JLab Play Pro Gaming Wireless Headset, 60+ Hour Bluetooth 5 Playtime 60ms Super-Low Latency for Mobile Gameplay, Retractable Boom Mic, AUX Gaming Cord Compatible with Gaming Consoles

Excellent budget headset
TL/DR – an excellent budget headset for video calling, if you want Bluetooth, over-ear cans and a boom mic.Like a lot of people, I’ve spent a lot more time in Zoom and Slack meetings this last year than I ever wanted to, and needed to find a better headset for my laptop without breaking the bank. I’ve been using an older wired Logitech gaming headset, having moved to a SteelSeries 7 wireless set for actual gaming. Having discovered the joys of wireless with the SteelSeries, I yearned to be free of wires for my video calling, but didn’t want to have to use a wireless dongle. So my “Must Haves” were Bluetooth, comfortable over-ear cups and a boom mic (having had mixed results with boomless, “beam forming” mics).After a month of fruitless searching, simply unable to find anything remotely in my price range with those three features, I stumbled across these. I’ve used JLab buds for ages, and currently use a set of their True Wireless buds (which are incredible value) so decided to give them a go, despite the lack of reviews of this relatively new product. Boy, am I glad I did.This is basically the perfect budget Bluetooth headset for video calls, if you need over-ear cups and a boom mic. They paired first time with both my laptop and Pixel 5 phone, and switching between the two is simple and reliable. After switching to “music” mode (long press up and down volume buttons at the same time) the sound is perfectly adequate for video calls, and casual music listening / YouTube video watching- not brilliant, certainly not audiophile, but as good as you’d expect. The mic works great, no complaints from the other end of calls. They are super comfortable, with decent sound isolation. I can’t yet speak for battery life, as I’ve yet to run out – been using them for 3 days, about 6 hours of calls.Basically I have no complaints, and for the price I feel like I got a good deal.I’ll update this review in a month or two.EDIT – after 4 months, I am still very happy with this headset. I get about 2 weeks on a charge, although I try and remember to throw it on to charge once a week because of the only real irritating weakness of this product, which is that you can’t use it when it’s charging. So you really don’t want to get caught out with a dead battery. Haven’t had a single problem with Bluetooth, no random disconnects or unpairing, no problems connecting, it’s been flawless. It’s one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever worn, even for loooong use. Still don’t recommend them for listening to music, but for Zooming, they are about perfect.

A nice headset with good sound
After a weekend of use playing splitgate I will say upfront this headset is very solid. The sound is nice and clear, its pretty comfortable for the most part though at long period it does wear on your ears but its still otherwise fits my ears and the weight of them are light enough to make you feel like they aren’t there.As for the mic I only used it once but from what I could tell the other people in the game understood me clearly. I will be using my mic more for halo infinite so definitely going to run it though its paces then. The battery I haven’t tested but I would bet it holds the aloted 60+ hours as the companies earbuds are close if not spot on in terms of their advertised battery hoursThe dislikes I have personally are very few. My two biggest gripes are the ear cup size and the bluetooth connection. The ear cup size is pretty decent for me though if i were to give feedback, I would reccomend they make a bit deeper, as my ear could feel the speakers and that would cause slight discomfort for my ears and I am sure many others ears. As for the bluetooth connection, it only works on mobile phones and you have to connect a aux cord to usb c adapter for xbox (along with all the others major systems.) It would have been nice if they were able to have a bluetooth connection for consoles as wellDespite these complaints otherwise the headset is really good set considering the price. They pack alot of decent quality options into a headset well below the 100 dollar mark, it is well worth the purchase if your on a budget
