About this deal

Having good sound helps to project a professional image and helps to avoid having your callers struggle to hear you, or ask you to repeat yourself due to their hearing struggles. Forget about all that, because you won’t have any issues like this. Just clear, easy to understand sound. The 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.

The cord is a nice red color which adds a touch of character to the headset without being too distracting. It's a thin cord of decent softness/flexibility, and does an above average job of dampening movement noises when moved. You can still hear movement in the cord, but it is dampened more than normal cables. Use the intuitive inline controls to end/answer calls, control the volume, and mute to make call management easy. A lightweight metal headband offers durability and a comfortable custom fit. A dynamic EQ feature optimizes the quality of your voice on calls, and automatically adjusts the EQ setting when you want high-quality sound.

If you need help then our team are available from Monday to Thursday (between 9:00am and 5:30pm GMT) and on Friday (between 9:00am and 4:30pm GMT) Multimedia/music sound quality is mediocre out of the box, but can be made decent/passable with equalization

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. Today´s workplaces can be filled with distractions and can be really noisy, so the 5220´s precisely tuned microphone masks nearby conversations. Considering that the 5220 doesn’t have ANC, it performed well with the passive design to reduce the noise that we threw at it. Headband suspension pad The knee jerk reaction by many is to discard the headset and buy a replacement. If you’ve had a similar thought if faced with USB headset issues, hold off on that thought until you read this blog.Please note although Plantronics provides HAC approved headsets, companies that specialize in assistive listening products are typically best at determining appropriate solutions for individual customers.

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. 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. Over the years, we’ve received countless calls from customers who report having abrupt, out of the blue issues with their USB headsets. The headset is working fine one moment, and the next moment it has static, speaker problems, microphone problems, volume issues and more.

Customer reviews

While on the subject of the headband, it adjusts so you can make it longer or shorter to fit your exact need. One minor thing here that’s a bit unique is the 5220 headband has numeric reference when adjusting. If you’re not familiar with our unique rental program, you can watch the video below to learn more. It’s inexpensive, it’s flexible and there’s no long term contract. Just what you want when the kids are noisy, or the dog sees the mailman. Well, you get the idea.
