JBL Free WFH Wired Over-Ear Headset - Black

It’s a little getting used to but once familiarised it’s wonderful and clear and noise free. Great buy It’s a little getting used to but once familiarised it’s wonderful and clear and noise free. Great buy

Got this on sale and I'm really happy with the purchase. Nice balanced sound (not your typical JBL with a heavy bass). The mic is perfect and reduces ambient noise. The range of the dongle to the headset is decent. Got this on sale and I'm really happy with the purchase. Nice balanced sound (not your typical JBL with a heavy bass).

I brought these as I work from home and they are great!! Super comfy, super good quality and I love that you can take the mic out to us the headphones by them themselves! Loved the price I got them at too, especially JBL being such a good brand! I brought these as I work from home and they are great!!

The microphone is weak, the speakers are average, I regret buying it, it was a waste of money. The microphone is weak, the speakers are average, I regret buying it, it was a waste of money.

I use these predominantly for recording audio for YouTube tutorials - and the only issue I have found is the occasional breaking up of the mic audio unless the receiver is in line-of-sight to the headset, so if you're having problems with mic audio then try either an extension cable or moving the dongle to a USB socket closer to you (this worked for me). The mic is also removable if you just want to listen to audio - but I never bother unplugging it - it's flexible and easily bends out of the way if I don't need it.

The audio quality for listening to music is fantastic (as I would expect from JBL), and battery life is great as well (comes...view more I use these predominantly for recording audio for YouTube tutorials - and the only issue I have found is the occasional breaking up of the mic audio unless the receiver is in line-of-sight to the headset, so if you're having problems with mic audio then try either an extension cable or moving the dongle to a USB socket closer to you (this worked for me).

The audio quality for listening to music is fantastic (as I would expect from JBL), and battery life is great as well (comes with a USB C charging cable). They are comfortable (fully over-ear which is the only kind I can wear for extended periods) and not too heavy - and the bonus of no wires is worth the slight hassle of needing to be close to the dongle.

I've never used more expensive headsets so I can't compare these with them - but I can't imagine I would want to spend any more - I'm very happy with these.

Got this during the black Friday sale, was a good purchase for the price.
The sound quality is decent.
The mic works fine, the only negative is that it's not so flexible, you can either pull it out if you don't need to use it, or if you keep it in - its slightly flexible for you to adjust how far you want it from your mouth.

The wireless works fine. I can move around my room without worrying about it dropping out. Got this during the black Friday sale, was a good purchase for the price.

"JBL" I thought, great brand, great reputation.
So, I bought these for gaming. Great sound...yes. but they are loose and fall off your head easily, which mine did, onto the floor where they fractured the plastic at the joint holding the earpiece to the head strap...and now they are being held together with tape.
I've never had a headset that doesn't stay on the head until these. If you are going to be walking around while talking, listening to music etc, don't buy these. "JBL" I thought, great brand, great reputation.

Awesome value headphones with a detachable mic. The sound is as expected for the price. Awesome value headphones with a detachable mic. The sound is as expected for the price.

Excellent purchase. Excellent purchase.

While audio quality is good and wireless range is very good, the fact that this headset can only be used with personal computers and not other devices means that I would recommend going with something cheaper, or more versatile.
