Review on Sennheiser PC 8 2 Cancelling Microphone by Anson Chen ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

The headset works fine on a laptop, but when connected to a tablet via an OTG cable, problems emerged: the Zoom application (namely the application, not the web version) does not see the headset at all, the sound in the headphones is at the limit of audibility, the volume wheel does not affect anything at all. At the same time, on the same tablets with the same connection via an OTG cable, the Skype application works fine with the headset. The experiment involved a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet (with a USB type C connector) and a Huawei tablet with a micro USB connector: each had the appropriate OTG adapters. The results are the same: the headset does not work with Zoom, it works fine with Skype. Therefore, I still rate the headset highly, but I can’t keep silent about the problem either. To work, I need Zoom as an application on a tablet, and not as a client on a laptop, so the inability to use the headset was disappointing.

Pros
  • Overall lightweight design, sensitive microphone
Cons
  • It turned out that on the tablet, some applications do NOT support (do not recognize, do not turn on, I don’t know what exactly they don’t do) the headset. The problem is not the headset itself, but, most likely, applications, but a headset was bought to work with them, but here such a bummer.
