Hi there,
Actually with this pair, the USB plug in is not the deal breaker. its the
lack of any impedance information, and the sensitivity.
Wish I could share a link to some fine articles, there is one on the
headset direct site for example, that explain the sound quality between
analog and digital processing quality.
to be sure, the setup would likely be problematic too, but what makes
these far from suitable for me is the reported sensitivity. Generally
sensitivity should be higher than 100.
Thanks for the suggestion though, if the headset were less technically
risky, they might be a go.

Hi folks and happy thanksgiving if you are celebrating.
Given others might spend far more time in on line meetings than myself,
plus the ideas here tend to be workable, I thought I would toss this
question out here.
There are some firm details for me, rather a few strictly digital, or
wireless headphones actually can make me dizzy. part of my auditory
processing condition.
so, seeking wired headset ideas, with a boom mic, think for a laptop,
just plug in no
pairing required. I understand plantronics now Poly?, are a fine brand,
but realize there may be others.
Even if older, especially since my search is not producing options in a
safe sensitivity range, either too low, as in less than 100, or too high,
well above 110.
I prefer impedance in the 32 range as well.
Any model ideas?
These may not suit you for a number of possible reasons - not least of
which is that they plug into a USB port rather than the headphone
port, and I don't fully understand your requirements. But take a look
if that's not a deal-breaker:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000UXZQ42/ - Logitech H390
I mention them because I bought them recently and I've been very happy
with them. I've had to do a lot of audio chats at work and was tired
of using the microphone in the computer, so I found these. I chose
them because they're well reviewed and surprisingly cheap (currently
$36, although it fluctuates). Some comments from personal experience:
- they "just worked" when plugged into a Mac, and also Linux (Fedora).
- the volume control on the chord works well on Mac - not sure if it
works on Linux although I think it does
- the ear pads sit ON you ears, rather than AROUND them: I find they
start to get a bit uncomfortable around the hour mark (which isn't too
bad, considering)
- given the price, the sound quality is quite good - everyone I've
asked on the other end of my calls says I sound better
- on pretty much every OS, plugging in a headset audio jack
automatically over-rides the built-in speakers ... this wasn't
initially true with the USB headset for either Mac or Linux, although
after some futzing both now do so (just saying: setup may be
problematic)
I hope this helps.
