What Buyers Say
Logitech Zone 981-000876
72 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
The Logitech headset is praised for its excellent noise-canceling microphone, comfort, and clear audio for calls, making it ideal for home offices and open-plan settings. However, some users report durability issues like a scratchy sound after a few months, and the on-ear design can feel heavy or tight during prolonged wear. The auto-mute flip-up mic and plug-and-play simplicity are popular features, though volume control quirks on Mac and occasional microphone glitches are noted.
