Cyber Acoustics Stereo Headset – 20 Pack – USB or 3.5mm Headset, Enhanced Earcup and Headband, USB Control Module, Noise Canceling Mic & Adjustable Mic Boom for Classroom or Home (AC-5812-20)

this is a great entry level headset with good sound quality and controls. I bought it for my wife as she wanted a headset to talk to her family on the computer. She likes it because its really light. the frame is plastic which makes it very light almost un-noticeable when you wear it. It is definitely indestructible as she has stepped on it by accident and didn't even bend the frame, but hurt her foot. the control pod is nice and big to easily see and access the volume/mute functions. works great on Zoom and her skype calls.

I was looking for a wired headset to use at work/home with a noise-canceling mic. Searching Amazon led me to Logitech items but they were all USB connections. The Cyber Acoustics AC-5812 had both USB and the 3.5mm jack which gave me the flexibility of which connection to use. Obviously, USB is the preferred connection but using it on a laptop meant that USB ports are already limited given my ports are either used as a charging port for my phone and the other available port is used as my wireless mouse's nano receiver. Pros: * Low cost - retailed for $25 and got a $5 coupon * Lightweight * Control module is nice to operate sound controls plus it gives you an additional 2 feet if needed * Noise-cancelling microphone works well * Easy plug and play setup on both Windows 10 (work laptop) and Ubuntu (personal laptop) I would say there really aren't any cons. However, you need to expect that you're not going to get superior sound quality since the principal use-case for this headset is for communicating with others (in a noisy environment to minimize the background noise). You can certainly use to listen to music but don't expect this to be hitting all the ranges you would expect from headphones.

If you're looking for a headset that gets constant use, and you want something with high-end noise cancelling and all-day comfort, this review isn't going to help you because I don't know how this headset performs under those conditions. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive headset that is super easy to use and comfortable for a half-hour to an hour at a time, you might consider this Cyber Acoustics model. I work in an office and don't always have access to a meeting room, especially for meetings that pop up on short notice or when a coworker calls unexpectedly for a video chat to resolve a work issue. This wired headset is very handy in those situations. It plugs into the USB port on the side of my laptop and is ready to go. You don't have to change your laptop's audio settings, you don't have to keep the headset on a charger, you don't have to scratch your head and wonder why you're not getting sound. It just works. The volume is adjustable but plenty loud. The only aspect I don't like is that I can't hear my own voice through the earpieces, but everyone else can hear me fine, so it's not a big deal.

The mic my work provided was awful - too small, uncomfortable and would even stay on my small head. And bad sound quality. So I had to order one... So glad i chose this one! This mic is everything opposite. It fits properly, comfortably, and has great sound quality. Very happy with this purchase, especially for the value. It doesn't detect automatically when you use the USB connection, but they include some instructions for resolving. Great product!

I would not buy this item again. Although it works well for me, anyone I call gets an echo of my voice on their end.

This has been a great headset for WFH purposes and has also yielded other useful purposes. The multi connector paradigm of USB and 3.5mm audio has proven very useful. I leave the USB connector plugged into my work laptop. At times, I will disconnect the headset at the 3.5mm jack and plug the headset into my mobile phone to make a call while still sitting at my desk. I'm a big fan of function so having two functionalities wins big in my book. The headset is relatively small. The on-ear foam pads are decently protective of the ears and have not put too much pressure on the noggin. I even use the headset microphone to occasionally do voice-over work for training materials that I work on. Overall, a very decent headset for the price.

I bought these, and they work very well. Now not sure about the echo cancellation, but people that have heard me talking through the mic say it sounds very good. When recording I was actually shocked by how well it sounded. The headphones themselves are good for voice. Music sounds fine but it is kind of flat. But, they aren't bad for listening to music on youtube or something. Voice comes through great though. They are pretty comfortable as well. They do not fit over your ears, they rest on them. But, they aren't tight. They also seal well, for keeping a lot of outside noise being noticed. At this price, these have to be one of the best on Amazon.

Headset is cheaply made, but you get what you pay for. Could've tolerated the cheapness as the incoming audio is fine but outgoing I was told it sounds like I'm underwater and the audio level incoming is so low it doesn't even show up on my audio settings no matter how loudly I talk unless I tap physically on the microphone.

Excellent set .. highly recommend

Se escuchaban bien ,el problema era que con el silenciador no era compatible con el pc de mi trabajo.una pena

Not at all disappointed

Sia utilizzate al computer che con il telefono si sente un fruscio insopportabile. Ho provato altre cuffie per paragonare e quelle sono piú silenziose

Spedizione arrivata puntuale ma arrivata in un sacchetto anonimo qualsiasi, privo di imballaggio. Provata per 5 minuti: bassi inesistenti e vabbè non si pretendeva tanto però gli alti erano fritti al volume medio-alto. Inaccettabile. In più, parere personale, sono molto scomode sulle orecchie. Chiesto il reso, dove però mi è stato chiesto di imballare il pacco e metterlo in una scatola. Se cercate delle cuffie per videochiamate od altro cercate altrove.
