Logitech High-Performance USB Headset H540 for Windows and Mac, Skype Certified

Was looking for a lightweight headphone replacement with retractable mike and settled on the Logitech High-performance USB Headset H540. It did not disappoint. The fit is comfortable and can be worn for hours without any discomfort. The ear pieces contour well to the ear and angle slightly inward to add to the comfort. The padding is soft, but also allows the ears to breath (not ear encompassing). Ear height to to head arc/rest adjustments are as easy as a slide click away. Sound quality is excellent for gaming, YouTube, podcasts, music, movies, Discord, Zoom, etc. with crisp dynamic range, however, it could use more Bass support. The flip down mic with mute (lighted indicator an added plus) is equally excellent, clear and concise. The fact that the mic can be flipped up and hidden when not in use is a great design. It is very lightweight and not bulky at all. If you want a single ear with and ear free configuration, the left ear can even be positioned off ear without a problem and still be comfortable. Recommended.

I've had my headset since 2017. Only now in 2025, the mute light stopped working. The headset continues to work like a champ. The headset is pretty light. The boom mic is good. It folds up for storage. Sound quality is good.

I'd call this a really good entry-level headset if you're looking for something straightforward that works well without breaking the bank. The H540 is lightweight and super easy to use - just plug and play, no complicated setup needed. The sound quality is solid for the price point, and the mic picks up voice clearly without issues. I used it regularly for work calls and basic gaming before upgrading to a wireless option (mainly needed more freedom of movement). For the price, you're getting a reliable headset that handles the basics well. It's comfortable enough for long wearing sessions and the USB connection is hassle-free whether you're on Windows or Mac. If you need an inexpensive headset that works well and you don't mind being tethered to your computer, this is a great option. Sure, there are fancier headsets out there, but for basic use - calls, gaming, music - this one definitely delivers good value for money. Bottom line: Perfect starter headset or budget option for anyone who needs something simple and reliable.

looking for BEST USB headset with microphone - the one that work IMMEDIATELY without any troubleshooting and feels comfortable for hours to wear - look no more - i wasted many hours doing research going to store trying headsets , dealing with noise conection problem and other little things on OTHER headphones i try before even ordered Klipsich and few other well known brands to find out that all of them has either connection problem or NO USB connection or microphone dont work when headphones work - (no kidding seriously man!!!) returned all and then bumped to this headset - in store 50$ on Amazon 25$ (that how much i payed) and it work better than 100$ options i bought before - guys seriously i am NOT reseller i was not payed or bribed to write this just i do believe that good product like this should be recognized to promote manufacture that make things right. I personally use it on my XP desctop and XP laptop for Rosetta stone (when using microphone) and listening music and movies - can NOT be better. Microphone is reliable and again - no problem from first time plug it in .... very very happy ...generally happy with Logitech - just dont go with expensive versions or cheap once - with Logitech it is NOT about price - you do have to research and try to find the best but reliability vice i have old mouse and keyboard that i got 5 years ago first wireless once - still works and hold the charge. Anyway buttom line - dont look no more if looking for microphone and comphy headphones with USB connection - no sound jack but USB connection.

I work at a call center and 8 hours a day wearing this headset it does not work it is extremely painful the earpieces are not comfortable and that it doesn't adjust enough that you can make it comfortable. Sound is fine the microphone works fine everything is fine except that it it just isn't comfortable if you have to wear it for work

I bought this for work. The headphones are *really* comfortable. I do wear glasses, so around the 2 hour mark, i have to take the headphones off and readjust. I start to feel a dull ache where my glasses meet the headphones on the side of my head. The volume adjust and the mute on the right side are great features. My favorite feature, though, is the boom mic. It tucks between the earphone and "headband" part perfectly. It looks well protected in its place, and I can lay the headphones perfectly flat. It's also great that the mic is not obnoxiously or noticeably in front of my mouth when using it. One review I read said that you can hear yourself in the headphones. That happened to me the first time (30 minutes) I used it. Since then, I've worked 17 hours and with fast and slow internet connects (other person, not me). I haven't heard myself in a delayed loop back since that first time. Now, it's crystal clear. I have no idea what made it loop back at first. The cord is a little stiff- the bends from storing it during shipping have not straightened out yet. It hasn't gotten in my way, though. I hate Windows 10. But it's on my desktop...and the headohones work with all the applications. (Off - topic - don't be fooled by Skype Preview or whatever it is on Windows 10. It's completely worthless. Stick with traditional Skype so that you can use all the features. Chances are good that tbe person in the other side of the camera has access to traditional Skype anyway.)

Sadly, my previous logitech headset, the H530, stopped functioning. I really liked that headset. Unfortunately, this new version of the headset falls far, far short of the H530. Whats wrong with the headset: - Thick, stiff cable that rubs up against everything. Since the cable is attached to the side with the microphone, every little movement or vibration is transmitted to the microphone. You must be absolutely still when you talk or the other end will hear thump, thump, thump. - Mute and volume controls transmit a loud thunk into the microphone when they are pressed. The previous model had the switches and cable attached to the opposite side of the microphone for good reason. - The microphone does a poor job of filtering out background noises like computer fans. - Voices are not dynamically equalized very well. The previous model had a switch for selecting voice mode. This one does not and any dynamic equalization that it might claim to do simply doesnt work well. Voice comm has way too much base for clarity and it can be hard to pick out the sound of voices when there is background interference on the other end. Its fatiguing after a while. - The sideband feature( transmits a small portion of what say back into the speakers ) must have a delay or something because the sound of my own voice feels very disorientating. This is a good feature to have on a headset that snugly fits the ears because your brain expects to hear what you are saying. But if your voice is delayed too much or the tone is altered too much due to bad equalization the result sounds very wrong. I normally love Logitech products. I have purchased many over the years because their product designers put *thought* into their designs. How they could have gone so far backwards from the H530 to the H540 is mind boggling and I hope its not the beginning of a new trend in how Logitech approaches products. This is a terrible voice communication headset and I would strongly advise anyone reading this to look elsewhere. I ended up purchasing a Plantronics blackwire headset and I am very happy I did so.

I rated this product as 5 stars. That being said, it's not without its flaws, but I don't believe that my minor complaints deserve it to be knocked down by a full star. If I could, I'd give it 4.5, but I can't, so 5 it gets. Pros- Beautiful sound quality. Better than you'd expect. Not beats, of course, but significantly better than a Sony pair that I have. Comfortable. The ear pads are softer and lighter than most headphones, which is a real plus for extended wear. The light that tells you if the mic is muted. Very handy for online gaming. The pictures don't show it, but the mic rotates all the way behind the headband for storage. Cons- The USB cable is excessively thick, and positioned on the right side, which is inconvenient for me since I'm right handed. They don't fold, and the cable doesn't detach from the main headphones, making it a hassle to pack. The volume up and down buttons are a little hard to distinguish from each other by touch alone The microphone is a little quieter than I would like, but it's not an issue at all, just a minor gripe easily fixed by increasing the input volume for whatever program you happen to be using it with. I use these mainly for gaming and listening to music. They are excellent. You might want to consider getting a female USB to male audio jack adapter if you want to use these with your phone.
