r/Headsets

I am so incredibly furious with Logitech right now.

I recently lost the LIGHTSPEED USB dongle for my Logitech G535 wireless headset. The headset itself is in perfect working condition, so I figured, "No big deal, I’ll just go to their website and buy a replacement transmitter."

Guess what? They don't sell it. It completely does not exist on their official spare parts store.

When I contacted their customer support, they basically hit me with a "sorry, can't help you" response. Because a tiny USB stick is missing, their official stance is apparently that I should just throw a perfectly good, fully functional headset into a landfill and spend another $80+ on a brand new one.

Look at companies like Turtle Beach—if you lose a transmitter for one of their headsets, you can easily go onto their site, spend fifteen or twenty bucks, and buy a replacement. It takes two clicks. But Logitech? They’d rather generate e-waste and force you to buy a whole new unit.

It is greedy, anti-consumer, and completely ridiculous. If you are thinking about buying a wireless headset from Logitech, be warned: if you lose or break that tiny USB dongle, they will completely abandon you. Never buying a Logitech audio product again.

Hello I currently have a HS55 corsair and I wear glasses. It caused me to have budlges on my antihelix on my ears. I don't know if I should get over ears headset or rather a headset with better earpads. I'm looking for suggestions here. Thanks you in advance all help if very much welcomed

Hello, I’m looking for a decent wireless headset for gaming, discord calls, and maybe listen to music. My budget is around $140, but i can go a little over if needed.

My priorities are:

1. I’m looking for clear audio with decent spatial accuracy.

2. It must be wireless (I’m gaming with the steam controller and need audio for gaming)

3. It must have a decent mic. My current headset (SteelSeries Arctic Nova Wired - idk which number, it was on the cheap end) is just recognized by my pc as a headphones and it wont receive the microphone input anymore. My other headset, my backup - JLAB GO work (yeah it was a budget pull, deep regret) has a decent mic but awful audio passthrough for certain games (i.e. destiny 2)

4. I travel somewhat often, its optional but the headset being relatively portable would be nice, but not mandatory.

5. Tonal balance would be nice, but i just need something that works well. I mostly listen to rock and its subgenres, punk rock, folk rock, soft rock, alternative, etc.

If anyone has any recommendations, thank you!!

I have around 300$ and need a new headset and i play on ps5 what of these three choices is the best budget Wise and mic and sound wise
Corsair void \~70$
Steelseries arctic Nova 5 \~100
Hyper x cloud alha pro \~85$

Would love some help I’ve been spinning wheels on endless options.

I’m looking for a wireless headset, over ear
I really wanted noise suppression so I can focus and a boom mic. I see a lot of the over ear ones look bulky and heavy and make your ears sweat.
I am on calls a lot for hours and I need something comfortable.

I was looking at the jabra evolve 3 75, the evolve 3 85,jabra evolve 65 flex and then got lost with all the other thousands of brands.

My budget is 300 max

Hello, my first post on here looking for recommendations to buy a headset tomorrow. I’ve gone from 2x Steelseries artic 9x and now a pair of A50’s … the base station power port just popped off and well I’m not no soder person. Doubt anyone in Atlanta will do it for cheap. I’ve had a pair of 7x but what I want is a Xbox/pc head set that has the same loudness of the a40 and 9x which I felt the 7x lacked. I’m not the most try hard player unless it’s r6 games. Anything in a budget of $150. Will be looking on Facebook for now but please give me suggestions.

Hi,

I’m looking for headphones mainly for office work. The most important use case is calls and meetings on Microsoft Teams. I would also use them occasionally for listening to music, mostly in the office, and sometimes while traveling.

I’m considering Jabra headphones, especially:

Jabra Evolve3 85

possibly another model from the Evolve / Evolve2 series, such as the Evolve2 85

From what I’ve seen, the Evolve2 85 has a retractable boom microphone, which seems very practical for calls. On the other hand, I’ve heard that models without a boom mic can be lighter, more comfortable, and easier to transport.

The most important things for me are:

very good microphone quality for Teams calls,

comfort during longer use,

good noise reduction in an office environment,

stable connection with a laptop,

decent music quality as a secondary use,

easy transport.

Does anyone use the Jabra Evolve2 85, Evolve3 85, or similar models and could share their opinion?

Is it worth choosing a model with a retractable boom microphone, or is it better to go with something lighter and more mobile?

Maybe you would recommend something else that is clearly better?

Which headphones would you choose for office work and Teams calls — and why?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello, Im located in a major city with access to almost any retailer. I currently have to wear a one ear bluetooth headset all day at work thats connected via bluetooth to a radio. I need to constantly be able to receive the radio audio and be able to push to talk on the physical radio and have the headset mic transmit my voice. Im looking to see if a bluetooth headset exists that can do this role while simultaneously being connected to my phone so I can also have music playing in my ear until someone speaks on the radio. I have searched online but I cant seem to find a headset with this characteristic. It seems like multi point was my solution but no apparently that function just allows 2 devices to be connected at once to more easier switch between them. What I need is to have them both connected to the headset while at the same time having both audio inputs be transmitted at the same time. My budget is up to $300 as of right now. The headset also needs to be one ear only with a mic. I have previously seen one coworker have an earpiece with this setup or at least he claimed it could do so but have never had a chance to speak with them since. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,I love these headsets,they’re beautiful,comfortable and have great sound quality.

I have the white version with custom ear cups, and the only thing I don’t like about them is the grey colour on top.

I’d like to paint that part in white.

What would be the best option for a beginner ? I don’t want to use spray paint.

I was thinking of using white Posca markers and then applying a coat of mate Mod Podge.

Don’t want a glossy finish.

What do you think ?

Will it work, or will I ruin my headphones?

I previously had the hyperx stinger and the razer kraken x, and since both of those broke, im looking for help to find a good headset, wired, for PC gaming, mostly fps games like cs2, valorant, r6s, etc
My budget is max 100€, but would prefer something around 50€, maybe even less if they are actually a good budget option. I have a large head and i wear glasses, so bear in mind that it cant be a really narrow or fragile headset

Hi everyone,

My coworkers in an open office can be pretty loud at double arm’s length.

My top priority is noise reduction for my own ears. That matters more to me than mic noise cancellation, although I still want the mic to block as much background noise as possible for the other person on the call.

I generally prefer over-ear headsets because they usually isolate better and feel more comfortable, but I’m open to on-ear options if they perform really well.

Wired only, please. If a Bluetooth headset also works properly via cable, that would be fine too.

Any recommendations?

Thank you!!

Im looking for a lower end wired headset that is comfortable. Realizing the headset i got off amazon isnt comfortable for more than an hour. Need something with better padding. Any suggestions?

I've been having some small issues with my Jabra Evolve2 65 (and Jabra Link 380) with random audio drop outs for roughly 10 seconds at a time, When the audio returns, It sounds quite distorted then comes back to normal again. Potentially RF issues? The dongle is plugged directly into a laptop.

My use case is an open office for 3 days a week and two days at home. Home environment can be quiet, Can sometimes be a bit louder depending if my 3 year old is at home that day...

I work a 36 hr week and currently can last with the Jabra a full week on one charge depending on the week. Sometimes I'll need a charge by Wednesday night, Thursday if it has been a busy week. I would like to maintain that lengthy battery as I do sometimes forget to charge frequently. This is why I'm considering the Impact 500 over the 1000.

Are there any others I'm potentially not looking at?

Edit to add: I would likely be looking at open box/as new items to cut cost. My Jabra's were bought for £35, I can get the Epos Impact 500 for around £75 or the Yealink for around £85-£95 with an included charging dock.

so my HyperX Cloud Alpha S has served me well for years but it's time to move on and finally go wireless. budget is around $200–$250, I game on PC mostly competitive stuff, and I also listen to a lot of music so sound quality actually matters to me — not just gaming audio.

that said, my absolute #1 priority is comfort. I have a real problem with headsets that heat up my ears after long sessions and the clamping pressure starts to build up. had a couple headsets before that I stopped using because of this. I live in Lima, Peru which is pretty humid year-round, so that probably makes it worse lol.

I've been looking at the G Pro X 2 Lightspeed and the Cloud III S Wireless as the main candidates — both seem solid and are actually available here. but honestly I'd love to hear what you guys would pick if you were in my shoes, or if there's something else in this range I'm completely overlooking. needs to be wireless and available outside the US since a lot of stuff just doesn't ship here (Audeze Maxwell and Arctis line for example are basically impossible to find locally, otherwise I'd probably already have one).

what would you go with?

i got the razer blackshark v3 pro and they sound very sharp to where they are hurting my ears. i tried different ea settings and it feels a bit better but im not sure. i play mostly competitive fps and i came from razer krakens 2019 should i swap for a different headset like:

corsair virtuoso pro max

astro a50 gen 5

beyerdynamic 230 wireless
