Cyber Acoustics AC-5008A USB-A Headset with in-Line Volume Control

I ordered these headphones because the audio jack in my work laptop stopped working, but the USB plugs are still good. Since we can’t use WiFi on work laptops, I had to get something wired. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had never used USB headphones before, so these are a good start. These are not what I would consider high quality headphones, but they manage to meet or exceed all of my expectations for what I need them to do. I can hear the audio very well, and the microphone picks up my voice without having to change my speaking style. I did not expect them to be noise canceling (and they aren’t), but they get the job done. The microphone mute switch on the cord is handy for turning the mic on and off when speaking or not. The volume control on the same piece as the mute switch is good for other speakers who don’t understand just how close or far they should be from their own microphone. I would definitely recommend these headphones.

I bought this to replace a Koss headset that is no longer available. I participate in online gaming and I use discord while playing online. This headset is as good as and maybe even better than many others I've paid two or three times as much for. *They are light weight: I do not like so many gaming headsets because they are super heavy and the tension in the headband gives me a nasty headache. *They are not hot to wear: Many gaming headsets are just plain uncomfortable because they're hot to wear. *The sound is terrific--I can hear every sound in SMITE arena, 7 Days and WoW--a lot of them I never knew I was missing because I just couldn't hear them at all. *The folks on Discord sound so clear, it's like having them sitting right next to me. Sometimes, maybe a little too close... *The folks on Discord say I sound equally clear to them, so the mic is doing a good job with pick-up *They do muffle most sounds around me (the vacuum cleaner did make it through over the game sounds) so I am not distracted while playing or while in a meeting for work. *They do not have enhanced bass--and I think this is a great feature! The bass range can make understanding the human voice through a headset difficult, so I'm very glad to be without bass boost. *I bought a spare set the next day because I like the sound/weight/functionality so well, but I also know that USB cords have a finite life span, especially when one raises puppies. Great headset for the price, great headset in general!!

Good product. delivered on time. Lightweight and comfortable to wear. Repeated purchase. I am still using my original set purchased a few years ago in the office for online meeting.

I can't put this on straight up and down on my head, as it's too small, but if i tilt it forward, sitting near my hairline, it fits sufficiently. otherwise, sound quality seems good. it's also a little hot on the ears.

I work at home part time and in an office part time. I have two Cyber Acoustic headsets that I use, one for each office. The sound quality is great. No feedback or interference that is typically heard when using a laptop speaker and microphone. This headset is a great deal and well made for the cost.

I purchased this headset because the old USB one I had was falling apart and I play games online with some family members on my Nintendo Switch. This worked ok for voice chat although the mute button seems to create some odd noise on their end... I switch it to Mute and the game shows me still talking. At least one person has also reported a constant buzzing sound when I'm unmuted. It annoyed them so much that I just stopped using the headset altogether. I guess maybe the "classroom" in the title should have been a hint, but these are obviously made for kid-sized heads. They're small and very tight. It gets painful after a while, moreso if you are wearing earrings. I don't hear big hoopy earrings or anything, just basic studs, but the padding on these headphones is so miniscule that the speaker pods are pressed into my ears with enough force to jam the backs of my earrings into my neck. It just hurts. Trying to adjust them only made the circle shape slightly bigger which meant the band didn't fit on my head and it'd just slip off. But even at this "loose" setting the ear pods were still pressing into my ears with enough force to keep them on. The boom mic is not 'adjustable' as they stated. Yeah, you can spin it up or down, but you can't adjust the angle with which it protrudes from the headset. So the adjustment options I had were pressed into my cheek, hitting my jawbone, rubbing my collar or pressed into my temple. Again, these are obviously made for smaller heads and should be marketed for children, not "office" or "work from home" people. I'm looking for a better option that will allow me to play without having to constantly adjust to keep blood flow to my ears.

These CA headphones are a super solid purchase at this price point. If you're looking for a straightforward, basic headset you cannot do better than these. They are simple and they are sturdy, reliable, provide clear sound in both directions. The ear cushioning is comfortable and creates substantial noise isolation - we use these in a fairly crowded open-office environment and find that they allow people to be on calls at the same time right near each other without causing distraction. One note is that they come in both 3.5mm plug and USB plug so make sure you order the right ones. These are now my go-to when anyone in my office needs a new headset.

I purchased USB type headphone so posting the review here. Pros 1. USB support so can work for any computer. 2. 3.5 mm jack of other headphones gets loose after repeated use so those headphones may not detect in conputer after few months of usage, so this USB headphone was best choice for me. 3. Good noise cancellation. 4. In built mic on/off control, but wont show on MS Teams / Zoom app that its mute or not so you've to see the mute button physically to check whether you're on me or not. 5. Built-in volume control - superb, was required! 6. Longer cord length 7. Anti-tangle cord - doesn't tangle up easily amd you can straighten the cord up quick. 8. Adjustable headphones - carefully pull ear cups and it'll extend ; thus fit for almost all heads. I've seen reviews saying it cannot be extended, its wrong, they dont know how to extend. Please read the instruction booklet carefully. Cons: 1. Poor packaging ; I mean for about 1800₹ a decent brand packing should've been provided, but was packed only in a zip-lock cover and shipped in a cardboard outer shipping pack. It could've been damaged in transit but amazon did a good job to take care that doesn't happen. No other cons. Other than that am perfectly happy with the product! 👍 😊

Le cuffie sono estremamente confortevoli, e danno la sensazione di essere un prodotto di più che buona fattura (quelle che avevo prima erano troppo leggere e sembravano fragili). L’isolamento dai suoni esterni (ottimo) garantisce un’ottima esperienza in cuffia e l’audio è di più che buona fedeltà. Meglio di quello che avevo prima il microfono rigido, per la misura del mio viso è della giusta lunghezza. Più che buona la regolabilità del cerchietto. Infine sono molto soddisfatta della scelta dell’USB al posto del jack: confido che durerà di più dell’altra e mi dà l’idea di essere responsabile della migliore qualità del suono. Molto utile la regolazione lungo il cavo, che è della giusta lunghezza. Cuffia utilizzata per le riunioni in Teams (Meet, Zoom e quant’altro) con un portatile ThinkPad Lenovo. Sono molto soddisfatta.

Muy buen producto, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Dicen que la diadema es chica pero en realidad se hace grande jalandola hacia arriba, quizá esas personas no supieron cómo hacerlo.

They come with great voice and sound, though if you have sensitive ears like I do, they are very hard on them with extended use.

Es tut was es soll. Klang und Sprachqualität ist sehr gut. Passform ist auch ausreichend gut.
