Kensington Classic EQ USB-C Headset with Mic and Volume Control

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £17.60 ex‑VAT, the Kensington Classic EQ USB‑C headset is the kind of “just make Teams/Zoom work” option that’s genuinely hard to argue with. It’s wired and has basic controls, so there’s less faff than charging a wireless headset, and for call-centre days, training sessions, or office desks where you’re on meetings all day, that convenience matters. The mic is the main thing you’d care about at this price point, and generally you’ll find it’s good enough for typical business calls as long as your room isn’t echoey and you’re not expecting studio-quality audio.

That said, it’s not a headset I’d recommend if you need strong noise isolation or you’re particularly sensitive to comfort during long wear—budget wired headsets can feel a bit “no-frills” after a few hours. Also, double-check compatibility with your specific USB‑C ports and devices (some corporate setups can be picky about audio defaults), especially if you’re rolling it out to different laptops. If you’re stocking spares, equipping meeting rooms, or buying for staff who mostly do voice calls, this is solid value; if you’re doing heavy audio work or want the best comfort and background-noise suppression, you’ll likely end up upgrading.
