Logitech Wired Headset with Noise-Cancelling Mic (UC version)

The Logitech Zone Wired Headset – UC version (model 981-000875) is a professional-grade, wired USB headset engineered for business communication in noisy, open-office environments. It combines excellent audio quality with advanced dual-microphone noise cancellation, comfort for all-day use, and seamless integration with unified communications (UC) platforms.

Key Features

• Noise-Cancelling Dual Microphones

  • Flip-to-mute boom: simply raise the mic boom to mute instantly.

• Premium Audio Quality

  • 40 mm audio drivers deliver full-bodied sound with rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs.

  • Frequency response for music is approximately 20 Hz–16 kHz.

• Comfort and Build

  • Weighs ~211 g, making it lightweight and suitable for extended wear.

  • Headband uses Teflon-coated stainless steel and has a silicone cushion for comfort.

  • Memory-foam ear pads with protein leatherette offer passive noise isolation (up to ~12 dB).

  • Mic boom rotates 270°, so you can wear on either ear.

• Easy Connectivity & Controls

  • Uses USB-C for a reliable, plug-and-play connection; includes a USB-A adapter for compatibility.

  • Tangle-resistant braided 190 cm cable.

  • In-line controls let you adjust volume, mute/unmute, answer or end calls, and play/pause music.

• Unified Communications (UC) Certified

  • Certified for major UC platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and more.

  • Designed to work seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS.

• Customisation via Logi Tune

  • Use the Logi Tune desktop app to adjust EQ settings, mic gain, sidetone, and to update firmware.

  • The app also includes mic/speaker test tools and voice prompts for mute status.

• Durability & Portability

  • Built to withstand daily use with a sturdy headband, durable braided cable, and a lightweight chassis.

  • Comes with a travel bag for easy storage and transport.

Pros & Use Cases

Pros:

• Excellent voice clarity even in noisy environments thanks to the dual mic noise cancellation.

• Great sound quality—not just for calls but also for music.

• Very comfortable for long workdays.

• Reliable wired connection (USB) with stable audio.

• Plug-and-play setup and broad UC compatibility.

Ideal Use Cases:

• Remote or hybrid work: great for Teams/Zoom calls.

• Open offices: suppresses background distractions.

• Professional environments: customer service, help desks, sales.

• Situations needing clear two-way audio: webinars, video conferencing, online training.

Considerations / Potential Drawbacks

• Wired only: no Bluetooth or wireless freedom. As noted by reviewers, this limits portability and tethering flexibility.

• Passive noise isolation—not active noise cancellation on the ear cups, so external ambient sound may still leak in.

• Limited isolation in very loud environments: some users report that noise isolation isn’t very strong for very low-frequency background noise.

• Requires a USB-C (or USB-A via adapter) port—may not work with devices lacking these.
