Sennheiser PC 26 Call Control

Great audio, excellent compatibility (PC, Mac, and linux). Mic sensitivity is good, and the mute switch works. Rubberized coating is a nice touch. Only gripe is that the cord is TOO long. Would appreciate some sort of in-line winder like the...

Don't buy it

It does what it's supposed to

Poor sound quality, uncomfortable, expensive, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in every time I turn my PC on just to use it. I have had much better headsets for half the cost. Look for something else or you will end up regretting it just as I have

Don't buy if you want to use on your right ear.

I should have read the reviews first yes, but I also think this should be in Newegg's decription.

Good price, sound quality is good but one major problem for me anyways

This product is for the left ear only, being deaf in my left ear I have been wanting to try a single headset for a while since stereo is a waste. Very miffed as to why they would make a single headset like this and limit it to left ear only. How hard...

Great headset

Not designed for use on right ear. Not a problem for me, but noteworthy.

Noise reduction is excellent on this headset. Sound quality has been great as well

Generally feels flimsy. I'm concerned about its longevity, though I presume this is intentional in an effort to decrease the weight of the headset in situations where it's worn for hours on end

I have rarely been disappointed with Sennheiser products and absolutely love this headset - my company recently switched to VOIP and I needed a headset for traveling. Pros: Light and comfortable Excellent sound quality - not quite as good as the...

Wrong item

I ordered this item from ANTOnline. Warning, do not do business with them. They sent me the wrong item, and then wanted me to pay extra shipping to get the correct one for their mistake!! I have this headset in the binaural version. It is...

Volume control, Noise Cancelling, Flexible Mic, Awesome headset

The pictures of this item are wrong and doesn't do the headset justice. I am writing this because I am pleasantly surprised by what I received. The PC 26 headset is much better than the one they picture here. It has a solid USB plug that lights up blue...

Great Sound and Comfortable!

Sounds Great. Very Comfortable. BUT - One snapped as I was slightly stretching it open to put over my head -- product it is a bit flimsy. Amazon exchanged it for a new one. I am being much more careful with the new one. But as long as it does not...

Consumer review by: J. Price (amazon.com)

Functional and doesn't comprimise on sound.

I was looking for a cheap replacement headset to replace the one I had been using for years because the cat decided to chew through the wire. Then, I decided to replace "cheap" with "USB." One other factor was that since nobody could ever get my...
