My existing headset looks just like a Plantronics audio 650 USB, but I don't have the USB dongle for it. I have used it with Skype and to narrate online tutorial videos. When I purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10, I wanted to increase my accuracy so I purchased this noise-canceling Sennheiser microphone.

Out-of-the-box looked and felt great. The EQ is a bit odd, like other Sennheiser headsets I've owned in the past; I like it though, because it makes rock music sound great.

Unlike my Plantronics headset, the ear muffs are foam and let my ears "breathe" a little, which keeps them from getting too hot. It is also very comfortable even though I wear it for hours at a time.

The microphone is a completely different story. My voice sounds tinny and the microphone picks up WAY more background noise. It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference with Dragon, but it is definitely worse for Skype, and there's no way I can use it to narrate videos.

I like the Sennheiser sound, but this headset is not at all acceptable as a noise-canceling mic. I am disappointed because I basically wasted my money. Considering that the Sennheiser mic costs about 50% more than my Plantronics, I'm a little disgusted at the outcome.

My husband wanted this headset after reading reviews from other customers. He uses it with his laptop when he makes his long distance calls using Skype. He has some hearing loss, but with this headset, he can hear everyone clearly! Other people say that he sounds clear, too! When he listens to music on his boombox, he hears things he never heard before with his old headset. He says they are very comfortable and loves them! I ordered a pair for myself after trying them! My husband wants to order one of the Sennheiser wireless headsets next. We would recommend them highly! Sennheiser PC151 Over The Head Headset with Noise Cancelling Mic and In-line Volume Control

I own three sets of Sennheiser Earphones, two for my ipod, This model replaced a Logitech pair(the wire on the Logitech broke) that I use primarily for Skype. I highly recommend the PC151 for the comfort, they are very lightweight and don't begin to feel heavy after a long hours of use, their incredible sound quality and the fact that it has an adjustible volume control on the cord. These are worth the extra expense. Works great on a MacBook Pro too!

Good price and good quality. Not as good quality as the high-end Sennheiser phones but still good. The mic is short but very good. I speak softly and the mic doesn't reach my mouth but ppl can still hear me perfectly. I had a Plantronics before and it was bad compared to this.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because it did fit snugly on my head. I want the headphone to fit well even if I move my head a lot. It is better than the Plantronics that constantly fell off when leaning forward.

These are excellent headphones, both in construction quality and sound quality. They are comfortable for long sessions, and the tonal quality and dynamic range are impressive. The earpieces set on the ear, not around them, but are very comfortable. The noise-cancelling feature works very well; those listening on internet chat say the sound quality is excellent, with no static or stray noises.

My first pair had a defective microphone, Amazon replaced it within two days with a fine working replacement.

The microphone is not powered and my Intel Mac requires a powered microphone in the Mic Input jackslot. I had to acquire a USB adaptor, but then it worked perfectly. These do not come with a USB plug, only mini-jacks.

All in all I am very satisfied with these and would highly recommend them.

The quality of my Skype calls have improved tremendously using this headset. Audio is incredible and microphone quality is clear. The speakerphone I had been using for Skype calls was so bad that I had almost abandoned using Skype. With this headset, I can keep using Skype without any problems.

Affordable headset with above-average performance and comfort. The Sennheiser brand are by no means "throw-aways". I'm very pleased.

I was looking for a decent headphone/microphone to create decent quality video lessons at work. I looked around and found these and purchased them after reading so many good reviews. These headphones are amongst the best I have ever heard, especially at this price range. The microphone does a great job as well. Now they double as my lunchtime entertainment, listening to my favorite music. I have a very large head, and with them adjusted all the way out, they fit just fine and are very comfortable. Now they don't see everyday use, but they have held up very well. They are at least a year old now and you would never know it to see them. I am about ready to buy a second pair for home and church sound booth use. If you are on the fence, get off the fence and just buy them, you will not be sorry.

Sennheiser PC151 just is good as other prodcuts from this famous company. Very low price but coming with high quality sound system, comfortable design, really good for listening music and chating online.

I would just like to say that I had these for about 1 month until this headset broke. When they worked, they were very charming and I really appreciated the rich sound. As another reviewer pointed out, these guyz are hot on the ears. I would probably only use this headset for the occasional game of counterstrike and wear some better quality headphones with more breating room for regular listening and gaming.

The fantastic sound that these make in mind, my headphones broke remarkably easy. Personally, I am in my latter teens and I am pretty careful of my gaming equipment. I can imagine someone less careful than me having a far less time span of this headset.

The cord is undeniably too small and thin, that is all there really is to say. I would invest in a higher quality Senn product because they make great sound.
