Review on 🎧 Plantronics Blackwire 3225 USB-A Mono Headset - On-Ear Wired Headset by Akio Yamato ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

I already wrote a review about the Plantronics BlackWire C225 headset. This model is positioned as older. it has the ability to connect both via USB and via a 3.5 mm jack. But compared to the younger model, some advantages have been lost. The main lost advantage is that in this model the ear cushions are not made of foam rubber, but made of leatherette, which, of course, is worse suited for long-term wearing on the head. However, the disadvantage is small, the headphones themselves are quite light and sit on the head more freely than, for example, the Jabra EVOLVE 40 MS Stereo. The sound quality, according to first impressions, is no different from the Plantronics C225. It's not terrible, but it's not high quality either. You can listen to music, but not suitable for music lovers. This is probably true for all overhead headphones. The cord, first of all, is its USB part, I would advise making it longer by about 0.5 m. Although, these are rather my cockroaches and my computer configuration. The disadvantage is nonsense, I just took a USB extension cable and connected the headset through it. The control unit is small and actively "motes" on the table during operation. In this sense, the Jabra headset box is better. Here the volume is controlled by the + and - buttons, I personally do not like this approach. In addition, the volume buttons are small and are very close to the call and mute buttons, you constantly hit these latter, which is very inconvenient. In general, the model is worthy, looks beautiful, is assembled with high quality and sits comfortably. The disadvantages are minor. I recommend it to anyone who does not need high-quality sound in headphones.

Pros
  • - Beautiful - Qualitatively assembled - Lightweight - Connectors and USB, and jack 3.5 mm - Handbag included
Cons
  • - Sound quality is average - Leatherette ear pads - The cord is short, especially its USB part - The control unit is not very convenient - Not cheap
