I began my quest back in late 2010. My objective was to find the best gaming headset for PC. I had been using a pair of Steel Series SteelSound 5H V2 for 3 years and was really unimpressed with the sound quality, so having great sound was a top priority for me. After reading countless reviews, doing hours of research on headphone niche websites, I chose the Sennheiser PC 350 since they were closed back and had fairly good reviews. When I got them, however, I found the sound quality to be far less than I was hoping. The bass was empty and the sound hollow. I next decided to try a very nice set of cans with a clip-on microphone, so my second purchase was a set of Sennheiser HD595 and a Zalman Microphone Zm-Mic1. Well the headphones sounded fantastic, but the microphone quality was beyond terrible. It simply was not tolerable. So I went back to the drawing board, and decided to buy the Beyerdynamic MMX 300, which are basically the Beyerdynamic DT 770 with a nice microphone on them. I was pleased with the sound quality and the sound isolation was perfect (they're closed back headphones) but they weren't particularly adjustable, heavy, and would pinch my head, though my head is pretty large. Also, after a while my ears would get hot so I couldn't use them for extended periods. Then the sound in the left ear started to crackle, so I had to return them. Rather than replacing them, I decided to go with the newer Sennheiser PC360.I was wary about their open design, but after having the HD595 for a week, I decided I could bare outside noise for superior sound quality. As far as I can tell the PC360 use the exact same driver as the HD595, but it has a great sounding boom mic on it. They have velour earpads and are made out of a special light-weight plastic so their comfort is extraordinary. It really is amazing how lightweight they are. The adjustable volume on the right ear is very handy as is the mic auto-mute when you click it up into the stowed position. I really could not be happier with my purchase. They are very open which is a double edged sword. On the plus side, their frequency response is fantastic. I heard details in songs that I never knew were there before. The mids are warm and inviting, the bass is present but not overbearing (as it was in the MMX300), and the highs are crystal clear. They also ventilate well and I've never felt my ears getting remotely hot. On the down side there is absolutely no sound isolation. I can hear almost as clearly with them on as I can with them off, though that's only an issue when I have no sound playing. The sound doesn't bleed out too terribly, but as I use them in my room with the door shut most of the time that isn't really a concern of mine. If I were someone who used their PC in a room with a lot of other noises or people, I would probably look to a closed back set of headphones/headsets.After 5 months of using these for at least 3 hours a day, I would say that I was successful in my quest. In my opinion, the Sennheiser PC360s is the best sounding, most comfortable headset on the market. I would recommend it to almost anyone, with the only exception being people who would be listening in noisy rooms. They having a fairly low impedance, so just about any sound card can run them effectively, however I would recommending making at least some investment into an after market sound card. Also, I would recommend buying a Sennheiser Headphone Holder. It would be nice of Sennheiser to include it with the headset, as they did with the HD595, but I'm ok spending an extra $15 for the convenience of having handy headset storage. I'm thinking my next purchase will be an ASTRO MixAmp so that I can use them with my Xbox 360 & PS3.

I've had my PC350 headset for about four years. They were my first Sennheisers, and I liked them enough to go on to buy a HD598 for when I didn't need a microphone. I've reviewed that one here as well. Amazingly good.Admittedly, the bass was a little flimsy when I got the PC350, mostly due to them being a closed headset with an originally open headset's driver in it. The folks at Head.fi discovered that you could disassemble the headset and (carefully) drill a single 1/8th inch hole in the back of each of the driver enclosures, and that improved things drastically. I tried it, and had great results. The bass totally came to life. That was about two years ago.About a month ago, the pleather on the ear cups started to crack and peel a bit. That was a bummer, but I figured they were near the end of their life after four years of daily use and that was all there was to it. How wrong that was! Instead of the material splitting and breaking like a normal pleather would, I discovered it was just a thin layer of plastic "painted" onto cloth. I carefully peeled it all off and now my PC350 feels just like the velour cups on my HD598. They still look great and I never cared for the pleather, so that was another big improvement.This headset was a four star when I got it. After four years and a couple tweaks, I'm definitely giving it a five.

These are very comfortable. They have a nice long cord that is wrapped- which is awesome because I have had trouble with my cords getting frayed and this really helps extend their life! The microphone works great - I use mine MOSTLY for dictation with Dragon software, but also use them for gaming.They have conventional plugs - not usb- that go into your audio out and your mike in. I have used them with a usb adapter with my PS3 too. Love how easy it is to adjust the volume with the little rotating button on the right ear.These are comfortable even at long sessions writing or gaming. They come with a really nice case in case you need to be mobile with them. The case itself is well made and not bulky. I own several pair of high end headphones and Sennheiser continues to be my favorite. When I got my first pair, I thought that they might not last because the materials are fairly lightweight, but I've not destroyed a pair yet, even though I've dropped them between my headboard and mattress, off the side of the bed, my cat has tried to eat them...they seem pretty indestructible. Sound quality is excellent and the volume range is good - they go up loud enough to satisfy but I not so loud I worry about them being too loud if I turn the button all the way. Bass response is great in the games- handles the explosions very clearly and well. Great noise reduction and the mic is good at isolating sound. I am able to dictate and the mike picks up words EVEN when there is a gaming session going on in the house that I'm not involved in.When you want to quit using the mike, you just push it up and it cuts off.I love these. :)

I have worn this headset for 40 hours a week for four years now. That's over 8000 hours! The ear pads are doing well, the headband has not cracked, the cable has not shorted, and they are essentially in perfect condition. I take them off and put them back on a dozen or more times a day and the cord frequently gets curly and twisted, but it has held up well even with my chair running over the cord occasionally. I have dropped the headset from several feet high onto a hard floor countless times. Simply put, this headset is extremely durable.Having worn this headset as much as I have, I can say that it is quite comfortable, even with my big ears. The ear pads can get a little sweaty, but I work in a cool office so it's not really a problem. They're not any more or any less sweat inducing than other circumaural headphones I have used.The audio quality is excellent. The bass is definitely there, it's just balanced out and not overwhelming or overly emphasized. I'm driving mine with a Behringer UCA202.The mic is about as good as you can get on a headset like this. I mostly use the mic for phone calls with Cisco IP Communicator.Sure there are better headphones out there for less money, but not better headsets. If you use your headset for professional communication, but also want great headphones for music, get these. Clip on mics are terrible.

I bought these primarily to use while playing MMO's and so far they're excellent. the sound quality is outstanding (not 'tinny' or too bass filled) everything is exactly as should be (I generally don't go for the normal head phones and have monitor style recording head phones so am used to hearing things as they should be rather than altered through certain speaker types).The mic quality is good and according to people listening everything is crystal clear and at a decent volume straight out the box, speaking of the box, or rather the packaging, was nice and everything was well covered/secured.I researched for around 12 hours total before opting for these and found razer are hit and miss with their QC, Logitech are arguably better than Senn, and would of been my next choice if these 330's didn't workout (I have almost exclusively Logitech peripherals so took a chance on these Senn's), but I wont be sending these back :)I know some people have mentioned them being 'too tight' well, I find them tight until I find the correct placement on my head, I have to wear them slightly different than my better half to have them comfortable, once the sweet spot is found then they're VERY comfortable and do a good job of limiting external sound without completely eliminating it all. I also really like the mute mic feature and love the volume control on the right ear piece.I would, and in fact already have, recommend/ed this headset for gaming purposes.

I've never spent more than $50 on a computer / gaming headset. Why?1. I'm cheap. . .uh, I mean frugal2. I never saw the point in itBut the more I play MMO (massive multiplayer online) games, the need to participate in online conversation becomes greater.The problem with nearly every headset under $50, is not the mic, but ears start to hurt from the headphones pressing on them.These headphones are great, because the headphones fit around the ears.I've watched several movies now, done online work training and gamed for several hours with the headphones not causing any discomfort.The mic is nice and receptive, and I do like the feature that mutes you automatically when you put the mic in the up position.The sound is great! But I expect nothing less from Sennheiser. Especially in some games, the ambient sounds are very thorough and full, which really helps create the mood.These are also noise cancelling headphones. My wife tried to get my attention a couple of times while I was watching a movie and she failed, because I heard nothing external.I'm more than willing to try a lower-end sennheiser because I'm not really sure $250 is giving you that much more than something highly rated around $100 (such as SteelSeries Siberia V2 Full-Size Gaming Headset (White)).OVERALL: Yes, it's Sennhieser and you're paying for it. But you know you're getting a super high quality item.Yes, there are other less expensive options on the market that may be comparable, but there's no second guessing these headphones.

I just recently jumped back into the market for new headphones. After a bit of research I grabbed a pair of Bose AE2's, but I also spend a good deal of time gaming and decided to double-dip for a headset to compare. In terms of audio quality and comfort for the respective price, I'm sorry to say that Bose absolutely trumps Sennheiser. The AE2's are lightweight and comfy as can be, with excellent audio quality and good audio balance. The 350's are a good fit, but not nearly as cushy, roughly double the weight (just enough to make your neck hurt a bit), clamp down a bit too much for comfort, and above all, have a greatly inferior audio quality. It sounds fine in the middle of the spectrum but as you move into stronger instances of either treble or bass those sounds becomes unbalancedly overpowered and lose clarity, resulting in complete obliteration of accompanying instruments if you're listening to music, and just a low-clarity assault on your ears if you're playing an action-oriented game. After a single Team Fortress 2 match with these on, my neck, head, and ears were all aching slightly.I have not yet found a headset of better quality within my price range, but after being spoiled by my Bose headphones, I just can't use these. I will say however that the mic is of amazing quality compared to my old desktop mic. It doesn't eliminate ambient noise very well, but does capture at a nice quality and doesn't seem to generate any hiss.

I have been using this headset for the past couple of weeks at work. I have mostly used it for listening to music, but I have also used it for phone calls on our VoIP system. It is very comfortable. The headset feels light on my head, yet it seems pretty sturdy. The ear pads are soft and the top of the headband portion is also padded. I can wear it for a whole day without feeling any discomfort at all.The sound quality on this headset is very nice. The other headphones I own are mid-range Sony models (specifically the MDR-V150 and MDR-NC7/BLK). This headset compares very nicely to those. The sound is very crisp and it seems to better reproduce a higher range of frequencies than the Sony headphones do.Another nice feature of this headset is its long cord. At three meters (9 ft), it's long enough to reach to the back of my computer tower on the floor next to my desk with plenty of slack to spare. The cord only goes into one side of the headset, which I personally find more convenient than when a separate cord goes into each ear.The microphone also seems to work well. It can be adjusted to be at the right angle for your mouth. It also can be folded up to be out of the way when you're not speaking and just want to listen for a while. Other Sennheiser headsets offer a feature that disables the microphone when you fold it all the way up. This is not one of those headsets; the microphone is always live.A different reviewer commented that the headset doesn't work well for people who have smaller heads. This does not surprise me much. While I don't know my exact hat size, I imagine my head is probably no smaller than average. I have to adjust the headband on my Sony headphones out a few notches for them to fit me properly. By contrast, this headset fits me pretty much perfectly on the smallest setting.Bottom line: if your head is in the medium to large category, you really can't go too wrong with this headset. If you have a smaller head, you may want to try this on before purchasing to see if it will work for you.*** UPDATE ***I have been using this headset for music and VoIP phone calls pretty much all day, every day at work for a few months now. It's still going strong.

Our household has a variety of headphone users in it. We have PC gamers, PS3 gamers, avid music listeners, and even those who use headphones to watch TV.One of the people in our household who has a rather small ear and who listens to music, radio, and laptop via headphones and also uses a microphone for various computer programs feels that these headphones do not have the depth of sound at all and are not as nice as her Swagger headphones (not very expensive) and she just was not impressed by the microphone either compared to her other set which she got from a foreign language program she uses. She didn't like that they didn't protect from room noise enough. She gave these headphones 2 stars.I have another sound FANATIC who is a complete sound addict. He has a variety of EXPENSIVE headphones including the wireless Turtlebeach Earforce PX5. He uses them for everything from music to gaming on PC to PS3 and also for movie and TV watching. He is big on sound and it having to be JUST SO. He tried these headphones out and liked them a lot. He said the sound was great and the microphone also decent. He thought they were comfortable and a decent buy for the price. He said five stars.I tried these headphones and thought they were good, but the comfort was a bit of an issue for me- like they were a bit too small or something. They didn't feel as comfortable as others I have used, but I am not a big headphone fanatic, so I think I could get used to these. The sound was good and the mic seemed fine to me. I give these four stars.All in all, between all of the ratings in our household, I went with four stars as the final tally. I only wish they could be converted to be able to be used on a PS3 more easily and I would probably use them more than on my PC, but they are still nice to have for PC games and software that needs speaking and hearing in order to run.

I tested out the Sennheiser PC 310 headset with a few games to see how they sounded. They sounded great.On the old classic Max Payne, the voice of Max had the deep base, deep like the feeling of despair of a cop with nothing to lose in a world willed with the wicked.In Deus Ex: Human Revolution the crisp sounds of gunshots and explosions riddles my ears with excitement as I punched the lights out of the unsuspecting bad guys.Flying my Odyssey class cruiser in Star Trek Online sounded better than before as I heard all the details of the game clearly, from the deeps of a console to the sound of my engines.I also tested the headphones on my Audigy card and the onboard sound. Both had good sound and the differences would be due to the hardware and not the headphones.There was a clear forward and sides to the sound, but any behind sounds didn't sound very distinct aside from they were in both ears. I'm not familiar with enough headphones to know if others have better surround sound capabilities.What I was using before the headphones was Creative 5.1 speakers but not set into a surround pattern (not a good way to do it where I live.) I think the headphones are better alternative if I want to get the best sound experience as I have a neighbor down below and if the kids are asleep, I don't have to keep it even lower.You can still hear noises occurring outside the headset assuming you don't have it blasting, but that's fine, as I need to hear things sometimes, like my kids causing havoc, for example. It's good to note the noise canceling is for the microphone, not the speakers.The best test I could manage for the microphone was to call the Skype test service. I talked next to my loud computer and on the replay I could still hear myself clearly, so the computer noises didn't overwhelm the voice.The headphones are comfortable and rest comfortable on my head and don't press hard against my ears. They gave my ears minimal headphone bend strain.If you have the cash to drop on these headphones, they are of fine quality both in sound and comfort and will likely be what you are looking for.

The first headset's microphone did not work. Amazon sent a replacement headset while arranging for UPS pickup of my the defective headset. It was worth the wait.Dragon Naturally Speaking includes a headset with the program. Without noise cancellation the microphone needs a very quiet room as well as the microphone volume set as loud as possible. The free headset is difficult for long term wear. The Sennheiser PC 31-II more than fulfills the dictation role. Noise cancelling microphone's sensitivity aids my dictation to be picked up at a normal volume in a room with a television on. Sound quality excels for open on-ear ear pads at this price. Music, games, and video are crystal with unexpectedly great responsiveness from full bass to thrilling high range. As others have mentioned, the PC 31-II light comfortable fit allows one to forget the headset is being worn. I'm quite pleased with the headset for dictation, playing games or listening music. For the price range, the Sennheiser PC 31-II is hard to beat. KEVIN aka "DocPayne"

After using a pair of Logitech G930's, I went and buy an analog headset with a sound card, not only does the quality increase, but the comfort is day/night on these; I've used the G930's for several hours and once i took them off i had that sore pain where the cup was held around my ear, on the Sennheiser 350SE I can wear them above 10 hours straight and take them off without leaving any mark of pain or use, it feels like cloud around your ears.The sound quality on the other hand is outstanding, with 150 Ompedance and using an Asus xonar essence STX has made my music, movies and games a lot more immersive, I watched the trilogy of LOTR in one sit with these and it was amazing, just needed to tweak them and fine-tune them on the mixer to give me that great cinematic feel, it did it's job better than expected, as for gaming it has increased my reaction time and whereabouts of where the sound is coming from like I've never experienced before and exciting all-time play.I would get another set of these if necessary, and highly recommend them if you are purchasing a sound card as well!

I currently use the Sennheiser PC 363D High Performance Surround Sound Gaming Headset and I have to say that I like the 363's better. Let me compare the two:363--sound quality is refined, better clarity and better high-end sound. (363 Wins)350--sound quality is excellent throughout the range, but lacks the extreme clarity of the 363 (that said, unless you're comparing them side by side, as I did, you're probably not going to notice).363--USB cable connection. I prefer this, as it's more usable and can cross over to different inputs (keyboards, pc's etc). (363 Wins)350--pc cables only (one for mic, one for sound). This is as equally convenient if you're just using it on your pc. In fact, if you lack USB input availability, this might be a plus.363--comfortable. VERY comfortable.350--comfortable. Also VERY comfortable. (Tie)363--raise the boom for muting the mic...this is convenient.350--the same... (Tie)363--doesn't fold up flat, comes with a bag-case.350--folds flat and comes with a very nice hard(er) case. (350 Wins)363--cable is nice and long, regular cables.350--cable is not quite as long, but is coated with fabric and does not tangle. (350 Wins)So, depending on your use--the 350's might be better. The prices are nearly the same (363s are 299 today, 350s are 250), so if you're a heavy user, or just very picky, that's not really an issue.I hope this helps...

I use a computer for several hours a day, and as I am also blind and use a screen reader and don't want to disturb others, a reasonably good headset is just part of the deal. I also maintain many long-distance relationships via Skype, so a decent microphone is important to me as well. When my last very cheap headset finally shorted out after about eight months of use, I knew I wanted to replace it with something better, but still affordable on a tight budget. I had had a Sennheiser headset once before and had been quite impressed by it, so when I saw this one for such a great price, I took a chance and bought it. For $35, I wasn't expecting just too much in the way of good sound quality, but when I first removed it from the packaging (which, unlike some other models, was very easy to do) and tested it out, I couldn't stop using it. After so many months of using a cheap, flimsy headset, I was in music heaven! By the end of my third day of using it, all my long-distance friends had commented on how much clearer I sounded during Skype calls. I couldn't be happier with it, but it may not be the right headset for everyone. Certainly if you are accustomed to top-quality, very pricey headsets, this may not be the way to go, but listed below are some hopefully more objective pros and possible cons.Pros:Excellent stereo sound, renders music and other sounds, such as those of games, very wellMicrophone gives very clear sound in Skype callsLong cord allows for freedom of movement away from the computerLightweight and comfortable for hours at a time as well as reasonably sturdyPossible cons:Microphone does not do well with recordingEarpieces rest on rather than over the ears and thus do not hold in sound wellSpeakers do not sound as if they would stand up to excessively loud and prolonged audio

Wow... Just wow... I actually started using these in place of my other set for listening to my classical music when I'm working on the computer. (they won't replace my best set for my quiet time moments of harmony but; they're about a tenth the price too...) After a few weeks of use, they sound warm, sharp but not shrill, not bright, yet full of impact. A nice tonal response all the way across. Not perfect but far from the rather crappy norm.The higher impedance of these also makes it easier on the equipment and lower on the noise (lower impedance = higher introduced noise; downside is lower power output capability from the same amp (unless it has a multi-voltage-rail type design, but that's another topic).) However, the stock on-board sound-card in one of my test rigs was more than capable of still reaching physically painful volumes without any trouble and have room left on the knob. With higher-end, more potent sound-cards or external setups, lots of room left on the knob.Still, every person hears differently so you can't go by anyone's opinions but your own. (The average person starts to have a high-frequency fall-off in their early middle age, for example. I do not (yet) but take extra special care of my hearing wearing earplugs where many people do not.) But for an SQ buff like me, these are beyond good, well into very nice. Not perfect, but what is...Those 'other' gaming sets (and honestly, I've tried them all) and other tiny-multi-speaker sets that try to do a 5.1 setup can not truly hold a candle to the sound quality of these (and you don't need those for 5.1 type sound. I play competitive FPS with these and can easily tell right where everything is without question).As for the mic; everyone continually asks me what mic I'm using cause I sound so clear and crisp and precise. Since buying these, about half of my regular competition have done the same. All with the same opinions of comfort and quality save one (He's about deaf anyhow honestly. He found them bland but he has the above for-mentioned problem to a rather extreme so he likes very bright sounding speakers to make up the difference for his actual ears. Again, just an example of human differences and how no two people will ever hear exactly the same.)Comfort, very good, not great. I can play for about 6 hours without too much problem thuogh. After that I have to take them off for a while. But I've found that to be pretty much true of all over the ear or on the ear sets. I'm worried about the longevity of the ear padding material but only time will tell that. I actually wish they had a width selector instead of just the arch effect and springs of the cups. But it's working ok. Tiny bit weak on the bottom. I've seen a few people actually strap them around to snug them up but I'm fine without that step. Doing so however does bring out the lower frequencies even more-so. So, some difference of hearing can simply be due to how they sit on your head. They are very adjustable, but.. Just that one thing missing. I've tried the strap myself, and it works great. But honestly I'm just too lazy. Still without it they are still exceptional in almost every way.It would also be nice if the mic could be switched to the other side as my hardware is on the right. Mic is on the left and so is the cabling. Cables are plenty long but... still... It would also be nice if they could collapse cup to cup to keep dust or what not out of the speaker areas, but they fold both up into the top so the speaker cups point in the same direction. Another tiny point but something to note.Volume control and mic mute are just a hair too far down the wire for me. But if you want to tuck the wire into your jacket or something for a long battle session, then it's too short so, unless they make it movable, no winners there. In the end it's very functional with almost no scratch effect and the mic mute works without the notorious bump some give ya when triggered.Even though it's generally not necessary with the good equipment, I go through a break-in period for all of my equipment before trying to rate them just to make sure any build stiffness is out and they are working normally. I also use them normally at very low volume levels due to my sensitive hearing. Even at these low volumes, they sound wonderful and that's actually saying something. The human ear will tend to 'like' louder (to a point obviously) sounds when comparing different sounds so doing comparisons at lower volumes can give you more truth to what 'you' like. A little test I like to do for myself is how quiet I still like them. Under extremely low power (volume), some speakers change their response characteristics a bit. These sing to me all the way down to 'off'.Part of my problem being a gamer but being so picky was I never liked my 'gaming' headsets. I spent way too much money trying to find a set I could live with. These are the exception. Not only can I live with them, I like them very much. To make sure my opin

I plunked down my $ for this headset only 7 short months ago, and it already petered out on me. *grimace*. The left speaker no longer works. I troubleshot all of the settings, restarted, etc to no avail and have now given the unit last rites (brought in the Priest who lives next door). This product left me in the lurch.. I have a very important project audio presentation due and I just can't afford to have my equipment fail... but fail it did.I'd like to spank Sennheiser. All they'll do about it is repair or replace but I must ship it back first. They won't ship a replacement pending my return of this dog unit.Let me say, in review of this product: Sound is very good-- great, in fact for what you pay for. But 7 months of use does not warrant the price, I'm afraid. Also, the USB plug is super-flimsy-- it wobbles in the slot and therefore gets dislodged easily. Then, you've got to play with it in order for the sound to 'take" again-- like shutting down the browser and restarting in order to get the sound back.The mic spews forth a lot of interference-- I think it happens when you brush up against the cord while you are talking (which is pretty much all the time).Maybe it's the USB setup that sucks. Think I'll try a jacked headset this time around.Conclusion: If you don't mind fiddling with the unit sometimes to get it to work and you like really decent sound but don't expect more than a few months of performance, then you'd do well by ordering this product.

My son is a gamer and needed a new headset to replace the original PC 350 Sennheiser headset we purchased back in 2009. (We had to replace that one once due to a broken cord, then the replacement eventually developed the same issue.) This "special edition" headset is a much better product in several respects. The cord is braided and seems much more durable, and the volume control is in the earcup instead of the cord, preventing him from constantly pulling on the cord to adjust the volume (which probably contributed to the cord wearing out so fast - twice.)As with the previous model, the earcups go completely around his ears, and are very comfortable for him. (He has had issues with other brands.) He also loves the setup of the mic in this model much better than the PC 350. When he slides the mic up and hears the click, it mutes it to allow privacy. With the original 350, he had to mute it at the volume control on the cord. This special edition also includes a nice, hard-sided case. This product appears to be better designed and a (hopefully) much more durable product, absolutely worth the upgrade from the original PC 350.

I have had many different headsets including razer, corsair, logitech and others, but these are by far my favorite ive had so far, the sound quality is really nice, theyre super comfortable, I can have them on all day and wouldnt be bothered. Biggest problem I have is the noise canceling headphones are too good, I often have to take them off to have little convos on the side, while gaming, its not a huge issue after all it is the purpose of them, so they do their jobs well. Anyways, I really think you shouldnt over look these headphones, theyre really the nicest you can get in my eyes for this price range. Hopefully this review will not make you over look the chance to actually get a great headset instead of having to buy another after.

I purchased these because I have other Sennheiser products which I really like and I needed a new headset for use with Vent/Mumble.Ergonomics: To start with these are easy to use, just plug in the mic in and headphone out jacks into your computer. Programs like Vent require you to choose your input/output device which is easy enough. The cord seems long enough for a PC headset, if you needed something more than 5 feet long you might have a problem. The mic isn't reversible so it will always be on the left. The build seems solid to me, I've had mine for only a few weeks though. The mic can be bent to place it properly. The headband is adjustable and should fit most people's heads just fine. I find that the headset gets uncomfortable pretty quickly. I wear glasses which exacerbate the problem, but even when I'm not wearing my glasses these make my ears hurt.Sound: I was very pleased with the sound quality from these compared to headsets of this kind I have used in the past. They sound crisp and have reasonable range, in my opinion this type of headset generally lacks in sound quality and you shouldn't expect these to produce what over the ear headsets and ear subs produce.Microphone: The microphone produces a clear sound and I was told a few times that I sounded clearer than my previous headsets. There are a few negatives that are rather annoying though. The microphone seems to lack sensitivity, on both vent and mumble I turn the sensitivity all the way up and I nearly have to put the mic in my mouth for it to pick up my voice at a normal talking level, I find myself talking loud all the time so that the mic will pick up my voice, If I use push to talk on these programs it is less of a problem, but I don't prefer using push to talk. The up side to this problem is that it doesn't leave an open mic or pick up back ground noise. There is no mute button which I would have liked, if your using push to talk that won't matter.Recommendation: Pass on these, although I really like Sennheiser's sound quality the ergonomics and mic sensitivity make these not worth buying.

Length:: 4:49 MinsSennheiser's PC 320 may not be the most stylish headset available compared to others available on the market, however it does have a really nice solid feel to it.The past headsets I've used for the PC connect via a wired USB cable or a wireless USB dongle, this one however splits off into two; a 3.5mm headphone jack(port normally coloured green) and a 3.5mm microphone jack(port normally coloured pink), both these ports are standard for desktops and laptops, however do double check you have them just in case.The audio output from the headphones I found to be of really good quality and it's really easy to adjust the volume by sliding the circle around on the right-hand side. Though I was very impressed with the sound it can't output much bass, so for those who like that extra kick in bass, you are looking at the wrong product.When I first used the microphone, I initially had a problem with the microphone volume, even when putting the microphone volume to it's maximum it was far too quiet, but after fiddling with the microphone cable the volume went to as it should and since then I've had no problems at all, so it's highly possible it may have been my computer having a funny 5 minutes.The clarity of the microphone really blew me away, the voice output was crystal clear and to date has got to be the best headset microphone I've owned.Comfortability wasn't too bad, it fits well on my head and is easily adjustable, I can wear these for about 3 hours before feeling any kind of discomfort which for me is really good, I do have sensitive ears so small amounts of pressure effects me more than most other people so others may have a different experience to what I've had.Overall it's a really good headset with a fantastic microphone attached, it may lack a bit in bass but don't let this put you off.

I really enjoy these headphones. I find the headphones to be comfortable. These sound really good. I was actually quite amazed at how well they sounded especially when paired with a nice ASUS sound card that I purchased. I wasn't expecting the surround experience to be any good out of a pair of headphones, but they are good. I'm not saying it's as good as having a 5.1/7.1 high end floor standing speaker set, but it's definitely amazing compared to your standard head phones. This is a very good product. This definitely makes playing pc games more enjoyable. Especially compared to my old stereo speakers which miraculously are still working (they come with an old Dell Pentium 2 computer from back in the day). I also love the long cord that these headphones have.

Sennheiser is a trusted name in the professional audio world, so it only makes sense to trust that they know what they're doing when it comes to headphones with a microphone. While a lot of the other companies make great headsets, Sennheiser is a standard in recording studios for both headphones and microphones. When you think about it in those terms, does it make sense to purchase a headset made by a peripherals company, or one that makes headphones & mics that professionals use?While I consider this product worthy of 5 stars, that doesn't mean it's perfect. The one problem that I've noticed is that the highs are a bit shrill, meaning that the higher frequencies aren't going to be replicated as well as I would like. Keeping in mind that this headset is ~$45, you wouldn't find other companies to do a better job. Every thing else about this headset is solid, as the sound quality is quite good, the mic is clean & crisp, and it even has a long cable with a volume knob & switch to turn off the mic. It's also worth mentioning that these headphones are incredibly comfortable.So if you're in the market for a headset for PC gaming, and want to spend enough to get a quality product, but not bleed your wallet dry, this is a fantastic choice. Couldn't recommend it more.

I've had this headset for about eight months now, and am somewhat disappointed. They are really comfortable, by far the most comfortable headset I've ever had. The sound is indeed pretty good, although I question whether it's really superior enough to warrant the hefty price tag. The cord is wonderfully long, which I love. The on-headset volume control works very well.Now on to the problem. The mic. The mic on my first pair died within a month. It just stopped working without any warning. I never treated it rough at all, and I have no idea what happened. Luckily, it was within the first 30 days after I bought it, so I sent it back to Amazon and got a brand new (not refurbished) replacement as easy as pie. I had the second pair for about five or six months.Aaaaand then the mic died again. As with the first headset, I took good care of it, and have no idea why it stopped. I didn't even use the mic very much. Both times I did plenty of troubleshooting to determine that it really was the mic, and not some sound driver problem, etc. I plugged them into other computers, and tried different mics on my computer. It was definitely a problem with the mic both times.So now I'm stuck having to go through the warranty to get a replacement. But at this point, I'm asking myself if it's worth the hassle. For right now, I just ordered a cheap Zalman clip-on mic through Amazon.At this point, I'm pretty sure I will not be getting a Sennheiser for my next headset.

I've not owned a gaming headset before, never felt the need for one to be honest. However - I was provided an opportunity to test these out and see if they would be somthing I would recommend.My first impression on removing it from the packaging was the look, they were definitely impressive, durable and a solid build. Nothing seems flimsy or cheap, but its also surprisingly lightweight. The wire is quite heavy duty, and pretty long, but some may wish it were a bit longer.The headbar and ears are both covered in comfortable padding. The earpieces swivel slightly in and out, fit very snug on the head. Wearing them w/out them attached to anything blocks out nearly all noise...I could still hear things in the room, but only slightly.Now for sound - Everyone knows Sennheiser is one of the premier names in sound quality, and these are no disappointment. Now these are probably not the headset you want if you're just listening to music in a studio or something - but for a combination of a microphone and comfort and audio quality, I doubt there's any better at this price. Every sound, especially the mid's and high's are exceptionally clear and sharp.The microphone quality, while it is hard for me to tell myself, I've been told it's excellent. I love the boom mic mute by swiveling it to the up posistion, very cool for sidebar conversations, or those bodily noises you don't want heard. :-)My only con with this set of headphones is the cord I think could be a bit longer. Also, I think a carrying bag might be nice to go with these headphones, and maybe a bluetooth adapter/transceiver for those that want the option to go 'cordless'.I would DEFINITELY recommend these to any gamer...
