Anyone have experience using a headphone/microphone on Linux for Zoom meetings? Business use, not gaming. Cheap is good, 100s is out of my price range, and my preference is something with a USB RF dongle. *
I’ll need one in the next month or two and personal recommendations are usually way better than some [sales] article off the web.
Thanks all, Michael

I don't think it makes difference if Zoom or other app. I personally do not use Zoom for various reasons, but I have GoogleMeet, Skype, Signal, Telegram and Teams. I use different devices: 1. USB Headset (more expensive around 50) Plantronics C320-M 2. Bluetooth Headset (cheep 10,-) Tarris BKH 262 3. Bluetooth Ear pods (50,-) SoundScience 180382 (Black) 4. USB Camera with MIC and Speakers - Phillips SPC 1000NC 5. USB Camera with MIC and simple wired ear pods.
All of the programs work just fine with all listed hardware. I am on bullseye with TDE 14.1 on 4 CPU PC with 8GB RAM (recycled cost 200,-)
With the USB/BT I often have to use pavucontrol, to switch between devices, although PA remembers the settings per device. We'll have to update kmix to handle dynamically the devices in the future.
I hope it helps

I used a plantronic headsets (310 and a usb version of it) a lot and was quite satisfied - but nothing RF.

I have been unable to find a cheap RF dongle headset. I have tried USB Bluetooth, but they suck. I have Bluetooth on a laptop but the headset microphone never seems to work.
I have a USB-3.5mm that works, it shows up in Linux as a new sound card when plugged in, that and wired is the only way a microphone has worked for me.
