5.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable PC gaming headset., December 16, 2005

This review is from: Sennheiser PC 140 On-Ear Headset with microphone & noise-canceling-feature (Personal Computers)

First off, I'd like to say that these are NOT noise canceling headphones.

However, overall I think this PC headset is not only great but the best I've used so far. The reason? I can actually wear these for an extended period of time. I know I've worn them for 6 hours at a time, and I know I can wear them longer.

Compared to Sony's lowest end, behind the neck headphones, these things are so much more comfortable. I can't wear Sony's headphones for more than an hour before the cartilidge in my ear starts to hurt.

I don't know much about sound quality, but they sound pretty good to me. I use the microphone through Ventrilo and TeamSpeak for gaming and everyone has agreed that the sound quality for the microphone is awesome.

Overall, if you don't mind the fact that it isn't noise-canceling, I'd highly recommend these for a low-budget solution.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good headphones + Great microphone, May 22, 2006

These headphones are fairly comfortable, as other users have mentioned. As superaural headphones, they do little to block out ambient noise, but if that's not a concern, they work excellently. Sound reproduction is accurate, with great bass especially. The microphone is very impressive as well. With built in noise-cancelling technology they cut ambient noise in recordings. I tested this product against the one-ear headset PC 120 (also by Sennheiser) and as expected, the sound quality was much higher. I was surprised, though, how much clearer the recorded audio was. Thirty seconds worth of adjustments and I was making crisp, clear audio recordings, with quality unmatched by any microphones I've owned before. Great product Sennheiser!

I have a big head, and so usually the behind the head style earphones feel horrible.

Not these babies. The band wraps comfortably around my head, and they don't irritate my ears. I had no problem adjusting the microphone so my team mates could hear me.

They sound great, music and gaming works fine; the microphone has no problems either. I used it mostly with Ventrilo while gaming, and had no complaints from my team mates.

I've had these for about six months now, and no problems thus far. Just a beautiful headset, and the best in its price range.
