Plantronics Blackwire C3220 Headset

I'm a headset designer of headsets for pilots and this headset passes my boom mic noise rejection standards.Because of my expertise in the area, my friends are always asking me what headset they should get for virtual meetings. This headset is always my recommendation. It's reliable and high performance for it's intended use. Zoom/Teams calls for professionals. And probably call centers too :(It is not noise canceling for the users ears! You will hear your dog barking but your customers won't, so if you need to knock down environmental sounds so you can hear, this is not that solution. This headset is great to make how you sound less noisy to others on the call! Example: A co-worker works from home and so does his wife in the same room. You could hear his wife on calls when he talked, until he got this headset after I sent him a note. Problem solved for both of them, or at least I never can tell anymore!What imakes this a great product is reliability and an excellent noise canceling boom mic. The type of microphone that rejects sounds coming from a distance, but is very sensitive to sound sources that are close (i.e. your mouth)Comfort note, almost any headset that is touching your pinna (ear) will become noticeable after an hour or so, but just removing it for a short time really helps. I often forget to take it off after a call. There are more expensive solutions, but the quality of the noise canceling boom mic makes this a winner and it is very affordable at under $50.Beware that not all boom mics are great at noise reduction and just saying noise reduction doesn't always mean they work well. This one is. devil is in the details!It will best any non-boom headset period, ignore marketing claims in terms of noise reduction IMO. Even the $400 dollar boom-less ones!I've designed them for pilots and know it's easy to screw up boom mics noise canceling performance but they didn't.Also, having made products with a lifetime warranty, I get frustrated at wires breaking at the first or second tug and sending it to landfills. I can say that using this product for over a year now, pretty much daily for work, it is holding up very well, like new, and Plantronics understands cord reliability issues and how to make them last.Highly recommended for Zoom/Teams calls, but mono, so get a stereo Plantronics headset version for >2x the price if you care.Portland Mike

I love this brand, and the headset is high quality for an affordable cost. The sound quality is great blocks out background noise really well - very comfortable on my ears!

Always a decent brand and long lasting. I really like the noise canceling feature especially on teams calls.

Wonderful to use for remote work or freelance (video calling or editing). I’ve purchased two of these and have used this brand for over 2yrs. The ear muffs are comfortable and the cord length can extend from computer to your hands.I’ve researched a lot of headsets but this one is good for an affordable price!

I am writing this review after using this for last 2.5 year and this is still working as good as it was on day 1. It being lightweight means I can use it for extended hours like 4 hours in stretch without straining my neck. Good sound quality. I am using a usb a to usb c converter to adjust it to my new laptop which has more usb c slots than usb a.

Working from home with an active house requires a good noise cancelling headphone! This set checks all those boxes. They are adjustable and the ear covers are comfortable. The microphone is not pressed against your face or mouth and the volume/mute buttons are easily accessible. The price for this unit is very affordable and the shipper was quick to respond and ship.

This headser is good with avaya but not noise canceling I was told it sounded like I had a television on and they heard everything

This is second unit I have purchased. Due to my extensive travel schedule the boom microphone stopped working after a couple of years but unit is very comfortable, works well and travels well.
