If you work in an office with coworkers, or like many, find yourself working from your newly established home office, you’re likely using, or in need of a good quality office headset.Additionally, there’s been a universal adoption of Zoom type video conferencing software too. If any of this sounds familiar to you, then you can understand and appreciate how a headset plays into this picture.

Time-Weighted Average prevents average daily noise exposure from exceeding 85 dBA (enabled by Poly Lens) Additional lower level hearing protection against acoustic startle is provided Poly Lens software limiting peak levels to 102 dBAThe headset is slightly on the heavy side for a telephone headset, but light for a pair of stereo headphones. It has a metal headband that is honestly not pleasant to touch, but conveys a sense of durability compared to a plastic headband. That being said, your head actually touches the elastic cushion that balances the headset nicely on the top of your head. I have a large head, and found the squeeze pressure to be "average" compared to a lot of other headphones I use, but slightly more pressure than my previous Plantronics phone headset that is lighter and for phone use only. This pad is suspended and has a sort of rebound design that allows you to find the most comfortable position with this pad that moves as needed. Again, this isn’t a common feature for headsets overall, let along on a headset slotted as mid-grade. Nice detail that aids in the comfort. In the Telecommunications industry, there’s been a shift away from using desk phones and a rapid migration towards computer based Softphones for voice communications. Multimedia/music sound quality is mediocre out of the box, but can be made decent/passable with equalization What is Active Noise Cancellation? This is an electronic aid that helps to remove, or filter out unwanted noise. It’s found mostly on premium type headsets, and it’s activated by pressing a button on the headset.

Microphone frequency response: 100 Hz – 8 kHz optimal for PC wideband voice telephony (up to 6,800 Hz)Just what you want when the kids are noisy, or the dog sees the mailman. Well, you get the idea. You want to keep it professional and cut the noise. The 5220 succeeds here. No Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) The included controller with call buttons is mounted a little further from the headset than I'd like. You can tell this is the same headset as the 5220t, which is designed to be used without the USB adapter, which makes the cord a great length for tablet/computer/phone use. The ear cups on the 5220 adjust inwards and outwards so you can get the right angle for your specific head shape. This may seem like a minor detail, but honestly, when it comes to office headsets and comfort, the details are what makes all the difference.
