice feature. The controls on the ear cups are very easy to reach. The headset can also be used via bluetooth. Overall, they are a great headset for gaming consoles. The JBL Quantum 360X is very well designed for gaming without any disappointment. They look, feel, and work great with my PS5 console even though they are designed for XBOX, but can also be used on a PC or Mac. Overall 5 stars from me.

I owned an open ear headset about 10 years ago. I didn't have Bluetooth available in my car so I used them whenever I was driving. I could listen to the music in the car and still have my ears open to whatever was going on if I received a phone call. I used my first ones until they eventually wore out. It's great to be back with this open ear Bluetooth device. They're much lighter than the original one I had and they sound great.

I use the Open Comm daily. My mothers in ear headset died and I surprised her with these. She loves them, wears them all day while walking the dog and listening to audio books.

Really liked the wireless feature and the open ear option since I work remotely and after wearing an over ear headset I was excited to try something new. I fiddled with Shokz in the airport and they seemed worth a try. At the price I had high expectations and they did not disappoint. It’s been a few weeks and the ability to switch between two devices seamlessly has been the most surprising feature I didn’t know I needed. The sound quality is great for calls and video conferences. Whether on PC or iPhone they just work and work well.

Love the new open ear although they do not stay on while sleeping. I am therefore forced to use my aeropex headset which the internal components are loose and rattling around inside

I have a VERY OLD headset and M-12 base from long ago.  Unfortunately, the headset gave out.  But Plantronics still has compatible replacements such as the HW530.   B&H did their usual excellent support and had me a replacement within a few days.

It offers both a USB connection for my computer and a headset jack for my phone. I downloaded Plantronics software for my Windows 10 PC. I am very pleased with this product
