4.0 out of 5 stars 5 star microphone - 3 star headphones, September 28, 2011

First, this is indeed a USB headset;
someone uploaded a picture of a different model
(with the two 3.5mm plugs).
Also, it has a mute / volume control on the (8 foot!) cord.
I'll upload a photo.

Because I bought this headset for voice recognition,
and recording video tutorials,
the low quality headphones are not a problem.
I would recommend looking for something else
if you want high quality sound for music or
FPS gaming.

If your main interest is the microphone,
I can definitely recommend it.
I get very accurate voice recognition with Dragon Naturally;
and clear sound quality when recording with Camtasia.

Update:
I don't have small ears,
so while this headset is light,
the padding is thin
thus I'm not comfortable wearing it for long periods.
I also tend to irritate myself with the cord
wrapping itself up (it doesn't want to become straight).

Let me start by saying I am not a music major and some of the sound clarity a professional would want is probably not the same as my goal for a good headset.

The brand had been recommended to me by a friend who has designed speakers. While he was suggesting a more expensive model (in the $400 range) he said that any Sennheiser headset should be better than most if not all of the competition. He was right.

One of my major goals was to have a headset that would fit and stay on without putting so much pressure it felt like a vice grip. These fit that goal almost perfectly.

I was also impressed with the range of sounds these put out. Many headsets can deliver good bass, but they seem to do so at the loss of some of the higher ranges of sound. These manage to supply a good sound level in a wide range. Violin concerti sound as good as the driving beat of rock songs.

For the price, I don't believe I could have selected a better option.

The one complaint I did have was that the speaker line to USB adapter didn't work well at all. The usb adapter was so loose it almost fell out of the USB plug. I didn't take any stars away from it because I just don't consider this to be worth the loss of any entire star (I would have rated it at 4.5 to 4.75 had the rating been available).

Great brand, decent price, comfortable to wear long hours, work on internet phone for 8 hours a day and it does a great job, sound quality good, people can hear me good, would have liked volume control on set, but not that big a deal, would buy this brand again
