Are you kidding me? [Posted on 2008-06-11]
Wow! I don't think these things are as comfortable as the Plantronics headsets. And they definitely DO NOT have the full rich bass sound the plantronis use. I am upset at plantronics for having some captibility driver issues, etc. but after hearing these things I'm going back to plantronics and ordering the newer game pro 2.
Great headset! [Posted on 2008-06-30]
This is an amazing headset! It produces extremely good sound quality, has a great mic, and is very comfortable. Works very well with my x-fi xtreme gamer soundcard. The positional audio is top notch. The usb soundcard is a nice extra feature. It doesnt sound as good (or get as loud) as an x-fi but it is a step up from onboard audio.
If you are looking for a headset that will not "leak" sound to the outside world this is not for you. It has openings behind the speakers which allows for better frequency response but it lets a lot of noise out at high volumes. Sennheiser does make a headset without the openings that is basically identical to this one though (pc 156)
This is the best headset i have used in this price-range. You usually cannot find a headset this good for under $100.
Sennheiser Quality can't be beat [Posted on 2008-07-03]
I use this product for Skype. I'm on the phone all day for business and this headset is incredible. The sound quality is top notch.
If I had to give it one knock, it would be the over the head padding is a little light. But, I wear it for hours at a time and there is no discomfort. If you have a large head, it might feel a little tight.
Perfect for Gaming! [Posted on 2008-07-10]
Had these for about a year now. IMO, these are perfect for gaming. The sound quality is outstanding! It's very very comfortable and light weight. It doesn't feel like I got a brick sitting on my head and it doesn't squeeze my head tightly, instead it just kinda sits on top and I hardly notice them at all. After gaming for 6 to 8 hrs, they are still comfortable to wear.
Warning:
The ear cups are open in the back so if you got your sound turn up really loud ppl in the same room can hear it too. Also, they are NOT completely over the ear cups. The ear cups sit on your ears, they do NOT engulf them like steelcans.
FYI: Easy to clean the fabric on the ear cups. Just take them off, hand wash, set out to dry, place them back on and you're ready to go!
Great headset [Posted on 2008-07-22]
I really love this headset. It has met all my needs both personal and academic. My only complaint is that I can't make the headset quite as tight as I would like it; I guess I have a little head.
