Review: "Hongzhi USB Headset"


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

I needed an emergency set of headphones and microphone for an online interview and my previous set decided to quit on me, just when I needed them the most.

I couldn't afford much at the time and they had to be on Prime so that I would get them in time and be able to test them out so that I wasn't messing around with technical things that I don't have the first clue about on the morning of the interview - I just wanted a cheap pair of headphones with a microphone that I could just plug in to the USB port of my laptop and they would work straight away.

I paid £11.99 for these and got them the next day, crossed my fingers, plugged them into the USB port, a progress bar appeared for a few seconds, I loaded up the Windows control panel and tested the microphone, adjusted the volume and then tried to open up my favourite radio station online, adjusted the volume controller on the wire et voila - all set and ready to go in under 15 minutes.

They aren't the most comfortable ear pieces in the world, but that's a sacrifice I was willing to make for the price.

If, like me, you need a cheap set of headphones that are good to go immediately, then you really can't go wrong with these.
