Logitech Stereo Headset H151. Speak clearly with this simple,
versatile headset with stereo sound, a noise-canceling
microphone, an adjustable headband and in-line audio controls
Review: Best on desertcart - Best value on desertcart for
headsets. I manage a call center and I love these for the price
and the performance. My team loves the comfort and the quality.
The noise cancellation seems to work well as I have not overheard
any concerning conversations on the call recordings. Super clear
audio
Review: Great Headset. Here's how it works. - 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.
