How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a dependable wired headset that plugs into practically any computer or phone you already own, choose New Bee USB Headset; if you need a lightweight wireless headset you can wear while moving around, choose LEVN Open Ear Headphones.
• New Bee USB Headset — biggest strength: one headset that covers 3.5 mm, USB-A and USB-C with a boom mic, in-line controls and a mute indicator. No drivers, no charging.
• New Bee USB Headset — biggest trade-off: it's wired, so you're tethered to your desk or device, and it's a single-ear on-ear design rather than something you'd wear out and about.
• LEVN Open Ear Headphones — biggest strength: 29 grams of open-ear comfort with Bluetooth 5.3, multipoint pairing and a rotatable mic with one-touch mute.
• LEVN Open Ear Headphones — biggest trade-off: wireless means charging and pairing, there's no wired fallback at all, and the open-ear shape deliberately lets outside sound in.
• Who each is for: New Bee for desk-bound work, call centers and study setups; LEVN for people who take calls and listen while walking, driving, commuting or working out.
The New Bee H365 is a plug-and-play communications headset. Its whole pitch is connectivity variety: a 3.5 mm audio cable plus USB-C and USB-A plugs, with the in-line control module handling volume and call answer/end. The cable runs about 5+5 feet, which is enough to move around a desk without dragging your laptop off the table. There's a mic mute with indicators and a speaker mute on the same module, so you can kill your mic without hunting through software settings.
The audio side is straightforward but sensible for voice work: a dynamic driver with a 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz frequency range and 140 ohm impedance. That impedance figure is worth noting — it's on the higher side, which generally means the headset wants a reasonably capable output rather than a weak one, so it's happiest plugged into a computer or a device with decent onboard audio rather than a flimsy adapter.
Comfort is built around a soft foam ear cushion, an adjustable headband and faux leather/TPE materials, and the boom mic rotates so you can park it out of the way. It's listed for all ages, ships with a 3-year warranty description, and is aimed at Skype, Zoom, call centers, distance learning, webinars, podcast recording and similar talking-heavy tasks.
Buy it if you want one headset that works across a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone without charging, pairing or driver installs — and you're sitting at a desk while you use it. Skip it if you need to walk around during calls, hate cables, or want to hear your surroundings while you work.
LEVN Open Ear Headphones: Who It's For
Wireless is handled by Bluetooth 5.3 with a rated range up to 49 feet (14.94 meters), plus multipoint so two devices can be connected at once — laptop and phone, for example, switching between a meeting and a playlist. The mic system uses AI noise cancelling to filter environmental noise, mounted on a 270° rotatable boom so you can position it near your mouth. A one-touch mute button sits on the headset, and the multi-function button handles play/pause, track skipping, answering and rejecting calls.
The audio specs are a dynamic driver, 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz and 32 ohm impedance — a much lower impedance than the New Bee, which is typical for a battery-powered Bluetooth device driving its own amplification. Charging is via a magnetic induction charger. The stated use cases are work, workouts, driving and calls.
Buy it if you want a headset that disappears on your head, pairs to two devices, and lets you stay aware of your surroundings while you talk or listen. Skip it if you want zero charging to think about, need a wired connection as a backup, or you work in a noisy open office where an open-ear design will let too much of that noise in.

My Verdict
Both handle voice calls well, but differently. The New Bee USB Headset is the safer pick for fixed desk setups because it plugs straight in with no pairing or battery involved, and the in-line mic mute with indicator is handy mid-meeting. The LEVN is better if you take those calls while moving, thanks to its rotatable mic and one-touch mute.
Yes — they're wireless with Bluetooth 5.3 and a magnetic induction charger, so they run on a battery. The New Bee USB Headset doesn't have that concern at all since it's powered through its 3.5 mm, USB-A or USB-C connection. If remembering to charge is a dealbreaker for you, that alone points to the New Bee.
Yes. It ships with a 3.5 mm jack plus USB-C and USB-A plugs, and New Bee lists compatibility with most computers, laptops, PCs and cell phones, with no driver installation required. Just check which port your device has and use the matching plug — that's the main thing to verify before buying.
The LEVN Open Ear Headphones, clearly. They're waterproof and non-slip, weigh 29 grams, fit around glasses and helmets, and the open-ear design keeps you aware of traffic and surroundings. They also support multipoint, so you can stay connected to your phone and another device at the same time. The New Bee's wired, desk-oriented design isn't built for that kind of use.
I don't quote prices here because they change constantly — check the current price on Amazon using the button on this page for both headsets before you commit. My advice: compare them on the features you'll actually use daily (wired vs wireless, desk vs mobile) rather than on the number alone, because the cheaper option is only a bargain if it fits how you work.
