Logitech H390 ClearChat Comfort USB Headset
This is the fourth post of the 7-Day Video Review Challenge to Overcome Fear of the Camera follow up video series.
Today I am reviewing the Logitech H390 ClearChat Comfort/USB Headset.
There’s not that much interesting stuff to say about a headset, other than it sounds great and the microphone quality is amazing.
For obvious reasons I can’t show you how great it sounds because you would have to put the headset on to test it out for yourself. (see my brilliant logic?)
But what I CAN do though, is show you the quality that this great headset from Logitech has to offer.
I don’t know if you have noticed from my previous posts that I always try to get the best bang for the buck kind of deal when it comes to buy anything online and that also applies to my internet marketing related tools.
If you go to Amazon and search for ‘Logitech Headset’ the first two choices you’re going to find are the Logitech H390 Headset (the model I’m reviewing here) and the Logitech H530 with Premium Laser-Tuned Audio (a more expensive model and clueless about ‘Premium Laser Tuned Audio’)
I decided to go with the most popular version and bought the less expensive one which is the one in the picture.
On a special note, I always buy the BEST I can find but that doesn’t necessarily means that I always get the most expensive product, if that makes any sense.
So fast forward, bought it, unpacked it, plugged it in, instantly worked!
Same story with my ol’ Mac (remember that I work with both platforms, PC & Mac) not a single issue.
I have been talking a lot about the latest trends with Internet Marketers, doing all kind of cool stuff like recording podcasts, communicating over Skype, creating screencasts, etc.
Well this baby (and I mean this HEADSET in case you thought of something else) is a hardcore player for all those kind of tasks.
It is rugged, soft to your ears, it is light, the USB cable is long enough (8 feet) for many scenarios (don’t be a smarty pants and try to walk around the office to prove is not long enough) and the most important of all, it is super cheap.
It has a very useful three buttons small device right on the cable for controlling volume up, volume down and mute.
The microphone is adustable and sounds super awesome on interviews.
The quality of the sound you hear from the earphones, seriously blew me away.
Just for the record I’m far from being an Audio Engineer but I DO CAN TELL when something sounds GOOD and when something doesn’t.
Video Review of the Logitech H390
ClearChat Comfort USB Headset
Audio is coming ENTIRELY from the Logitech H390 ClearChat USB Headset.
There is a hissing sound that I did not like so I decided to record something with another app (Podcast creation inside GarageBand) and got this result:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
If you are one of those people that are afraid from buying online, this is a great product to start with as it is currently selling under $30 bucks.
If you can’t buy from Amazon for any reasons whatsoever, just go and look it up on Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club.
I actually just remembered I bought mine from Wal-Mart when I was doing some grocery shopping! LOL
So there you have it, don’t make up any more excuses, go and buy this great product, you can thank me later! ;-)
If you want to support me, here’s a direct link to Amazon with my affiliate code embedded, I may earn like one buck from it haha.
Buy Logitech ClearChat Comfort/USB Headset H390 (Black)
Hope to write another amazing review for tomorrow and remember that I’m NOT doing this for the money.
This is a self-imposed challenge that I’m doing so I can OVERCOME my dreadful terrible horrid panicking fear of recording myself on camera.
If you don’t want to leave a comment that’s fine too, the world won’t stop spinning ya’ know?
But if you choose to, you will certainly make one person happy… and that’s ME! :))
My small out-of-place rant to encourage you to TAKE ACTION:
Be great people, stay cool, buy the stuff you need, don’t over think it, the world is already full of excuse makers, don’t up that number.
Don’t waste your precious time, be an action taker, don’t wait until tomorrow, the weekend, don’t say “next week“, do not wait until you get your next check, go and get your stuff NOW.
Take my word of advice about these products and RUN WITH IT.
If I could endorse this any more, I would had to refund your money myself (now I can’t currently do that, but I would if I could!)
Small special note about today’s video:
I was sick (flu) the entire Thursday, tried to create a video anyway but for some reason I just couldn’t speak and felt terribly ill.
As I couldn’t sleep knowing that I was going to fail to publish at least one video every day, I just HAD to get out of bed and do whatever I could.
I got out of bed a bit before 2:00am.
Started shooting the video and had mistakes ALL over the place but I still left it unedited (it’s not like I can edit at will, I still have a lot to learn on that area)
The video is almost seven minutes long and as I write this ScreenFlow is still exporting it.
It is exactly Friday 2:43am right now.
There’s also something I have never tried before, which I will try to optimize it for the web.
Upload it to Youtube and finally embed the code here.
I’m letting you know all these details just so you know that I’m 100% committed to keep up with my challenge.
I ended updating everything on Friday at 3:48am… and felt AWESOME! ;-)
So peace out, Sergio Felix signing off…
Have a GREAT DAY you wonderful peeps and remember… I APPRECIATE YOU!!

Hey Sergio,
Another great educational video. To be honest I think I might have been tempted to buy the more expensive model before reading your review because I would have expected a $30 headset to be of dubious quality.
However after reading (and also listening and watching) this review I now realize that this model would be more than adequate for my needs.
I loved the tip on how to place the microphone because many people make the mistake of placing it far too close to their mouth which results in distorted audio and heavy breathing sounds – not good.
Keep going strong.
On a side note I think it is important to point out that I believe the vast majority of who I will best describe as “part-time marketers” would not have completed this post if they had been unwell for a day.
There would have been an update the following day saying: “Sorry I could not post anything yesterday but I was ill and I could not get on camera.”
But you, on the other hand, spent a few hours in bed to recover, got up at around 2am and sent a tweet saying you had completed the blog post at 3.50am.
This is the difference between taking action and taking massive action and in such a competitive industry as this, then it is taking massive action which will set people apart from the crowd.

Hey Patrick my man!
Greatly appreciate that you have been enjoying those spread little tips I give sometimes.
Even though reviewing products is not really “my thing” and my experience with all of these gadgets is VERY limited, I think that if I can share a few tricks here and there, then why not right?
Even if they are pretty basic stuff, I did not know everything when I started so someone might appreciate them from time to time.
On the other hand, thanks again for pointing out the difference between taking action and taking massive action.
I have been saying that what has been helping me a lot lately, was writing on big red letters “MAKE IT OK TO FAIL” on my whiteboard.
Even though I’m NOT aiming for perfection anymore, I still believe that if you promise something, you have GOT TO DO IT NO MATTER WHAT.
Because that’s your business card.
I said I was going to do this challenge and in my mind has NEVER even crossed the thought of failing on my own challenge.
It has been scary as hell but what do I have to lose? Either I have “it” or I don’t and I want to find out already.
So a big fat THANK YOU and man I hope you have your blog going at full throttle now!
Onward comrade!!
Take care and have a great weekend Mr Griffin!

Sergio,
Are you feeling better now? It really sucks when you get sick when you are trying to complete a challenge.
I love logitech products. I have a headphone similar to this one, probably the newer version, as mine is 3-4 years old and bought it because of the noise reduction. I never knew how to properly wear it..lol. I don’t like them, but they can come in handy when needed.
Great review once again!

Hi Linda,
Never been better and thanks for asking, you rock!! :)
I’m a fan of Logitech myself and I also believe that great products should last more than just a few months of good use before a new ‘something’ comes up and makes you feel like you need the newer model to stay up to date.
For example, I have a 3 year old Macbook and it serves my purposes just fine, it’s not perfect and I do kind of need a newer one for some tasks but I can still make a LOT of stuff on that thing.
So if your headset is still good, my advice would be to just keep using it!! (unless you need a new set of course)
Have a great day and thanks for the great feedback Linda!
