Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Noise cancellation underperforms for several users. Multiple buyers report the UH36's mic noise cancellation doesn't work as expected. One user said dog barking was still clearly audible to the person they called, and table taps came through too. Another using Google Meet on Windows 11 found keyboard tapping and dog barking still present and couldn't locate the relevant Intel smart technology setting. A third user, initially happy with the headset, later noticed conversations were picking up everything in the background.

Connectivity and mode-dependent behavior confuse some buyers. One user experienced one-way audio, hearing callers fine but not being heard themselves, despite normal-looking output and input settings on their computer, unlike their more comfortable but functional cheap headset. Other commenters asked whether the noise-cancelling mic works the same via 3.5mm versus USB, and whether it noise-cancels at all when connected directly to a phone's VoIP app rather than through the USB module, suggesting uncertainty about consistent performance across connection types.

Minor software quirks add friction for some owners. At least one user was bothered by a pop-up notification that appears when the UH36 is connected to a PC and asked how to disable it, indicating the out-of-box software experience isn't fully seamless. Combined with reports of noise-cancellation and one-way audio troubleshooting, this suggests some buyers spend extra time configuring the headset rather than using it right away.
