Plantronics C3220 USB Headset
The Plantronics C3220 combines enterprise-grade audio engineering with lightweight, all-day wearability. Built for professionals who spend hours on calls, this USB headset features wideband audio for crystal-clear voice reproduction and a noise-canceling boom microphone that isolates your voice from ambient office chatter.
Our C3220 connects instantly via USB-A—no drivers, no pairing, no disruption. Inline controls sit right at your fingertips for volume, mute, and call answer/end. Whether you’re on back-to-back video meetings or managing a busy help desk queue, the C3220 keeps pace without adding weight or heat fatigue.
- Wideband audio (150 Hz – 6.8 kHz) for natural voice clarity
- Noise-canceling microphone reduces background office noise by up to 20 dB
- Plush leatherette ear cushions and adjustable headband for extended wear
- USB-A plug-and-play connectivity—compatible with Windows and macOS
- Inline controls for volume, mute, and call management
Wideband audio engineering
The C3220 uses wideband codec support to capture frequencies from 150 Hz to 6.8 kHz—wider than traditional narrowband telephony. This extended range reproduces the natural tonal characteristics of human speech, reducing listener fatigue and improving comprehension on long calls.
Our noise-canceling boom microphone actively suppresses ambient sounds before they reach your caller. In open-plan offices or home workspaces with activity in the background, the C3220 isolates your voice while attenuating keyboard clatter, neighboring conversations, and HVAC hum by up to 20 decibels. The microphone boom rotates 180 degrees and is certified for wear on either ear, giving left- and right-handed users equal flexibility.
Comfort for extended shifts
We designed the C3220 around the reality of six-hour call days and double-shift operations. Plush leatherette ear cushions distribute pressure evenly, while the open-ear design allows ambient awareness without isolating you from your immediate environment.
The steel-reinforced headband adjusts to fit head sizes from small to extra-large and returns to shape after every adjustment. At just 85 grams, the C3220 is among the lightest professional headsets in our catalog—users consistently report wearing it for full workdays without the heat buildup or pressure points common to heavier over-ear designs.
Plug-and-play USB simplicity
The C3220 ships with a six-foot braided USB-A cable and requires zero software installation. Plug it into any Windows PC running 7 or later, or any macOS machine from 10.10 onward, and your operating system recognizes it as a standard USB audio device within seconds.
Inline controls sit mid-cable for instant access: volume rocker, dedicated mute toggle with LED indicator, and call answer/end button. The controls are HID-compliant, so they integrate natively with softphone applications from Microsoft, Zoom, RingCentral, and Cisco without custom drivers. For teams deploying headsets at scale, this means less IT overhead and faster onboarding for new hires.

What people are saying
Common questions about the C3220
Yes, the C3220 is a USB HID-compliant device that works with Windows 7 and newer, plus macOS 10.10 and up. Your operating system recognizes it as a standard audio device without requiring proprietary drivers.
Simply plug the USB-A connector into an available port and select the C3220 as your input and output device in your system sound settings or within your UC application.
Absolutely. The C3220 carries official certifications for Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business, and it works seamlessly with Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, and other browser-based platforms.
Inline call controls integrate natively with these applications, so the answer/end button and mute toggle function as expected without custom software.
The C3220’s boom microphone uses directional pickup and passive noise attenuation to reduce background sounds by up to 20 decibels. In practice, this means keyboard typing, nearby conversations, and HVAC noise are minimized before they reach your caller.
For maximum effectiveness, position the microphone boom one to two finger-widths from the corner of your mouth and adjust the foam windscreen to sit flush against the microphone capsule.
The attached USB-A cable measures six feet from the headset body to the USB connector. This length accommodates typical desk setups, including tower PCs under the desk and laptops on risers.
The cable is braided for tangle resistance and includes a cable-management clip you can attach to your desk edge or monitor arm.
Yes, the microphone boom rotates 180 degrees and locks into position on either the left or right side. The headband is symmetrical, so left-handed and right-handed users enjoy the same fit and functionality.
To switch ears, gently rotate the boom over the top of the headband until it clicks into the opposite position.
No, the C3220 is a wired USB headset that draws power directly from your computer’s USB port. There are no batteries to charge, no pairing routine, and no risk of the headset dying mid-call.
This makes it ideal for full-day shifts and hot-desking environments where users switch workstations frequently.
Every C3220 includes a two-year advance replacement warranty. If a manufacturing defect occurs within the warranty period, we ship a replacement headset before you return the defective unit, minimizing downtime.
The warranty covers workmanship and material defects but does not extend to damage from misuse, liquid exposure, or normal wear on consumable parts like ear cushions.
