Kensington Classic EQ USB-C Headset with Mic and Volume

The Kensington Classic EQ USB-C Headset is a comfortable, wired USB-C headset with a rotatable mic, in-line volume and mute controls, and soft padded ear cushions for clear calls and long-wear comfort.

Designed for students, teachers, remote workers and anyone using modern USB-C devices, this headset combines simple controls with durable construction.

How does this headset improve voice clarity during calls?

The Classic EQ uses a noise-reducing microphone design and passive noise-cancelling earpads to lower background sounds so voices are easier to understand. The mic can be positioned to capture speech while rejecting ambient noise, helping participants focus on the speaker.

• Rotatable boom mic with 270° adjustment for left- or right-side use.
• Passive noise-cancelling earpads that block external distractions.
• In-line mute for quick privacy during calls.
• Safe listening limit to prevent excessively loud volumes.

Will this headset work with my laptop, tablet, or phone?

The Kensington Classic EQ is compatible with any device that supports USB-C audio, including Windows and macOS computers, iPadOS and iOS devices, many Android phones and tablets, and Chromebooks. No separate adapter is required for USB-C ports that natively support audio over USB-C.
