JIAMQISHI USB Headset Review: The Budget Wired Call Headset
A wired on-ear headset with a unidirectional boom mic, both USB and 3.5mm connections, and 40mm drivers — a straightforward budget pick.
A cheap wired headset that covers the basics. USB and 3.5mm together give it broad compatibility, and the boom mic is fit for calls. Buy it on price, not on brand support.

The JIAMQISHI USB Headset is a wired on-ear headset that plugs into either a USB port or a 3.5mm jack, with a unidirectional boom mic aimed at everyday calls, online classes, and virtual meetings. Its selling point is not features per unit but price — it goes into the same seat as a Logitech H390 for less.
This review covers what the JIAMQISHI does well at its price, where the corners are cut, and how it stacks up against the name-brand headsets it competes with. All specifics here come from JIAMQISHI's listing.
What the JIAMQISHI is — and who should buy it
The JIAMQISHI USB Headset is a wired headset — it is not wireless, despite being ranked in Amazon's Wireless Headsets category. It gives you both a USB plug and a 3.5mm plug, so it works on PCs and laptops and also on phones and tablets that still have a headphone jack.
It is aimed at students, one-off remote workers, and cost-conscious small businesses who want a functional call headset for less than the Logitech price. It is a poor fit for large fleet rollouts where standardizing on a supported enterprise brand matters more than saving ten dollars per seat.
- Best for: individuals on a budget, home study setups, and small offices covering an extra seat
- Also good for: use across a mix of computer (USB) and mobile (3.5mm) devices
- Skip it if: you need vendor-managed support, a name-brand SLA, or you are buying at fleet scale

Book a ConsultationSound and mic
The headset uses 40mm drivers and a built-in USB sound card, which is normal for a wired USB headset at this tier. Voices in meetings come through clearly, and music is acceptable for background listening. It is not a headphone anyone should buy for critical listening.
The mic is a 270° rotating unidirectional boom, which means it points at your mouth and rejects most of the room. You can wear the boom on the left or right side, which is a small but real convenience.
Comfort and wear
JIAMQISHI uses protein memory foam earpads and an adjustable headband, and markets the headset as fitting adults and children. On-ear headsets tend to press directly on the ear rather than around it, and this one is no exception — comfort will vary by ear shape and length of session.
The earpads are made of a breathable material aimed at reducing heat build-up, and JIAMQISHI notes ROHS-certified materials. For hour-long calls it is fine. For all-day back-to-backs, a headset with larger ear cups is more forgiving.
Connectivity and controls
The dual-connection design is the practical superpower here. You get a USB plug that carries digital audio and the mic to a computer, plus a 3.5mm plug for phones, tablets, and other devices with a headphone jack. Total cable length is generous — 5 feet plus 4 feet in the setup JIAMQISHI describes.
In-line controls give you USB volume, a mic mute, and a speaker mute with an indicator light next to the speaker mute button. That indicator light is more useful than it sounds: it tells you the headset is live, which reduces 'am I muted?' moments.
Where the JIAMQISHI falls short
The JIAMQISHI is what a $25-ish wired headset usually is.
- No brand-name enterprise support — no Logitech LogiTune, no Jabra Direct
- On-ear pads press directly on the ear; less comfortable than larger over-ear headsets over long days
- Build quality is budget-tier — expect to replace it sooner than a Logitech or Jabra
- Wired only, despite being in the Wireless Headsets category
JIAMQISHI vs the alternatives
Against the other headsets ranked around it, the JIAMQISHI is the price-first pick. The Logitech H390 and H391 cost more but bring name-brand support and easier IT standardization. The Logitech Zone 300 is a different class — real wireless. JIAMQISHI's own Bluetooth model is the wireless step-up in the same family. And the Jabra Evolve 10 is a comparably-priced wired alternative from an enterprise brand.
