Poly Blackwire 5220 USB-C Headset 3.5mm 32 ohm 138g

Poly Blackwire 5220 USB-C headset for all-day calls

The Poly Blackwire 5220 is a wired over-ear headset built for professionals who spend long hours on Microsoft Teams or Zoom. It connects via USB-C with a tethered USB-A adapter and also offers a 3.5 mm jack for mobile devices. The 32 ohm dynamic drivers deliver a 20 Hz to 10 kHz frequency response for clear voice and multimedia playback.

Plug-and-play setup with flexible boom mic

Installation is straightforward: plug the USB-C connector into a PC or use the attached USB-A adapter for older ports, and the headset is recognised instantly without drivers. The flexible noise-cancelling boom microphone positions close to the mouth for clear pickup, while passive isolation from the ear cushions reduces ambient sound. Call controls on the cable let you answer, mute and adjust volume without reaching for the computer.

Check port availability and wearing preference

Verify that your computer has a free USB-C or USB-A port for the primary connection, or a 3.5 mm combo jack if you plan to use it with a smartphone or tablet. The on-ear coupling weighs 138 grams and may feel different from fully circumaural models during extended sessions. Buyers who need active noise cancellation or wireless freedom should consider other options.
