🎧 Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset (iOS) - In-Ear Headphones with Binaural Audio, Active Noise Cancellation, and 3D Sound Recording - Black Review

I've been buying Sennheiser for decades. They fill a small niche with 3D sound recording in video and audio. They are no longer made but I like them so much I bought a second unit. I sleep with them and they are very comfortable to wear. The first set cost $199. Git 2nd set on Revain for $99. Love them and use them daily.

Very handy...but I had to crank the volume to the max and it still sounded awful. It's not noise canceling at all. For someone who only buys noise-cancelling products, this would be the worst. I really want to have a good alternative pair because I don't want to use my AirPods Pro everywhere and risk charging them. I haven't found anything yet.

I just didn't like that Sennheiser's design could be as bad as I thought. I started trying alternative mounting options for these headphones. I have found that I have no way of wearing them as intended and getting a proper seal. So in the picture you can see what I found that might allow them to make a proper seal. A slight twist can make them tight. They sound incomparably better. They seem to be holding up well. This is a fantastic discovery for me! In general, I think the semi-rigid or rigid

Extremely poor quality control! I mean very bad. I got one and the connector was really bent. So they sent another one and guess what he's thinking, except this one has a scratch on one of the headphones. So I couldn't order another replacement so I ordered another one with the same connector but this time the buttons feel too hard compared to the others. The worst thing is that it is assembled in America. China is definitely doing some of the best things, but they are also doing some of the…

In short: I highly recommend these headphones/mics if you need binaural audio recording capabilities (and you use iOS devices). All you need is a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Clarification: I like these headphones mainly for the binaural audio they can record. The only problem is that they are not very well made (more on that below). The following will probably tell you everything you need to know about how I feel about these AMBEO headphones/mics: I just bought two more because: 1. My…

Binaural recording is great! I recorded a group of people talking outside. I then played the recording through the headset with everyone in the same seats. The effect was surreal. The spatial separation was so good that I struggled to tell the difference between the recorded and live sound. If you're unfamiliar with binaural recording, it takes advantage of the fact that sounds coming from different directions scatter and diffract around your head and ears in slightly different ways (the…

I bought black ones and they came in the original box. They were sold (especially through Apple) in white, but many places sold black as well, so they were real and not fake. They work as advertised and sound good like headphones. They come with a small cloth pouch for storage and a set of headphones in different sizes. I've been experimenting with 3D audio and it works very well, especially for closer sound sources. They're fun to use and as long as you understand the limitations you can…

I'm fairly tech savvy but not that savvy with Apple products. I would like to improve the performance of my work phone (iPhone), not only the clarity of the conference call, but also other advantages that the iPhone offers. The included headphones were ok but not the best and not comfortable for a long conference call. I was looking for a cheap yet comfortable headset for the iPhone (any other features would be a bonus). Thanks to Apple, if you're not using WiFi, you don't have much of a…
