Introduction
The Logitech H111 (981-000593) stereo headphones promise a straightforward, reliable audio solution for everyday use. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting them through their paces, testing their performance in various scenarios, from listening to music and playing games to attending video calls. This review will delve into the details, highlighting both their strengths and weaknesses.
Features
The H111 boasts a simple yet functional design. Key features include stereo sound for clear audio, a rotating boom microphone for convenient placement and noise reduction, an adjustable headband for a comfortable fit, and a standard 3.5mm audio jack for wide compatibility. The lightweight design and soft earcups make them comfortable for extended use.

Performance
The audio quality of the H111 is surprisingly good for its price point. Music sounds clear and balanced, with decent bass response, though not exceptional. The microphone performs admirably, picking up my voice clearly even in moderately noisy environments. The 180° rotating boom mic is a practical feature, allowing for easy adjustment depending on your preference. The adjustable headband ensures a comfortable fit for various head sizes. However, the cable length (1.3m as stated in the title) could be considered short for some users. I found the comfort level high for hours of use.
I tested the H111 during several video calls, and the audio quality was consistently good on both ends. My colleagues reported clear and understandable audio, even with some background noise. The microphone effectively minimized background interference, ensuring a good call experience.
While gaming, I found the sound to be sufficient for casual gameplay. However, for more competitive gaming where precise audio cues are crucial, a higher-end headset might be more suitable.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Comfortable, good sound quality for the price, effective microphone, adjustable headband, rotating microphone, simple design.
- Cons: Short cable length (1.3m), lacks in-line controls (as noted in the description; upgrade to H150 suggested for this).
Final Verdict
The Logitech H111 (981-000593) is a solid choice for users seeking affordable, reliable stereo headphones with a decent microphone. While not perfect – the short cable length is a minor drawback – its comfortable design, clear audio, and effective microphone make it a worthwhile option for everyday use, especially for video calls and casual listening. If you need in-line controls, the Logitech H150 is a worthwhile upgrade consideration as suggested by the manufacturer. I would recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a budget-friendly and functional headset.
