Poly - Blackwire 5220 (BW5220-A, BW5220-C, 1C5220, 1C5220-C, etc.)

Looking for headphones recs! Low budget, comfy fit, good isolation, and balanced sound are my top needs.  Here's the details: -budget is $55-85 USD, slightly flexible  -Source: android phone w/ USB c & Bluetooth, portable CD player w/ aux, cassette player w/ aux -Isolation is important since I wear these primarily at work. I have ADHD and there's a lot of foot traffic near my desk, so would love to block out some noise & avoid bleed. I also like to wear these doing chores around the house. -Preference for full size, but on-ear could be an option if the isolation is okay -I listen to a lot of genres; alt rock, 90s rock, folk punk, hyperpop, hip house, and rap. Love the mountain goats, black country new roads, indigo girls, interpol, type o negative, AJJ, yung gravy, freddie dredd, cobrah, azealea banks, gaga, nin.  -i like a balanced mix, crisp (but *not* harsh) and not muddy.  -Past headphones: I've been using a pair of $30 Mpow 059 for yearrrs. Love the sound balance, comfort, portability, and that they're pink. They're shredded at this point so I need a replacement.  I bought a pair of Jlab Jbuds Lux ANC wireless headphones to replace them, but I find them to be wayyy too warm on my ears. The sound also seemed less clear than I was wanting, even after playing with settings.  My partner works at a call center and I borrowed their poly blackwire 5220 on ears, and honestly like them better than the Jlabs lmaoo Interested in any thoughts/advice,thanks! 

I'm not usually very easy to persuade through marketing. But this image made me learn more about the brand, and that research made me a fan of the product. [image: Neil Armstrong wearing Plantronics Headset](https://headsetplus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/neil-armstrong.jpg) In the Mercury/Atlas space program, the pilots involved identified a need for a headset that would work with the space suits, zero-gravity, and environmental-noise factors. A guy calls a friend, friend builds a protototype and it gets contracted to NASA through Plantronics. This was when NASA was a national-level mission to put a man on the moon. Cost-be-damned. NASA could have anything they wanted, from any provider on the planet. They stuck with Plantronics. In the 1970s and 1980s call centers were filled with Plantronics headsets. They were THE business standard all through the 90's and into the 2010s. Plantronics bought Altec Lansing in 2005. Plantronics bought Polycom in 2018. They rebranded to become Poly around that same time. In 2022 HP bought Poly, and so far hasn't screwed with their business significantly. I have Poly Blackwire USB wired here in the office, and a smaller, portable wired set in my backpack. At home I have a Poly Bluetooth headset that is a delight. For business communications, I'm a Poly/Plantronics fanboy. But my AirPod Pros are in my jeans pocket for my personal phone.
