Wonderful review as always! I've been using the headset for over two years now switching between USB and 3.5 connector when using phone/iPad (6th generation). Here are my notes after using many copies of this headset: 1- It is one of the most well-designed and comfortable headsets of this price and style range, if not the most comfortable. 2-Voice notifications when call received/speaking while muted, etc. 3- Mic is the standard Poly quality and I always get compliments when I speak through Poly headsets. 4-Some might not prefer the ear pads style, but the leather "stickiness" help in isolating surrounding noise. However: 1-As of many Polys' headsets of this range, you can't be super rough, use gently! 2-There is a minor hiss you can always hear; in all 4 copies I used. I assume it is the effect of the 3.5 mm connection jack but not sure. There is no way to get rid of it in all situations, but you'll forget about it in a second once you start the call! Still can't confirm if this happens through microphone as well. so far, my listeners are happy ! Other use cases of the 3.5 mm connector: You can, for example, have an audio splitter (TSR/TRRS) from the audio source and plug 2 headsets. Or plug headset and audio recorder. Or use headset with bluetooth transmitter.. get creative :) All the best and happy calls 👍

Thanks for the review. Wondering if Sennheiser SC 160 or Plantronics Blackwire C5220 might be a better choice for me. When working from home, I want to hear my kid or my pets doing stuff around the house or the doorbell ringing, but I don't want others to hear it through my microphone. Some of these most popular headsets seem to be too closed which can make them too isolating or uncomfortable and sweaty when wearing all day long. Working as a programmer, I have so many calls a day discussing bugs, test results, pair programming etc.

One model you may not be aware of that I think could work for your needs great is the model at the link below. It’s a very unique headset that keeps both ears free but you can hear out of both ears at the same time, plus it’s great for comfort and no sweating like traditional headsets can cause. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gridh7Chv7zThpc.html

first of all thx for your amazing reviews on yt. I have this headset in mind but I've heard it on other mic tests it isn't really good against wind / breath noise? You can here it crackling. Would a Headset with foam on the mic fix this issue? I haven seen many headsets that you review that have foam on the mic tbh. Is it uncommon ?!

Hi Sebastian, the 5220 is an upgrade to the 3320 because it's more comfortable, durable and has larger speakers/cushions. Either choice is a good one, but if you want better of the two, then the 5220 would be the way to go.

Hi Eli, yes this is a noise canceling microphone but as you could tell in this test, it didn't block out much of the music at all. Keep in mind, we also had the test done with the music playing direct at the microphone. If the phone was placed on the opposite side of the desk, it may have helped reduce the music. But if mic noise cancellation is crucial for you, this may not be the best model to consider.
