[Trainer-Talk] Looking for a headset with microphone.

Thu Feb 10 13:47:34 UTC 2022

In addition to price, features and conveniences the most important question that I would have about any headset being recommended is how does it sound to others? Great features, a good price and comfort honestly mean nothing to me if people I communicate with think that I'm speaking out of a tin can. That being said can you comment on the microphone's ability to deliver good sound with any of these models?

Hi Kat,
I use these here. I like them. They allow me to hear my surroundings and yet I can hear what's coming out of the headphones very clearly.

Here is another set. This description comes from a good friend of mine and I trust his opinion.
I personally own and love these headphones.  Partly just for the physical mute button on the boom, the fact that they last an entire work week on a charge, and they cut out all noise, even on regular phone calls.  The rest speaks for itself. These are USB C and can be used wireless or wired.  I know of nothing in this price range that even comes close!

Hi All,
I wanted to reach out, as I'm looking for a headset with microphone as I'm in a lot of meetings at work and it's been said that other participants hereJAWS. I am having to mute myself for the duration of the meeting and email my responses when I asked questions. I know that Chancy had mentioned a logitech headset that she uses, that has a microphone and all of the controls are on the side. If anyone can assist in regards to the exact model, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kat
