Specifications

Logitech's current specification for part number 981-000480 confirms the 20Ω impedance, 115dB headphone sensitivity, -42dBV/Pa microphone sensitivity, 20Hz–20kHz headset response, 100Hz–16kHz microphone response, 1.8m cable, 120g weight, and Windows/macOS/ChromeOS compatibility.

High-Definition Digital Stereo Sound

The H540 uses laser-tuned audio with a built-in equalizer to deliver rich digital stereo sound directly through USB.

This makes it suitable not only for voice communication but also for:

• YouTube
• Music
• Movies
• Online Training
• Video Conferences
• Casual Gaming
• General PC Entertainment

Logitech specifically positions the H540 for calls, games, music, and multimedia rather than limiting it to basic telephone-quality voice audio.

Noise-Cancelling Microphone

The H540 includes a dedicated noise-cancelling boom microphone designed to minimize unwanted background noise during calls.

This is particularly useful in:

• Offices
• Shared Workspaces
• Home Offices
• Online Classes
• Customer Service
• Video Meetings

The feature is microphone noise cancellation—it reduces noise captured by the microphone. It should not be confused with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for the headphones.

Adjustable Right-Side Boom Microphone

The boom microphone is positioned on the right side of the headset and can be adjusted closer to your mouth for improved voice pickup.

When you are not using the microphone, the discreet boom can be moved and tucked into the headband, creating a cleaner headset profile.

On-Ear Controls

Important controls are positioned directly on the headset.

You can quickly:

• Increase Volume
• Decrease Volume
• Mute the Microphone

without repeatedly opening software controls on your computer. Logitech also includes a visible mute-status indicator light, making it easier to check whether your microphone is active.

USB-A Plug-and-Play Connection

The H540 uses a fixed USB-A connection.

Simply connect it to a compatible computer and the headset provides digital stereo audio and microphone communication through the USB interface. Logitech states that no software installation is required for basic plug-and-play operation.

This makes it convenient for:

• Desktop PCs
• Office Computers
• Laptops with USB-A
• Mac Computers with USB-A or a compatible adapter
• Chromebooks

1.8-Meter Cable

The wired headset includes an approximately:

1.8m / 6ft cable.

This provides enough length for most workstation configurations while avoiding the charging and battery management associated with wireless headsets.

Comfortable Padded Design

Logitech equips the H540 with a soft, padded leatherette headband and padded ear cups. The headband is also adjustable to accommodate different users.

This makes the headset suitable for extended use during:

• Meetings
• Online Classes
• Customer Calls
• Training Sessions
• Office Work
• Remote Work

Lightweight 120g Design

Despite its padded construction and integrated microphone, Logitech lists the headset at approximately:

120g.

The relatively lightweight design helps reduce unnecessary weight during longer sessions.

Windows Compatibility

Logitech officially lists compatibility with Windows computers and popular calling platforms.

The USB plug-and-play design makes the H540 suitable for business desktops, office laptops, and home PCs equipped with USB-A or an appropriate adapter.

macOS Compatibility

The H540 is also compatible with macOS.

A compatible Mac with USB-A can connect directly; USB-C-only Macs require a suitable USB-C-to-USB-A adapter or hub.

Chromebook Compatibility

The Logitech H540 is officially Certified Works With Chromebook.

This makes it a useful option for:

• Students
• Schools
• Online Learning
• Google Meet
• Chromebook-Based Workstations

Great for Video Meetings

The combination of digital USB audio, noise-reducing microphone, convenient mute controls, and comfortable padding makes the H540 particularly suitable for professional video calls.

It can be used with popular communication applications supported by your computer, including common conferencing and calling platforms. Logitech describes compatibility broadly as working with popular calling applications across supported operating systems.

Great for Home & Office Work

The H540 is particularly useful for professionals who need a simple headset that stays connected to their primary workstation.

There is:

• No Bluetooth Pairing
• No Wireless Receiver to Charge
• No Headset Battery
• No Daily Charging
• No Audio Software Required for Basic Use

Plug the headset into USB-A and it is ready for compatible calling and audio applications.

Suitable for Online Learning

Students can use the H540 for:

• Online Classes
• Educational Videos
• Voice Communication
• Remote Lessons
• Language Learning
• Video Conferencing

The adjustable microphone helps provide clearer communication between student and teacher, while the padded design is intended for longer listening sessions.

Suitable for Casual Gaming

Logitech states that its laser-tuned audio is suitable for games as well as music and calls.

The H540 can therefore be used for casual PC gaming where simple USB stereo sound and voice chat are required.

However, it is primarily a computer communication/productivity headset, not a dedicated Logitech G competitive gaming headset.
