Logitech H570e 981-001429

The Logitech H570e is a wired USB-C headset built for Microsoft Teams calls. Its noise-canceling mic is among the best we've tested at this price, and the 113-gram design is comfortable for all-day use. Sound quality and build are average, but for around $40 USD, it's a focused work tool that gets the important stuff right.

The mic is the star here. In our database, the H570e's microphone lands in the 96th percentile, which puts it among the absolute best right now for call clarity. The dual noise-canceling mics do real work, cutting background chatter and keyboard clatter so your voice comes through clean. For a $40 headset, that's a standout result. If you spend your day on calls, this is the spec that matters most, and Logitech nailed it.

Comfort is also well above average, sitting in the 88th percentile. The 113-gram weight is barely noticeable, and the leatherette ear pads plus padded headband make long sessions tolerable. Sound quality is more middle of the pack, around the 55th percentile. The 30mm driver handles speech clearly, but music sounds flat and unexciting. ANC is decent for a wired office headset, but it's passive isolation plus mic noise cancellation, not the kind of active noise canceling you'd get from a $300 travel headphone. Connectivity is average too, since USB-C is the only option and there's no wireless fallback.

Stacked against the Sony ULT WEAR WHULT900N/B, the H570e looks like a specialist. The Sony costs significantly more and delivers far better sound, real ANC, and wireless freedom. But the Logitech's mic quality is in a different league for voice calls, and the wired connection means zero latency and zero charging. If your day is meetings, the H570e wins on focus. If you want one headphone for work and play, the Sony is the better all-rounder.

The JBL Tune 670NC and TOZO HT3 are both wireless budget options with better sound and more features, but their mics don't come close to the H570e's call clarity. The Audio-Technica ATH-S300BT offers better build quality and audio, but again, it's wireless and pricier. The Truefree HF-10 is a different beast entirely, aimed at casual listening rather than office calls. For pure Teams and Zoom duty, none of these competitors beat the H570e where it counts, though all of them are more fun after work.

At around $40 USD, the H570e is priced like a disposable office accessory but performs better than that in the areas that count for calls. The mic alone justifies the cost if you're on Teams all day. Compared to wireless options like the Sony ULT WEAR or JBL Tune 670NC, you're giving up Bluetooth, better sound, and stronger ANC, but you're also spending a fraction of the money. For a company buying headsets in bulk or a remote worker who just needs something reliable, the value is solid. Just don't expect it to double as your weekend listening headphones.

The Logitech H570e is a wired USB headset built for one thing: getting through a workday full of Microsoft Teams calls without wanting to throw it across the room. It sits in the budget office headset bracket, usually around $40 USD, and skips Bluetooth entirely in favor of a USB-C connection that just works when you plug it in. No pairing menus, no battery anxiety, no dongle to lose. That simplicity is the whole pitch.

People searching for a reliable wired headset for Teams meetings will find the H570e checks the obvious boxes. It's certified for Microsoft Teams, has a dedicated Teams button on the inline controller, and includes dual noise-canceling mics so your coworkers don't hear your neighbor's leaf blower. At 113 grams, it's also one of the lighter headsets we've tested, which matters more than you'd think by hour three of back-to-back calls.

But this is a focused tool, not a do-everything gadget. The 30mm driver is fine for voice and the occasional video, but nobody is buying this for music. And while the mic quality is genuinely excellent for the price, the build feels more functional than premium. If you want a headset that disappears into your workflow and doesn't demand attention, this one gets close.

Skip the H570e if you want a headset for music, gaming, or travel. The 30mm driver sounds flat for anything beyond voice, and the wired USB-C connection means you're stuck at a desk. If you need Bluetooth for your phone or want real active noise canceling for a noisy commute, look at the Sony ULT WEAR or JBL Tune 670NC instead. Also skip it if build quality matters to you, the plastic feels budget-tier and the social proof is thin, so long-term durability is a question mark.

Should you buy the Logitech H570e? If you need a dependable wired headset for Microsoft Teams calls and you don't want to spend more than $50, yes. The mic quality is genuinely impressive for the price, comfort is better than most budget headsets, and the plug-and-play USB-C setup means IT departments won't get support tickets about pairing issues. It's a work tool that does its job quietly and well.

But if you want one device for calls, music, and maybe some travel, this isn't it. The sound is average, the build feels cheap in places, and the lack of Bluetooth limits where you can use it. The H570e is a great office headset, not a great headphone. Know which one you're buying.
