I have had only excellent results using his headset for MS Teams meetings nearly every day. To set it up, I plug in into my Windows 10/11 laptop or Pixel smarphone USB-C port - that's it. No apps, no Bluetooth, no batteries, no recharging, no settings. The USB plug has a red "mute" light on it, and I have not had a "forgot to take myself off of mute" moment since I began using these. They passively reduce ambient sound levels by approximately "half," which is adequate for working in a generally quite environment but not a replacement for active noise cancellation. They also sound excellent for music with surprisingly hefty bass capabilities. Note, however, that in order to reduce music "leakage" to nearby colleagues, the high frequencies are attenuated a bit, and the equalizer app in your computer/phone will probably not work on the digital signal. Another caveat: These mount on the surface of your ears and are intended for use while sitting at a desk; I would not recommend them when moving - they are likely to fall off. I appreciate that the surfaces that press on your ears are easy to keep clean, but they are not luxurious. Although these will not replace your favorite music headphones, they are well-designed for the needs of office and remote (home office) workers who participate in frequent MS Teams meetings.
