Logitech H390 Wired Headset for PC/Laptop, Stereo Headphones with Noise Cancelling Microphone, USB-A, in-Line Controls, Works with Chromebook - Black

The good: works great. Clear sound, no background noise and plugs directly into my phone or computer. Reasonably comfortable and lightweight. I prefer wired headphones as I am on the phone all day for work, and I don't have to worry about battery issues or losing an ear bud. They seem sturdy and well constructed. The not so great: The box arrived damaged and it was clearly an open box. I can't tell if it was used or not, but it was definitely an open box and not packaged correctly. I know amazon has a reputation for being a clearinghouse for this kind of thing, and you always take a chance, but it was a great price and the product works well and appears undamaged, so I'm keeping them.

These are my go-to headphones for work. They are comfortable on the ear (I work 8-10 hour shifts, 5 days a week), the sound quality is clear, and they're fairly good at blocking outside noises. They also don't require a charge, they're easy to adjust, and the cord is long, so you don't have to worry about limited reach. I buy a new pair about every 3 years due to wear and tear of consistent usage, but it's more from cosmetic damage than any issues with sound or mic quality. I recommend these to all my coworkers who ask for one.

I listen to music frequently, and these headphones perform well for everyday use. The audio quality is clear, allowing individual instruments and the bass to be heard distinctly. For the price, the sound amplification is impressive. The microphone does pick up voice input, but it requires being positioned very close to the mouth, which is the main drawback. Overall, for watching videos and listening to music, these headphones are a solid option. I have bought multiple pair even for working from home.

The Logitech H390 headset has been one of my best work purchases. The audio is clear, the microphone works really well, and the USB‑A connection makes it truly plug‑and‑play with no setup issues. It’s comfortable enough for long meetings, and the in‑line controls are super convenient. I recommended it to my colleagues, and they ended up buying the same headset—now practically everyone at work uses these. They’re reliable, affordable, and perfect for office meetings, virtual calls, or interviews.

Perfect color. They are comfortable to wear. Ear cushions are very soft. Sound quality is great. They function good. Noise cancellation is easy and quick. Price was good. Easy to connect with USB connect.

Works great and a good value for the price. People can hear me clearly and much better than when I use the computer microphone. However, they are not bunny proof. I had to buy three of them recently because my rabbit can sever the cord in a split second and they can't be repaired. I now guard the last one very carefully.

As soon as I extricated the headset from its hermetically sealed tamper proof customer proof space age clear plastic prison using a sharp stainless steel tool and surgical precision so as not to damage the contents or hurt myself (deep breath) I noted the following: 1) The plastic molding of the body of the headset and the microphone boom has extensive continuous sharp edges. These edges are not sharp enough to cut bread, but are sharp enough to be alarming when the headset is handled. They could cut cheese. Note to designer: There should be no sharp edges on my head. Unless perhaps if the dual use purpose is as a ninja star for protection in dangerous office environments. Then I plugged it in: 2) The large mute button has a pinhole size light to indicate when the headset is in use. It blinks when it is on mute. The light is tiny and dim, and not easily visible when viewed at an angle. Note to designer: After the speakers and the microphone, the mute button is the most important feature on the headset. It is used very often. It is imperative that the user can determine quickly with no doubt when it is engaged. It should be a large bright indicator light viewable from all angles and from a distance. When someone puts the headset on mute there is a REASON. They must have certainty under all conditions. When I look down to see if I am on mute (I can't hear that I am on mute) I want a fast unambiguous answer at any angle. I don't want to have to position the light. Sometimes I leave my desk temporarily while a conference call continues and then I look back to make certain my headset is on mute. This is going to be very difficult with this design. Perhaps you could have a little dim pinhole light to indicate the headset is plugged in (possibly a different color). Please don't make it blink to indicate mute. I want instantaneous information. I don't want to process blinking. Function should always dictate design. Beauty is functional, not a first impression. 3) The USB plug is oversized. I assume this was an attempt to cram all the electronics into one place. The problem is that the plug is effectively 75% longer than normal and therefore exerts exponentially more leverage on the USB socket when the wire is moved. Anything attached to people might move (people move). This makes the plug appear almost loose as it effortlessly wiggles around. The result is needless wear and tear on the socket. Note to designer: put the electronics in a separate container further up the wire. It is not as elegant, but the USB plug and socket will not wear and break from excessive forces. Things that work and are always reliable (do not break themselves or hurt other things) are truly beautiful. 4) The impressively well made ear pieces, with synthetic padded ear cushions make my ears perspire. I much prefer the inexpensive breathable foam covers on my old headset, which I can replace when they wear out. On the new headset the loop that rests on the top of the head is also well padded. All this padding is probably only necessary because of the added weight of the padding itself. Both headsets are just as comfortable except for the fact the new ones leave my ears damp. Note to designer: beauty is felt as well as seen. Better to feel good than look good. Other than what I have written above, the headset seems very nice. As to how they sound, I'll leave that to others to comment on. My old Plantronics headset sounds fantastic so I expect just as much from this one, that is a given. There is far too much attention paid and time spent discussing incremental improvements in sound that few people will notice or care about. The ergonomic design is the issue. Paradoxically, my old headset is, as a practical matter, much better than this new one. Unfortunately, it was discontinued several years ago and I cannot buy it anymore. I am not nostalgic or sentimental, just stating the facts. Fortunately, years ago I bought ten or twelve pairs (mostly for people in my office) and kept several pairs for myself. They were about $50 per pair back then. I have one left that I am using and will continue to use until it breaks. My headset is used heavily all day long, every business day. When it breaks I will use the new pair (maybe). Unfortunately, the new Logitech pair and another new Plantronics pair I just bought (with its own serious design flaw) were the closest in design to the tried and true Plantronics pair I am currently using. The state of the art has moved backwards. It was near perfect a few years back, and since then the designers seem to be making work for themselves by doing the equivalent of painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa or leprechauns in the Sistine Chapel. I would pay $50 today to buy a new pair of my old headset simply because everything about the design is correct - and today it would probably only need to cost half that much. Update: After using this headset for several months, I can say the speaker and microphone quality are good - as expected. However, I had to tape the wire to the microphone boom to prevent it from constantly sliding across the aforementioned sharp edges of the boom and making a wicked scraping sound like a demonic violin. This sound was very audible to the listener at the other end but not so much to me. It played every time I moved. This was a consequence of the design. The wire emanates from under the left ear piece between the ear cushion and the microphone boom. If it is plugged into a port to the left and front of the user, it will transverse the top of the boom and make an evil hiss. Taping it to the outside of the boom solved the problem. In addition, both size adjustment slides needed to be taped permanently in position because the mechanism to hold them in place is too weak and it was in constant need of readjustment. So now there are three large taped areas on my new unbroken headset. As many people have indicated in their reviews, this headset can be painful when used for extended periods of time. This is due to the imbalance of compression tension with head size adjustment. The ratio is not correct for the human head. If you have a wide head, you would consider this headset a torture device. It appears no consideration was given during the engineering to the space taken by the large firm ear cushions, which ironically are supposed to make the user more comfortable. Update June, 2014: The headset has stopped working properly. The microphone goes on and off and moving the wire can generate electric crackling noise. The problem is located where the wire from the USB socket connects to the mute button. They are going in the pail.

When I began teaching online the fall of 2018, I bought my first pair of these headphones. I taught every morning for 4 hours and Friday and Saturday night for 4 - 6 hours. So these were well used. Currently, my son is still using them. I bought a back up pair in early 2020 and they stayed in the package for another year before my son needed an emergency pair and I gave the old ones and wore the new ones. The mic arm on that pair has always been tight and awkward ... and sometimes it gets stuck and I have to wiggle the base a bit to get it to turn. So I wanted to upgrade and purchased two on the more expensive Logitech headsets .. that cover your entire ear. So, I'm nearly blind and rely on my sense of sound to compensate for what I cannot see. I was unprepared for the sense of unbalance with the full ear cover set. And I could not hear myself. And I had to keep reaching up to pull them away from my ears to let the air pressure equalize. I have one bright child, Anna, who only lasted 15 minutes with the new set before begging me to put on the old ones. (I can't hear you with that one .. it just sounds so different.) We also tried the bluetooth set, and said the same thing. I began asking my other students ... every one of them wanted me to use my old headphones. Although one said the bright color was "disturbing" after seeing the black ones for 3 years. With their urging, I bought a third pair of these. Not so comfortable at times, especially at the beginning, but they do loosen up over time. There is a volume / mute button on the cord that ONLY affects the volume ... and it is super easy to run my hand down the side to adjust volume with each student and to mute myself for a cough or to talk to my kids for a second. Some kids claim that they can hear everything going on around me, and others don't notice it. Only a few of my students use headphones or earbuds. I'm still teaching my same schedule here as 2023 progresses. And still wearing the same headphones. June 2024 ... I finally had to retire the last pair of headphones, as the wires were become exposed. So, a year and a half after purchase, I pulled the 3rd pair out of their box. And I wish I could send them back. These are nowhere near the quality of the last two pair. How disappointed I am! The size adjustments keep sliding out, so the ears sag as I'm teaching. The feel of the plastic is much cheaper. I can hear the slide of the plastic when I adjust the mic up or down. These are horrible - but I'm stuck with them. Also, there is a "burr" of plastic sticking out that scrapes my leg while I'm teaching .. on the mic adjustment. I'm not sure how long these will last, but it's not going to be the 3-4 years of the last two pair. These are horrible.
