Worth buting
They work perfectly

Pretty good
I’d been using a binaural Plantronics HW261N headset for, oh, probably 12 or 13 years now.I loved that thing. It was so lightweight and the sound was so absolutely adequate that I could leave the headset on all day and use a switch to flip it between my phone and my computer, and listen to music anytime I wasn’t on a call. It was comfortable, and had a quick-disconnect attachment which enabled me to later transition to a USB connection straight to the computer when I no longer had to take calls as a regular part of my job.But the mic was starting to get scratchy, and when I’d try to record narration voiceover for a screencast or something, I was not happy with the quality I was hearing, and I had to assume everyone I spoke to in Zoom meetings was hearing the same thing.It was time to get something new, but I didn’t want a huge gaming headset, and I didn’t need a call center headset, but I was really pleased with Plantronics’ long term quality and the lightweight comfort,but also I didn’t want to spend more money than I should just buying a new set of an old model, so I went looking, and looking.That’s when I learned that Plantronics and Polycom have done a corporate fusion dance and now the company is doing business as “Poly”, and that the “Blackwire” line is their prosumer grade selection, “ironically” identifiable by its trademark high visibility red wire.It had pretty good reviews, and seemed to basically match the format of the old headset I was replacing, so I took a chance on them.They’re not bad, but I have some critique:1. The dumb red wire.Haha get it? because it’s named Blackwire.Its edgy, it’s ineffable, it’s modern, its cool. whatever.I’m a professional, and I actually don’t *want* to draw attention to my headset during a video call, so I don’t mind if it’s all black and doesn’t stand out.I can live with the color, it’s just a dumb marketing thing to juxtapose against the name and I’m not impressed by it.2. The dumb red wire is about 60 inches long, but it ought to be about 72 inches long.This complaint is probably more to do with the idiosyncratic setup of my own desk space and how my wires are routed (it now connects to a USB switch that toggles between two computers), but I find it’s frustratingly just a little short at times, and I wish it had another foot in length.3. The volume control & mute buttons on the dumb red wire are too high up.They should be further down the line so that they are more out of the way and hang over the lap, rather than hanging across the belly.4. The fact that it BEEPS when you press the volume buttons.This is an amazingly stupid and incredibly annoying feature. Any press of a control button like volume or mute causes a distinct beep in the headphones, which seems to always be the same volume, irrespective of the volume level being set on the computer. No apparent way to disable this. REALLY hate it.5. The mic boom gets a little in the way when drinking.After a little experimentation to find the optimal position for the mic relative to my face, I find that when I lift my mug to take a drink, sometimes the edge of the mug collides with the end of the mic boom. My old headset had a mic sweet spot that apparently worked well with my cups, but this one is a little shorter and sits in a different spot and so manifests some occasional conflict with my cup.On the other hand, these complaints haven’t stopped me from continuing to use it.It’s really lightweight and comfortable. It accepts gentle adjustment. I can wear it all day and forget it’s on.The sound quality in the headphones is as much “absolutely adequate” as the last one, so it meets my needs and expectations. I’m not trying to be an audiophile here, I just want to listen to music all day while I work, and use the same headset for occasional recordings or video meetings.And it’s STEREO! My old set was MONO, so that’s a fun upgrade.The mic quality in particular is nice and smooth and clear and without scratch or crackle. Huge difference in recording voiceover for ad-hoc instructional videos.I do miss having a quick-disconnect. I had gotten really used to that.Also, this doesn’t come with a line clip (a clip that attaches to the cord, and then “bites” your shirt, to keep the weight of the control box on the line from pulling too much on your headset), but I was able to pop the one off my old Plantronics set and use it here.The cord is thinner, so it doesn’t stay in place as well as I’d like, but it works for now.For the price, it’s absolutely fine, if not great.It could be better, and I’d even be willing to pay a little more if it was, but it’s not.

Good basic headset for remote workers
I used headsets at work for decades. I retired and went back to work after 6 years. Took me awhile to figure out that Plantronics is now Poly! This one is very comfortable. It is USB-C, but comes with a USB-A adapter just in case. Excellent sound quality, very clear. Mic and speaker volume are easily adjusted on your HP laptop. Reasonable price.

I think it’s a good buy
I bought these for work. It works well for what I paid for it. The sound comes through clearly and it’s super lightweight which is something I like. You can also move the mic further or closer to your mouth. The extension cord is not that long but is okay enough for a small work space and if you tend to stay put in one spot. I’m not sure if there are multiple sizes of this headset but the one I have is adjustable to fit nicely on top of my head. It’s durable and the mic quality seems great. If I had anything negative it would be that about 4 hrs into my shift my ears need a break from the pressure of the cushions pressing against them. The cushions are just a your normal speaker foam which I think I could have found better else where if I was willing spend a bit more, but unfortunately I wasn’t so this design gave me the value I was comfortable with for the money I was spending. One other thing, every now and then it beeps whenever I’m on a call, as if to spontaneously go on mute, but what I look at the indicator light it shows no difference in settings.

Me compré estos auriculares para usarlos en el trabajo y por ahora el resultado es perfecto. Se escucha perfectamente y en las diferentes calls para los que lo he usado no ha habido problemas con mi micrófono.La posibilidad de poder mutear, o subir o bajar el volumen desde el mando que lleva integrado en el cable son bastante útiles, ya que no es necesario hacerlo desde el PC o tocando el propio auricular, lo cual es incómodo cuando los estás usando.Adicionalmente se puede ver si el micrófono está en mute gracias a una luz que aparece en el mando.Por mi parte ha sido una buena compra
