Great sound, not so great comfort.

ByJonathan D. Schmidton May 2, 2006

Verified Purchase

I agree with most of the reviews here. The PC155 is a great headset overall. The sound quality is great. Volume is more than adequate and fidelity is excellent. I've listened to a great deal of MP3 music through these babies and I am very impressed. Spacial/stereo imaging is great and I've actually heard things in the songs that I have never heard before! It actually shows the imperfections of my MP3 and makes me realize that I probably need to turn up the bit rate when ripping my CDs. The controls are also simple to use, both on the cord and on the PC.

Audio recording quality is great as well. I have tried it with Dragon and recognition works great with it. Playback of recorded sound shows that the sound is a little on the dark side, however. Ps and Bs are a little too hot even though I have tried different mike positions and used the included wind sock.

My biggest problem with the set is in the comfort department. I first feel obligated to tell you that I do not normally wear full coverage headphones. Usually, I wear high-quality buds. So, perhaps I just have to get used to it. However, I feel as though my ears are being squeezed too much with these headphones. Instead of feeling like they are comfortably secure, they feel as though they are too tight and they make my ears hot... even after only 15 minutes.

So, despite my positive review of the sound quality, I am going to send these back and try the PC165. They supposedly have bigger ear cups, which will hopefully translate to more comfort? Other people here have not had problems with the comfort of the 155s so it is probably just me.

UPDATE: I received the PC165 set and there is a big difference. The sound is fuller and bigger (not louder) on the 165s. Also, the comfort is much better. They don't pinch my ears like the 155s. The cord going to the headset is also thicker, which means fewer tangles and less chance of damage. If you're thinking of the 155s, I would get the 165s instead!

Extremely Comfortable

ByMartin H. Harveyon March 15, 2006

Verified Purchase

I purchased the headset to use for Skype via a small laptop USB hub and I have been delighted with their performance. I also have a larger head (hat size 7.3/8) and they fit very comfortably. Unfortunately Skype seems to forget the USB setting every now and again but that's not the fault of Sennheiser. However, two considerations for Sennheiser:

1) I don't need all that cable - couldn't you include a shortish direct USB connection?

3) a semi-flexible bag or container for stuffing into one's laptop bag would be welcomed.

High quality headset for internet telephone

ByHenry D. Friedmanon March 18, 2006

Verified Purchase

I purchased this headset for use with my Mac dG5 and Skype internet telephone. The combination is killer. I cannot compare to other similar equipment as this is my first and only, but for me, the quality is far better than what I have with my phone, and it was really as easy as plug and play. I wish that the headset had thicker and stronger wires; I wish that the headset was more sold. On the otherhand, I have not had any problems with the equipment up to now. And the sound quality during telephone conversations is steller, which is important to me, especially as my hearing starts to deminish. I saw some comments about the headset as an audiophile listening headphone. IMO, this is too complementary. For its price and features, a good buy and good sound quality, but IMO, this is not an audiophile headphone.

Excellent all the way around

ByTimothy Eganon March 4, 2007

Verified Purchase

The Sennheiser PC155 Traditional Binaural PC Headset has been an excellent purchase. I use these headphones for making Skype calls, listening to music, noise control on airplanes during travel, and for making software training videos. In every aspect, these headphones perform. The optional usb hookup works great in both desktops and laptops. The sound is clear and crisp, as is the recording when speaking into the mike. My only issue with these, is the volume control. It doesn't allow you to take the volume too high. This is probably done on purpose for safety concerns. But I think a few extra decibels would have sufficed. Otherwise, these are an all around great performing headset and well worth the money compared to other less expensive headsets found at the electronics stores.

Not for me (or gamers)

ByRubix13on June 16, 2006

Verified Purchase

First off, I bought this headset for gaming, which anyone who enjoys the pastime will tell you how quickly the hours can melt away. Gamers are dependant on an ultra comfortable pair of headphones that we shouldn't be able to feel. I have been searching high and low for the Holy Grail of comfort and I was certain paying $90+ for a "gaming" headset would be the end of my search. Sorry, these guys are going back.

I've tried a couple "cheap" Best-Buy headsets that I found painful to wear after an hour or so. Then I decided to spring for "top of the line". I wore these for 15 minutes before it became obvious this headset was not the Holy Grail I've been looking for.

The headset itself feels flimsy and cheap. The padding is made of an itchy fabric, and even on my small head, it feels tight. The earphones do not cover my ears and I can feel them slowly being crushed. I'm not impressed with the sound, but I could overlook that if they were comfortable to wear. I didn't even bother to try the mic.

If this is how Sennheiser makes their high end gaming equipment, I think it's safe to say I will avoid these guys in the future. The $30 pair of Aiwa's I wear at work are more comfortable than this and sound the same... if only that pair had a mic.

*My ears still feel uncomfortable after taking the set off and then writing this review- I couldn't imagine wearing them for a few hours while gaming. If I find the perfect pair I'll let you all know.
