If you want an over-ear headset with a directional noise-canceling microphone, this the lowest price point for one. Yes, the lack of bluetooth makes it a bit of a niche product, suitable only for WFH and PC gaming, but it it is a great fit for those situations. It provides noise isolation, no lag, does not pick up ambient sounds and has much greater distance than BT.

Got one last time. Good sound and works great. Didn't realize it wasn't bluetooth or normal wireless. It uses a USB dongle to connect.
For gaming headsets usb dongle is desirable due latency issues with BT.
I bought this a few months ago for $40 and have been loving it for WFH meetings. I can walk around the house and unmute from a button on the headset if needed. No complaints about sound quality either

Cable length: 1.2 m.
You must be living in a very small house. LOL.
Will this fit a L/XL head? I've been blessed with an above average noggin to hold my above average brain, so most headsets don't fit. Any feedback would be appreciated!
Wish I had seen the wireless one and hoping more might come up. I WFH majority of the time and hate connecting/disconnecting my headset, so this would be pretty ideal for being on calls all day.
I have the wireless one. Its an ok headset, but a major complaint is it gets extremely hot, more than any other headphone I have. Even compared to other closed-back headphones, I sweat a lot more than in these.
When used. our microwave oven will cause interference with BT headphones/headsets, making calls difficult if not impossible. And with the babysitter watching our kid at our home every day, that microwave gets a lot of use.
I use a JBL wired gaming headset to take most calls, works great. And moving the boom mix up effectively mutes your voice, so it's really convenient to use.
Yes, Nintendo Switch worked with the JBL Free WFH Wireless. I didn't test the mic, or do any extensive testing, just confirmed that game audio and system sounds are working. It worked both plugging the receiver into the USB port on the dock, as well on the Switch tablet's USB-C port with a USB-C to A adapter.
Unfortunately looks like the deal on the wireless is over though.
"Limited quantity" back in stock. Just picked up the wireless one for my WFH days. I have some JBL 660NC (that I got as a gift) and they sound good enough for their MRSP, so I would hope these sound similar enough. I'm just tired of short wires in using my Xbox headset.
For those of you who bought or already own the wireless version, I've noticed that even when I turn off the headset, my laptop is still "feeding" the audio to that device, even though I have turned it off. Because of that, I can't get audio to play through the speakers like I normally would. Is there a fix around that or any suggestions to ensure that turning off the headset will then disconnect from the device?

HP Gaming Headset [ebay.com]
Has anyone tried HP headsets? Is the sound quality and durability on par with other known brands.
The HP comes with 50mm drivers versus the 40mm on the JBL.
