Good product, I use it for work. The calls are pretty clear. The company needs to work on the mute feature, it almost caused me a problem. I have to turn on and off to mute at times.

Do not buy this decent headset online

The headset is good, however don't even by mistake purchase anything from bestbuy online!!!
When I ordered it I was supposed to get delivery next day, but soon it jumped to 4 days and was eventually 12 days before it showed up......in the meanwhile I couldn't cancel it or change the address....for some strange reason their "system" wouldn't allow it.
After a lot of angry conversations with support I was eventually able to get them to change the address for delivery, however the delivery still went to the original address even though I got mail confirmation on change of address.....part of the awesome online service from bestbuy
This was a big problem for me as I wanted a temporary headset for a business trip and wasn't going to stay 10 days in the city I ordered it.
By the time I could get someone to pick up the product that was delayed and get them to take it back to a store to return apparently I had run out of the return window!
I'm just astounded in this day and age that logistics can be this bad!!
Do not buy anything from bestbuy online!

Exactly what I needed to telework

Verdict. The JLAB On-Ear Headset with ANC delivers a much improved experienced compared to my basic wired headset that I use for voice and video calls when I telework, and for large online meetings at work. I love the easy on/off functionality when moved from the charging base, the USB-C connector which allows connection without Bluetooth (my work computer does not allow Bluetooth connections), and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to maximize audio quality and focus during calls. I also LOVE not having to deal with cables… cables clutter on my desk when I am not using the headset, or the cable tangling around the keyboard or on the chair armrest.
Initial impressions. The headset appears sturdy and comfortable. It comes with a charging cable, docking station, and USB-C adapter. It does not come with a travel case unfortunately.
Setup. Using these is straight forward. I prefer to use the USB-C adapter because it’s quick and works immediately. Bluetooth installs the same as all other BT on the market.
Design. The design choice to store the headset vertically on the base is interesting. I think I actually like it because it takes up less space on my desk. The headset is comfortable with padding both on top and with plush earpads. The location of the controls is fine for me. Initially, I was concerned about trying to find the mute button in the back, but it turns out that mute is controlled by lifting/lowering the mic… that’s awesome!!
Sound Quality. Sound quality is a significant improvement compared to my basic wired headset, with richer tones at all levels. ANC and passive noise cancelation also improve the sound experience. The mic filters background noise for improved audio; I apologize for some background noise on a call, and the other person told me they couldn’t hear it… so it works!
ANC. The ANC performance does not compare to top of line headphones, but I don’t need that on a work headset. The ANC performance I get is decent and adds enough benefit to help me focus on calls. In practice, it’s a huge upgrade from my basic wired headset that provide no ANC, let alone passive noise cancellation. I also really appreciate the “be aware” mode because I can talk to someone in my office while I am on mute for the call, without removing the headset.
App. The app adds decent functionality to the headphones. What I like the most is the ability to customize the button controls. This is very helpful so that you can match the functionality of other headphones or earphones you use and are accustomed to. The app also offers a custom equalizer and noise control modes. I also like the ability to turn off “hear yourself.”
Things I love:
- Best feature by far… Flip mic to mute!! I love that
- Storage slot for USB-C connector when not in use… great idea!
- Multiple connection options: USB-C adapter for wireless connection, USB-C cable for wired connection, and Bluetooth
- Useful ANC performance, and easy off or be-aware mode; convenient button to activate
- Much better audio performance than basic wired headset
- Quality microphone that reduces background noise
- Comfortable fit that supports hours of use
- Great battery life, and fast charge in case you are running low (10 min charge for 10 hours of battery)
Things I don’t love:
- Not a problem for me, but worth considering for folks who travel: these take up more space in your bag than a standard basic wired headset
- No traveling case… That’s really unfortunate. Please charge $5 more on the overall price and include a case! It’s a must have to prevent damage over time. I don’t care to damage cheap wired headsets, but I would hate to damage this headset
Conclusion. If you rely on basic wired headset for work, I highly recommend the JLAB On-Ear ANC headset. This nice upgrade provides additional functionality, comfort, and convenience that improve telework and voice/video calls. The JLAB headset would also be great for gaming if you don’t want to spend a lot of money for gaming headsets. I love my JLAB Headset!

When I first got the headset, they were fully charged then the battery died because I used them for an eight hour period. While I used them. They were awesome. I could not charge them afterwards. I called the helpdesk and the only option she could give me instead of troubleshooting was to send out a new battery at no cost. The headset was only two days old. I didn't want that. I just take it back so then I emailed them. They told me to take a picture of my receipt to go ahead and throw out the item and send them a picture of me destroying it And they would give me a full refund. Why would I do that when I could just take it back to the store. All I wanted is some guidance and troubleshooting. It was a very simple.

Great for office… or gaming.

These are great headphones for use at the office. But they should be suitable for any use case where you need comfortable and good sounding headphones. The ear cups are actually relatively small. Normally, I would worry that headphones with such small ear cups would be uncomfortable, but these were great. The cushions are both thick and soft, and I had no problem wearing them for a couple of hours straight. This is a hard feat given that I have large ears and wear glasses. I was honestly surprised at how I could wear these for a relatively long time with no problems. Listening to music presented a nice neutral tone that I would best describe as “pleasing,” but I am no audiophile, so people with more discerning ears might have different opinions. The noise cancelling did a good job of removing the sound of the air conditioning in my cube. But these are intended for the office, so using them at a Webex meeting was a good test. Since I work in a cube farm, I get to hear my coworkers talking in the next cube over, and then hear it again through the computer. The noise cancelling did a pretty good job of removing the voices next door so that it was not overly distracting. There is a drop-down microphone that mutes when the mic is lifted up, which is a very nice touch, and is much easier than trying to control the mute using a mouse. There is a nice charging stand that also holds the wireless dongle. Tapping the button on the right ear cup controls the noise cancelling, with the usual “On,” “Off,” and “Let me hear what is happening around me” settings. At the bottom are the volume and power buttons. Overall, the headphones feel solid and use quality materials. These headphones also have an understated and “plain” look that I appreciate. If I used headphones at home, I would happily use these for gaming too. Of course, they completely lack the tacky RGB lighting and strange angles and hexagons everywhere, but that is actually a bonus to me, since I find that sort of “gamer” look to be hideous. If you don’t want to use the dongle, there is also the option of using a BlueTooth connection, so you get maximum flexibility.
But these headphones do have three annoying flaws that are not deal-breakers, but are kind of stupid. The first is that these are USB-C headphones. While I appreciate USB-C and feel that it is the future, laptops often have a limited number of USB-C ports, docking stations often have few or no type C ports, and desktops often have more type A ports. While I love USB-C, there should have been a USB-A to USB-C adapter in the box so that this can work with ANY computer or docking station that you happen to have. This does work well with generic USB-A to USB-C cables, it would have been nice to not have to scrounge up your own adapter or cable at this price. The other stupid annoyance is that the included USB-C dongle is WIDE. If I wanted to travel with this, I would not want to take the charging dock with me. The issue is that the dongle is wide enough to block access to neighboring USB ports. This is not an issue when using the charging dock, but could be a factor for portable use. The final minor annoyance is that this can be connected via USB or BlueTooth, but not both at the same time. It does feature dual connections, but only to two BlueTooth devices. If you use the dongle, BlueTooth is turned off entirely. I sometimes like to use my headphones to listen to music or media on my phone, and then switch over to my computer. The only way to accomplish this is to unplug the dongle and use the dual BlueTooth connections to pair my phone and laptop. This is an acceptable solution, but not quite ideal.
But despite the few flaws, these are great sounding and comfortable headphones that I am glad to have at my desk.
