![JENSEN JWR Remote Control Y Cable for JMS Sers. [JEN-JWRYCBLS]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/514YvYUPCfL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I just received these as a replacement for my old "plantronics audio .326" that I accidentally wrecked. I gotta say, I've owned lots of headsets in my life and these are easily the best sounding that I've ever owned. The highs are clear and crisp, and the lows present and tight all without being overwhelming. I haven't made or received calls with it yet, but I tested the microphone with a loopback and it sounds good. The cable is nice and long in order to reach my pc, and the control on the line isn't excessively heavy, although I know it's there and it will pull on the headphone wire a bit if it's hanging. I've had them on for about 2 hours now, and they seem a bit tight on my ears. I do wear a size 7 3/4 hat, so it's probably my large head. I'm hoping that repeated wearing will stretch them out a bit. The ear pads themselves are foam, and have no covering. That's exactly what I wanted, since the leather (or pleather) covering tends to rub off - and makes my ears sweat. I'm a convert, and I'll certainly buy other sennheiser products in the future. It really seems like they are thinking a lot about the quality of their product, and not just competing for prices.
So , I've owned these now for a while. They're still awesome. The microphone works great. I've only had one complaint about my fan blowing across the mic, which apparently sounded like I was standing outside in a storm. They seemed to have stretched out ever so slightly, so they still sit tight on my head without hurting my ears. I'm able to wear them for hours on end, and enjoy music and take calls. The volume control/mute switch thing can be a bit annoying at times, but it's totally manageable. I'd buy these again in a second.

I've used these almost every work day since I bought them, and only retired them 6 months ago because I bought a bluetooth headset. Honestly, I might go back to these since I'm not very happy with the audio quality of my new bluetooth headset. They still work great. The only "problem" is that the volume control pot has gone a bit scratchy. Being a long-time musician, that's a problem I'm very familiar with and really don't consider it a big problem. If these were bluetooth, they'd be absolutely perfect for phone use.

Amazon / Sennheiser could have done a better job of explaining this product

Meh -- Here are the Pros and the ConsPros:1) Sounds great, as you would expect2) Microphone seems to work well. I work from home and I use this headset to communicate across the country, so I need to be heard.Cons:1) It's crazy wide, for people with really fat heads. This sort of just rests on my head. And if I shake my head it shoots across the room.2) It doesn't connect into a normal 3.5 mm plug. It plugs into TWO 3.5 mm plugs. That's weird, right!? Maybe I'm out of touch? 10 years behind the times? But the smart phone that I use to work from home only has one 3.5 mm plug. So I had to buy an extra $8 attachment that takes 1 audio 3.5 mm plug + 1 mic 3.5 mm plug and converts it into 1 "normal" 3.5 mm plug that I can use on my phone. (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE)So it's very possible I missed in the product description, but you might need to buy another attachment if you want to use this to work from home.

If you want a non-USB headset these are very good.

Good for the price, but some drawbacks that really prevented me from truly liking it
