Great Headset

Contacted Sennheiser to find out what I needed to use for home office. J&R had great price and item was available. My existing phone system did not have the earphone option so I needed to purchase a separate phone that was compatible to my system....

supra-aural

These shipped to me from back east somewhere. If you need them in a hurry, like i did, you might want to check into the stock location.

Great sound quality, the microphone is extremely sensitive (had to turn down the gain on my amp to 2 because it was getting feedback). Comfortable to wear for extended periods, and the adjustments on the earpieces are the sturdiest that I've ever...

Speaker ear cups are TINY! There is no way any normal person could have these fit around their ear. MAYBE a newborn, but my toddlers ears wouldn't even fit inside! The ear pieces rest on top of the ear, and the nice covers are comfortable, but they...

Pick something else.

Sits on your ears, not around them. Does not stay where you put them. Blocks no ambient noise. In fact, some ambient sounds actually seem louder with the headphones on. Sound quality is OK. NO mute switch or volume control. Vastly overpriced for...

They can't hear me, and I can't hear them

The main reason I bought the C550 was so I could hear well in conference calls, using both my ears. This headset is comfortable to wear, and it has decent sound reproduction. I'm plugging it into a ShoreTel 265 office phone via the Sennheiser CSTD-01...

Excellent Headset

I've used telephone headsets for a couple decades. Mostly Plantronics and Radio Shack. This is the best headset I've ever owned, by far. The sound quality, both hearing and speaking, is excellent. I can hear better than I've ever heard before. And...

Good but not outstanding

Ultra low weight that makes it confortable to wear for extended periods of time, noice cancelling function very effective. However, no volume or mute button, connecting cable to order separately, I would have expected all this to be included...

The best in noise cancellation

I am an account executive for a precious metals company and I only do business via the phone. I work with 180 other acct execs and we do not have private offices. I work on a live trading floor so having a headset that blocks out the background is very...

Fantastic Headset

I recently purchased this headset for use at work. I am on the phone most of the day and was looking for a really high quality headset. I also work at home and have a server rack in my home office, so the ultra noise cancelling was something I was...
