JLab JBuds Work Wireless Headsets with Microphone - 60+ H Computer Bluetooth Headset for PC, Teams, Office, Multipoint Connect, Over Ear Wired or Wireless Laptop Headphones with Microphone

First of all, these headsets do not have a noise cancellation feature, so I have no idea whatsoever why Amazon want me to rate that feature. Obviously 0 stars for that. Even Jlabs don't make that claim!After that it had to be said that this is a terrific headset for the money. Light and comfortable, easy to install, runs for ages between charges. It's fair to say that it will satisfy 99.99% of users 99.99% of the time whether it's being used for an Office Teams meeting, multiplayer video game, to watch a movie or tutorial, or listening to music. Sound quality is pretty good with bass frequencies reproduced powerfully down to about 20hz with little flutter, although I was slightly disappointed to find that at the upper end the frequency response tops out at a mere 15khz. I was hoping for at least 18khz, but the cut off is so dramatic I suspect this is by design so that anyone using it for many hours continuously is protected from high frequencies that could cause headaches, so this could well be another very positive design point. Also it is basically marketed as office equipment rather than HiFi, so that's fair enough.I like that the mic lights up red when muted. When I'm awaiting my turn to speak in a Teams meeting, I mute my mic on the headset not within the Teams app. This means I'm not frantically trying to get my mouse back into the right place to unmute myself when my turn comes - I just click the switch on the right earpiece and I'm on.The mic arm rotates both ways so you can have it on the left or right side, but if you have it on the left, the left and right stereo channels are flipped, so if having stereo sound with the mic on the left is important to you, make sure your phone or sound card can flip the stereo channels back for you.Overall, 4.99 stars.

Bought these as a replacement for a Jabra headset that finally disintegrated after continual daily use since March 2020.I have quite a large head (not Mekon standard but above average) so far east headphones can be tight and uncomfortable. This headset fits quite well. The padding on the head bar doesn't cause any pressure sores, the ear padding is also comfortable after a long day on calls. On a hot day, ears aren't all sweaty either.The downside for me is the earpieces seal onto the ear too well. When speaking you get that 'underwater' feeling when you can't hear your own voice. I like the audio feedback so I don't shout or sound nasal when speaking. Some apps will allow a feedback setting which is OK but not ideal for me. That lost them a star in my rating.Audio volume and quality is good. They won't replace your Dr Dre's or Skullcandies but for audiobooks and general listening they are quite sharp and clear.Battery life is very good. On calls all day drain is about 60%. Full charge on USB 3.0 in about 3 hours. Over time, battery life will reduce depending on the quality of the fitted battery.Bluetooth connectivity is dead easy and range is good. They do support 2 devices but how to get the second device to work without disconnecting the first is a mystery.The mute/answer/end call button travels a long way. A surface button would be a lot better but it works and for the price, I can't really complain.As an all day calls professional workshorse, Jabra is the brand, price is the downside. For intermittent use plus Twitter spaces and Teams, this headset is good value and performs well.

I can't say anything about any noise cancellation these might do, I use them at home, so background noise isn't an issue.What I *can* say, is that they are lightweight, and comfortable. I've been able to wear these for long periods of time, without overheating like I do with some headsets. The ear cups have soft foam covered with a cloth material, that seems to let the heat escape from your ears. I find the tear-drop shaped cups allow my ears to nestle into them (although they are described as "over ear"). Mileage will vary for people with big ears!! :-)I like that the microphone stick has a red light on it, when using the mute button on the right cup, so you have a visual cue that your microphone is muted - although this mute button function doesn't appear to work with Teams (in that the microphone can be muted on the hardware, but Teams will still show the microphone as "on").Battery life seems good. Lasts at least a few weeks (on standby).I like that the left ear cup can be removed, so if you're like me, and tend to start talking louder when you're wearing a headset, you can listen to yourself and moderate your speaking volume! The wire connection to the ear cup is a tiny phono connector, which is a little bit fiddly to remove, but I'm tending to leave it in place anyway (because using it at home, rather than in an office).The sound is adequate (for voice calls and gaming). Reasonable bass in music, although vocals seem to be a bit thin. I don't think they would be regarded very highly by someone who looking for "good" headphones for music. But then, they aren't intended for that purpose. Good enough for YouTube and the like. I have also found that I have to bump the volume control up in Windows, to get to a loudness level similar to my other headsets. So the speaker drivers might be a little underpowered.The only real gripe I have, is that the ear cups have a habit of slipping (very slightly) downwards as I remove and replace them, so I find I have to readjust each time. Once they are on, they stay put, but it's a niggle. I have an AKG pair, with a separate headband and tensioner set up, that just go on without any such faff. I may find myself solving the issue with some tatically applied duct tape...
