Cyber Acoustics 3.5mm Stereo Headset (AC-5002) – Durable, Crisp, and Clear Communication in Classrooms and at Home

I’ve had this Cyber Acoustics AC-5002 headset since 2023, and it’s still working perfectly! It does an excellent job canceling the noise around me, so I can focus whether I’m in a busy room or just trying to relax. When I’m listening to music, the sound is smooth and enjoyable, and the bass sounds really nice and full — better than I expected. The headset feels durable and comfortable, even during long use, and the audio stays clear whether I’m listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls. What other customers should know: Great noise isolation for the price Clear, smooth sound quality Nice, rich bass Comfortable to wear for long periods Still working strong after years of use Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would recommend it if you’re looking for a solid, everyday headset!

I bought these for work as I have MS Teams meetings every day and they work great. For *MY* work computer though, I had to buy an adapter cord that would split the headphones and microphone into two separate inputs as headphones and microphone are treated differently on that specific computer. No big deal, it was about $15 here on Amazon. The headset plugs into that adapter cord, and then the two adapter plugs into the computer, one for microphone and one for headphones. As to the sound/mic quality, I've received feedback (no pun intended) from my co-workers that I sound very clear and there is no static or other feedback when we are having a call (unlike my previous headset that was complete junk, also bought here on Amazon in January). A good headset is a must these days of constant teleworking and conference calls. They have the what I call "Princess Leia" earmuff style design, but they don't squeeze my head to death, and I don't have to remove my earrings like I did with my old set. I also wear glasses, and this set doesn't squeeze my ears to make them hurt as the back of my ears would press into my glasses temples and cause pain after about 10 minutes of wear. (I hope that makes sense.) In simple terms, they're comfortable. :) Good value too, as Amazon's price was half that of the manufacturer's.

These are excellent headphones, that's true. And I was looking for something at a lower price just to use with my flip-phone. I don't use the phone much, but when I do use it, I'm talking for fairly long periods at a time. I don't like having to hold the phone while I'm talking. I don't like to set it down somewhere, then inadvertently walk away and pull the phone off the counter or something. I wanted a headset with a mic, that works with today's dual-purpose headphone jacks. This was my choice. And it works. My only gripe, which will lead to my eventually replacing it, is the padded earpieces don't allow any air circulation. These are acceptable, certainly. They do reduce external noise quite well. But I think I'd rather have something a little more lightweight, with either foam ear covering or perhaps just 1 earpiece. I do want over-the-head, and I do want a microphone. I see there are sets like that, a little more expensive. But I think for my purposes it would be more suitable. These are marketed as a lower price point, especially for classrooms and younger students. I don't really need the inline volume control, but it's not a problem having it. I think I'm more in the category of a customer service or support person who's on the phone regularly. A more typical headset for that would be the single earpiece, the head band, and a lightweight mic. I just thought I could get away with a lower price, and indeed, as I've learned over my lifetime: You get what you pay for. Very well made, and certainly a high-quality frequency response! In fact, I used these to do audio "emails," that included bits of music. I was somewhat shocked at how good the music reproduction was done! Not quite recording studio level, but absolutely passable! During recordings, the microphone did a very decent job, too! I recorded through Audacity, and then edited using these same earphones. I'm impressed! But I bought them to talk on the phone for an hour or two at a time. I end up with a bit of pressure irritation on the ears, and a "heated" sensation from lack of air circulation. Verdict: They work, they're inexpensive, they have great sound quality, but... they bug me. :-)

This is a great headphone for the price. Everyone in my meetings can hear me clearly and the really help dampen the noise around me. They are comfortable to wear and the cord was long than expected which was great.

Great cheap headphones for work.

I needed a headset with a microphone for my online graduate school program. I purchased these because the reviews were mostly positive and I liked the price. First, the good: - Sound quality is nice - Noise cancelling (not the best, but still good at cancelling exterior noise) I'm not sure about the microphone quality. I haven't heard myself yet, but everyone in my online courses has been able to understand me. Now, the bad: - TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE! I saw reviews that said these weren't comfortable, but I assumed I would be okay since my head is a bit smaller than average. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. I've worn these for 16 hours over the past 2 days and my ears are so sore and I have a horrible headache. These are incredibly tight and there's no way to adjust them. I'm honestly not sure what makes them so uncomfortable, all I know is that my head and ears hurt horribly after wearing for about 5 minutes. I will likely continue to use these until I'm able to purchase a more comfortable set, so if these loosen and become more comfortable, I will update this review. - Headset is small. These don't fit my ears very well and do not sit well on my ears and align with the speaker parts of the headset. Again, there's no way to adjust these, and I have a smaller-than-average sized head. I feel like these may be better suited for children. Overall, these are good if you need a headset with a mic and don't want to spend too much for a nicer set or if you won't be wearing the headset for long periods at a time. But if you'll be on hours-long zoom calls or anything similar, I would suggest that you continue searching.

The product is worth the money for it . Easy to use , the hearing on it is good . Mic quality is good comfortable fit on your head for a good long time

This Cyber Acoustic Noise Reducing headset arrived quickly and undamaged, seemed to be in good working order, was dead-easy to install and more or less 'worked' for my wife for almost two weeks, but after daily use over that time, eventually what seemed to be a small, intermittent and believed to be unimportant glitch turned into a real problem and it had to be replaced. It was very weird -- she had no problems initially and we both thought the set was quite nice and a good bargain, especially considering its low cost and ease of installation. She could hear her co-workers and clients very clearly and reliably and everyone seemed able to hear her. As the days went on however, first one user then another began to notice that on occasion, her voice (possibly only on some system(s), in some application(s) and/or some situations) was all but inaudible. My wife would raise the mike volume and go on with the rest of her day. Unfortunately, it still would happen again occasionally, and while trying to come up with a dependable volume level on the mike, one that worked for everyone else in all applications and situations, it turned out to be an insurmountable problem with no discernable cause, much less a possible fix. Even turning up the mike to a volume level of 100 (the maximum setting) wasn't adequate to maintain loud-enough, trouble-free, clearly audible communication. Nobody could find anything wrong, but it couldn't be counted on to work when it had to, whatever the reason. We tried to fix it -- believe me, we tried! Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, first she and her fellow workers couldn't find a problem, much less a fix; then she tried dedicated professional help -- neither could the company's excellent, well above-average, never-before-stumped help-desk fix it; and finally, during the whole episode, the combined 70+ years of professional experience in the field compiled by my wife and I together (my wife worked as a systems technician while attending college¹ and has worked as a production control engineer for several organizations since, and I've been an avid computer hobbyist (since before the days of the Sinclair ZX-81), computer operator, systems technician (where my wife and I met!), programmer, software technician, software engineer, DP Manager and MIS Director)... all our combined experience was for nought. By now though, since ALL of the other equipment in use worked with all the other users, all of the time in every other situation, it was only natural that the finger of blame point squarely at the 'new' headset we'd installed scant weeks before. It had to go. As it turned out, the rest was simplicity itself. Taking advantage of 24hr Amazon online shopping and Prime overnight shipping, we located and purchased a slightly higher priced but still quite inexpensive noise-control headset from Logitech and went to bed. It arrived the following day, and before her shift started the next evening, removed and replaced the Cyber Acoustics set, and that was that. Everyone since has been totally pleased by its performance and now all is right with the... well, maybe I won't go that far. The new one worked very well, now even longer than we thought the Cyber Acoustics did. :-) While writing the review, I've had an opportunity to think about the whole situation sort of removed a bit from the whole shebang, which makes me think it's about time now to try the one thing I stupidly forgot about completely before replacing the 'defective' unit: contact the seller. Better late than never, I suppose. Wish me luck!
