Review on 🎧 Sennheiser SDW 5036 (507020) - Wireless Dect Headset for Desk Phone Softphone/PC & Mobile Phone Connection with Single-Sided Design, Dual Microphone, Ultra Noise Cancelling in Black by Wayne Ohlrogge

I switched from a Jabra Pro 9470 (single ear) to this single ear headset mainly to improve the mic quality on web calls/video conferencing with Teams/Zoom and also to connect my mobile phone. Personally, I prefer a hands-free headset so I can move around. The range on this headset is decent, I haven't measured it, but I can roam the lobby from my office, probably about 100 feet from a couple of walls. Considering I'm on the phone literally all day, I can't complain about the battery life - I only had to worry about the battery a couple of times in a 14-hour workday. The quality of the microphone is excellent, much better than Jabra and other headsets I have and certainly much better than the laptop's built-in microphone. It's not exactly a Rode mic, but for portability, it's pretty darn good. In terms of comfort, it's fine. It's a bit large in both the ear and temple, so it's noticeable on video calls. I prefer the Jabra sizing and fit, but the Sennheiser sound quality outweighs the sizing issue. Its weakness is typical Sennheiser Bluetooth nonsense. I've had several products including Momentum and they've always had bluetooth cutouts. With this headset, it regularly loses connection with my iPhone - at least once a day. Strange behavior - the phone says it's connected, but there's no sound from the small button on the base. I usually have to turn off the power to correct this behavior. When connected to a PC it's pretty stable, but I'll say that during an important call someone texted me, the audio switched to mobile and I couldn't connect to the computer without turning off the headset. It's an unforgivable accident considering I've been using it for a few months and it hasn't happened regularly. Overall this is a good buy if you like that style of headset (optimized for voice calls) and the mic is excellent.
