Logitech H540 USB-A Headset with Noise Cancelling Mic, Black – Model No: 981-000480

Picture a headset that goes a step beyond simply delivering sound — one that actively tunes the audio for you, tells you at a glance whether you’re muted, and stays genuinely comfortable through hours of calls, music, or gaming. That’s exactly what the Logitech H540 USB-A Headset with Noise Cancelling Mic, Black (981-000480) brings to the table. It builds on the reliability of Logitech’s standard USB headsets with a few thoughtful extras that make a real difference in daily use.

Laser-Tuned Drivers With a Built-In Equalizer

The H540 uses laser-tuned drivers paired with a built-in equalizer to minimize distortion, delivering clearer calls, richer music, and more lifelike movie audio. Consequently, whether you’re on a work call or watching a film during downtime, the sound stays genuinely full and accurate rather than flat or distorted.

A Noise-Canceling Mic That Tucks Away When Not Needed

The right-sided microphone can be conveniently positioned for optimal voice capture, minimizing unwanted background noise for clearer conversations. When you’re finished with a call, the discreet boom tucks neatly inside the headband and out of the way, keeping the headset streamlined rather than leaving a microphone dangling awkwardly.

On-Ear Controls With a Mute Indicator Light

Simple on-ear controls located on the right ear cup let you adjust volume or mute your calls instantly. A genuinely useful touch here is the easy-to-see mute indicator light on the headset cord, confirming your mute status at a glance so you never accidentally talk with your mic muted — or worse, forget it’s live.

Ultra-Comfortable, Adjustable Design

Soft, padded leatherette headbands and ear cups are designed to feel comfortable even after hours of listening, while the adjustable fit accommodates a range of head sizes. Consequently, the H540 holds up well through extended workdays, long gaming sessions, or back-to-back meetings.

Genuinely Simple Plug-and-Play USB-A Setup

Simply plug the USB-A connector into your computer and instantly enjoy conversations, movies, or music in rich stereo sound — no drivers or software installation required. The H540 works across Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS, and is certified for Works With Chromebook.
