Plantronics Rig Over Ear Headset Mic Replacement

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

Bought this to supplement the pastor's Countryman Over the Ear mic and it works great. Holds mic in place for whole sermon with no need to readjust. Will buy another.

Was so glad to find this headset. I lost mine and it was a replacement. I like it so much better than what is now a available in stores. I love that it fits on my ear with only 1 earplug....perfect for driving without muffling other sounds . Thank you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These over ear headphones are truly a must have for gamers! They are the JBL Quantum One and arrive with pro level audio for pure audible bliss. I have never owned a gaming headset that were as dialed in as these guys were and it definitely helped on the battlefield. As soon as I plugged them into my usb, the software (JBL Quantum Engine) prompted to install. Once finished I was able to fully customize the sound/mic and lights but also calibrate using an included small foam tipped mic that plugs into the headset mic port and then goes in your ear. Once in your ear, you put the headphones back on and some test diagnostics are ran. This will repeat in the other ear as well. I appreciate this attention to detail along with the fine tuning the equalizer allows. You can also calibrate the Quantumsphere 360 which throws you into a 360 audible field with head tracking and active noise cancelling. DTS Headphone X: V2.0 helps to build this depth of audible field. Once this is done you will feel dropped in an immersive world and it will add SO MUCH to your games! There is also an echo canceling detachable mic along with a detachable mini dial that sits near. This dial is centered between game and voice chat. Turn the dial any amount toward either voice or game to increase the volume of one while decreasing volume of the other! The headset also has a volume dial and a mute button build on the side for immediate control. Comfort feels top notch with these lightweight beauties. The ear pads are very soft and the head band seems to rest slightly more forward than I was expecting creating a secure resting on my head. The sound quality as you would expect is top notch. Opponents footsteps can be heard along with the awesome bass explosive booms from the game. Remember these have active noise cancelling and it definitely helps to tie all the other features together. Great job with these JBL!! Truly hit the mark!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the JBL Quantum 910X headset and, wow, what sound! I found that it not only had the great low-end sound when needed but the immersive clarity of the audio was amazing. It’s so sharp that you can have surround sound in a headset. Clean, crisp, and punch when I needed it. The JBL sound! So connecting the headset via Bluetooth was quick and painless. It seemed to snap connect right into place. Connected to the left ear cup was the removeable boom mic, that when lifted, goes into mute mode. When lowered the mic is immediately back on and ready for smack talk with your gaming friends. The box contains USB C and A adaptors, charging cable, a windsock/windscreen for the mic for all the jumping around and moving your head. An audio cable if you’re for whatever reason you lose Bluetooth connectivity. As well as several tutorials and registration guides to help you through setup. I, for one, am very impressed with the sound, feel, and look of this game headset. And by the way the aesthetics of the green illumination on the ear cups looks very cool.

Based on the reviews alone, I would have passed on this headset. I think the problem is people don't understand this is an ON ear headset and not an OVER ear headset. I work as a lighting designer and sometimes have to wear a headset for 15 hours straight. I was turned on to these after a show caller at an event had them, and her voice sounded amazing over intercom. These sound great in the ears, mic sounds great, and the look really professional too. I love that I can swing the earcup back to make it a single when I need to hear the room. I will agree that since it's an on ear headset it isn't as comfortable as some of the over ears. With that said, they are still way more comfortable than any of the clearcom or telex offerings, and sound SO MUCH BETTER. The noise isolation is really good too. I use these in combination with 15db molded earplugs in arena settings, and the SPL out of the headset is good enough to crank up and hear production, and the mic sounds better than my David Clarks. I love being able to swap the 4 pin cable out for an XLR/TRS cable that I can use for video conferences and remote support applications. I am very happy with this headset.

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
