Type of review

Good sound in and out. The USB controller has limited functionality with the softphone I use for work. Volume and call start and end do not work on my version of the Mitel softphone, but mute does. Overall good sound and you can adjust how much of your own voice comes back to your earbuds. I can tell if the noise canceling feature will do anything. Upgraded to 5 stars after some use. The sound quality of the phone is excellent. It is very useful to find the volume control and turn off theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent
Cons
  • Neutral

wiring problem? No sound no mic

Based on the reviews I want them to work and I have the sound I expect from this brand. My headset is registered to my Windows 10 computers, I was able to adjust the volume etc. However, there was no sound in the headset and the microphone was not working. I suspect something is wrong with the mini jack used to connect the USB device. I sent them back the same day - so no damage apart from an unexpected trip to the UPS store.

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • Some flaws

Heavier than I expected

These on-ear headphones are heavier than I expected. So if I tilt my head too much, they immediately slide off. I was able to "tighten" them a bit by twisting the headband and pushing the earcups together a few times, and that seemed to help. Otherwise they are fine. I wanted all round headphones for listening to youtube videos and such and they are quite adequate for that. The ear cups are comfortable, the ear cup height adjustment is in the headphone strap and they can be a bit stiffer asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Weight

No technical issues with Windows like I've had with MPow products

I bought this having originally bought MPow HC6 headphones which kept being plugged in and unplugged from my system. I've tried every solution you can think of by searching online forums for answers. I finally bit the bullet and spent more than I planned on these Sennheisers and still no problem! I put them in my USB stick and Windows installed the driver and so far there hasn't been a single plug and unplug that I've experienced with the MPOW product. Not very pleasant on the ears, butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • No paint needed

keeps connecting and disconnecting from my system. I've tried every solution you can think of by searching online forums for answers. I finally bit the bullet and spent more than I planned on these Sennheisers and still no problem! I put them in my USB stick and Windows installed the driver and so far there hasn't been a single plug and unplug that I've experienced with the MPOW product. Not very pleasant on the ears, but certainly acceptable for hours of meetings. I know what a star ratingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Modern style: an attractive headset design that looks good in the office and on my daily commute
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Very good headset, the best among audio and video accessories

I've been using this headset for a week now and am pretty happy with it After working from home for several months with no end in sight I decided to go broke and buy myself a headset. My company will buy one but they keep testing and not working properly. I use it connected to my laptop but it also works on my phone. The cord is really long, maybe 6 feet or more, which I like. I have a small, narrow head so I need to adjust as little as possible, hence the earcups have a slight tendency to move

Pros
  • High definition sound: equipped with Sennheiser high definition stereo sound for clearer and more natural communication and entertainment
Cons
  • Big and chunky

SC 135 does not work on iMac.

This headset doesn't work. I will clarify the nature of the problem. I bought an SB 135 headset (with microphone) for online learning due to the coronavirus. I connect it to my iMac (desktop). I started by plugging the USB into a USB hub but then went straight to the back of the iMac where there are USB port jacks. I went to the usual Settings -> Sound section, and the input and output options for the SB 135 are there. I have input and output set to SB 135. Microphone and ear not workingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 2-in-1 headphone styles: Choose between soft leatherette or lightweight acoustic foam for maximum comfort
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
