Delton 35X

The Delton 35X has a genuinely great microphone for the price, landing in the 90th percentile in our database, and the 30-hour battery life with a charging dock is a nice touch. But comfort is abysmal at the 3rd percentile, sound quality for music is weak, and user sentiment is in the 5th percentile with recurring complaints about mic failures and audio delay. At $78 in the US it's a decent budget work headset, but the EUR 182 to EUR 213 European pricing makes it hard to recommend over the JBL Tune 670NC or Sony ULT WEAR.

Let's talk about what this thing does well, because there are some genuine bright spots. The microphone is the star of the show here. A 90th percentile ranking means it's better than the vast majority of headsets in our database when it comes to capturing your voice clearly. The environmental noise cancellation on the mic side is rated at the 80th percentile, so background chatter, keyboard clacking, and the general hum of an open office should get filtered out reasonably well. For the person on the other end of your call, you'll sound better than you would on most budget headsets.

Battery life is another solid point. 30 hours of talk time on a single charge is well above average, landing in the 76th percentile. The 2-hour charge time is fine, and the included charging dock is a nice touch that most competitors at this price don't offer. The 200-hour standby time means you can leave it on your desk for a week and it'll still have juice when you grab it. Connectivity is also strong at the 83rd percentile, with Bluetooth 5.0, multipoint pairing, and the USB dongle all working together to make setup painless. The sound quality for music, though, is a different story. A 20th percentile ranking means this is not a headset you'll want to use for enjoying your favorite albums. It's tuned for voice, not bass or detail.

The Delton 35X's biggest competition comes from the JBL Tune 670NC and the Sony ULT WEAR. The JBL is a more well-rounded headset with better sound quality and comfort, though its mic isn't as strong as the Delton's. If you're mostly listening to music and taking occasional calls, the JBL is the better pick. The Sony ULT WEAR is in a different league entirely when it comes to audio quality and build, but you'll pay more for it. The Delton's advantage is that boom mic. For pure call quality, it punches above its weight.

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 and Beyerdynamic Aventho are also in our comparison set, but they're aimed at a different buyer. Those are premium headphones that happen to have mics, while the Delton is a work headset that happens to play music. If you're a remote worker who lives on video calls and wants a dedicated headset with a proper boom mic, the Delton makes sense. If you want one device for everything, the Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic are better, but they cost significantly more. The TOZO HT3 is another budget option worth considering. It's cheaper than the Delton in most markets and offers better comfort, though the mic isn't as good.

Pricing on the Delton 35X is all over the map depending on where you live. In the US, you can grab it for $78, which feels about right for what you're getting. In Canada it's CAD 121, and in the UK it's GBP 99. The European pricing is where things get weird. Across the four EU listings we track, prices range from EUR 182 to EUR 213. That's a EUR 31 spread for the exact same headset, which is a significant chunk of change. If you're in Europe and set on this model, shop around. The lowest price we're seeing is EUR 182, and there's no reason to pay EUR 213 for it.

At the US price of $78, the value proposition is decent if you prioritize mic quality and battery life. You're getting a headset with a top-tier microphone and a charging dock for under eighty bucks. That's not bad. But at the European prices, you're suddenly competing with much better options. The Sony ULT WEAR and JBL Tune 670NC both offer superior sound quality and comfort, and they're not that much more expensive in most markets. The Delton 35X makes sense as a budget work headset in the US, but the EU pricing pushes it into territory where it's harder to justify.

The Delton 35X is one of those products that looks great on paper and then makes you wonder what happened when you actually put it on. It's a Bluetooth headset aimed squarely at office workers and remote employees who spend their days bouncing between Zoom calls, Teams meetings, and the occasional Spotify session. The pitch is simple: a noise cancelling boom mic, a charging dock, a USB dongle for easy pairing, and 30 hours of battery life. On the surface, that's a compelling package for under a hundred bucks in the US.

But here's the thing. Our database puts this headset's microphone quality in the 90th percentile, which is genuinely impressive for the price. The connectivity is also strong, landing in the 83rd percentile. Those are the two things that matter most for a work headset, and Delton nailed them. The problem is everything else. Comfort sits in the 3rd percentile, which is one of the worst scores we've seen. User sentiment is in the 5th percentile. Sound quality is in the 20th. So you've got a headset that excels at the technical side of calls but may physically hurt to wear and has a track record of reliability complaints.

Who is this for? Honestly, someone who needs a cheap headset for occasional calls and doesn't mind a bit of a gamble on longevity. If you're on back-to-back video meetings all day, the comfort score alone should give you pause. But if you need something that pairs easily with your work laptop and makes your voice sound clear on the other end, the 35X does deliver where it counts. Just don't expect it to feel premium.

If you're someone who wears a headset for 6 to 8 hours a day, skip the Delton 35X. The comfort score in the 3rd percentile is a dealbreaker for all-day use, and at 530g, it's going to weigh on your ears. Look at the JBL Tune 670NC or the Sony ULT WEAR instead. Both are lighter and far more comfortable for extended wear.

You should also skip this if you want a headset for music or multimedia. The sound quality is in the 20th percentile, which means it's tuned for voice and not much else. If you want something that sounds good for both calls and music, the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 is a much better choice, though it costs more. And if you're in Europe, the EUR 182 to EUR 213 pricing makes the Delton hard to justify when better options are available for similar money.

If you're in the US and need a dedicated work headset for calls, the Delton 35X is worth a look at $78. The microphone is genuinely excellent for the price, the battery life is strong, and the charging dock is a nice bonus. Just be aware that you're making trade-offs. The comfort is rough, the sound quality for music is weak, and there are enough reports of units dying after months of use that you should factor in some risk. If you can live with those caveats, the call quality alone might make it worth it.

For everyone else, especially those in Europe where the price jumps to EUR 182 or more, I'd steer you toward the JBL Tune 670NC or the Sony ULT WEAR. They're better all-around headsets with superior comfort and sound, and they'll serve you better if you want to use them for anything beyond work calls. The Delton 35X is a specialist. It does one thing really well, but it asks a lot of you in return.
