Sennheiser PC 8 USB - Stereo USB Headset for PC and MAC with In-line Volume and Mute Control - Black

Due to Covid-19, I am now working from home on most days. We are doing a lot of video conferencing as result. The feedback I received from a colleague was that the earpiece I was using was really bad and he recommended getting this headset instead. I ordered this but was a little apprehensive at first as my wife did some research and found that the price I paid for was much higher than what Amazon used to sell it for. In addition, this model is a couple of years old. However, whatever reservation I had vanished when the headset arrived. First of all, the mic quality is exceptional. During video conferencing, it sounds way above the rest who were using other mics. If you are looking for a headset with a fantastic mic, get this one. This is its best attribute. The headset uses a USB connection rather than a 3.5mm jack. So it is limited to laptops and devices that has a USB port. Audio quality was also excellent. While obviously not as good as a $300 headset I owned in the past, the audio quality is still very good. I really enjoyed listening to music using this headset. Volume is also good. Overall, this is a very good headset and very good value for what you are paying. As mentioned earlier, I paid more for this headset than what it used to sell on Amazon but I still think that it is worth every cent and a steal for the quality and what I am getting. The selling point for this headset is the mic quality, so if you do a lot of video conferencing or dialog, this will come in handy. Love this product.

They are lightweight and convenient to carry. On the other hand, they do not feel like they fit well in the ear because of their lightness when placed on the head. Also, the parts will break easily if not handled with care. The sound quality seems to be good, as all people rave about the sound coming from this headset. Perhaps it is not only the voice transmission, but also the excellent noise cancellation function. I have been using them for seminars for more than three years now, and they are still working fine as long as I take care of them.

I teach online and bought this headset in order to create tutorials and make comments on student assignments. I have a recording studio and some high quality mics, but needed a simple USB mic for my purposes. The headset is truly plug and play--no drivers or other obstacles to deal with. The headset is recognized by Adobe Flash (very important for teaching online), and every recording program I have, including Adobe Audition, Adobe Captivate, and Studio One. It works within Canvas and Turnitin, for those who work in those teaching environments and want to create audio comments. The audio quality is very good--once you get the mic positioned optimally and make a few adjustments to your sound card settings (I'm still using XP on my work computer). This is designed as a close mic, so the sound quality drops quite a bit as you get a half-inch or so away from optimal distance. But I'm pleased overall with the way my voice sounds in voice-over types of projects-- clear, distinct, just a tad sibilant when the audio gets compressed in some applications. The headband is cheap plastic, and uncomfortable, but with some stretching and positioning slightly in front of my ears, rather than directly on them, I soon forget I'm wearing a headset once I get started on a project. I don't use the headphones at all--they didn't sound very good to me, and I really didn't work with them much--I prefer to listen back to what I've recorded through my studio speakers. But I bought this for the mic quality and convenience of having a headset as opposed to a boom mic, which I was using previously. I'll probably switch back and forth between using this and the Blue Yeti USB mic when it arrives. (Review soon.) I can't comment on longevity, as I've only had this a few days, but I've already logged quite a few hours. Overall, the sound quality is pretty much what I expected after reading reviews.

i did a lot of research prior to purchasing this headset for work, and it paid off. excellent quality microphone, lightweight, and have lasted me at least 3 years of daily use for work. i get compliments on the microphone quality in teams meetings, and even with dogs barking or people acting up around me, the sound cancellation must be incredible to only capture my voice. pretty comfortable, i just need to change out the ear pads and they're probably good for another 3 years. cord length is fine, doesn't need to be super long, and the mute/volume toggle in-line in the cord is great. for the price, you can't beat that quality.

To działa z laptopem. Posiada wbudowaną kartę dźwiękową . Idealny do video konferencji. jedyne słuchawki, które komputer i laptop widzi jako odrębne urządzenie do odsłuchu i mikrofon. W ustawieniach dźwięku ustawić mikrofon jako EPOS PC 8 USB i działać!!!!. Zdecydowanie polecam!!!

Un fois n'est pas coutume et je ne suis pas satisfait du tout de la réactivité fantôme d'AMAZON dans la livraison de cet appareil. Mais commençons par l'appareil, c'est un choix très judicieux pour qui travaille avec un casque sur la tête, c'est l'objectif de cet appareil d'ailleurs ! Il est léger, voire même ultra léger mais son emballage aussi d'ailleurs, qui mériterait d'être un peu plus résistant car arrivé enfoncé sans toutefois de dommage au casque. Le son aux oreilles est de qualité de même que pour celui restitué par le micro, c'est important de le noter ! Pour la résistance des matériaux de construction, il faudra voire après quelques mois d'utilisation car même s'il paraît solide, l'ensemble n'est que plastique. La télécommande intégrée sur le câble est un plus précieux pour usage professionnel. Passons à la gestion de la livraison TNT par AMAZON : notons que j'ai un besoin urgent de cet appareil pour raison pro, mais comme j'ai un compte AMAZON PREMIUM, je ne m'inquiète pas, la livraison est garantie au jour donné. Et le jour dit de livraison, un samedi, je ne vois aucun livreur TNT à l'horizon, dommage d'attendre ainsi en vain pour signer le bon de réception. Je consulte le site TNT sur internet avec les coordonnées du colis et je remarque que la livraison bien que garantie le samedi, est décalée au jour ouvré suivant sans aucune raison ni aucun avis au client qui attend poliment chez lui.... merci TNT de votre politesse. Un petit mot à AMAZON qui me répond un dimanche (si si!) se charger d'enquêter sur la livraison... (ha bon, Colombo a repris du service !) mais çà ne fait pas avancer mon schmilblick ! Bon, je n'ai d'autre choix que de patienter au jour ouvré suivant, donc le lundi et là, rebelotte ! Aucun livreur TNT à l'horizon, la moutarde monte un peu et un nouvel appel au conseiller AMAZON qui me dit ne rien pourvoir faire car un autre s'en occupe déjà ! Bien mais moi je ne vois pas arriver mon colis urgent garanti samedi dernier et en errance avec un livreur TNT perdu sans GPS et un premier conseiller AMAZON qui joue les Colombo mais reste fantôme et inefficace. Et surprise, je reçois dans la journée un mel de TNT qui m'annonce que mon colis ne pourra pas m'être livré samedi ! (merci je m'en étais rendu compte on est lundi quand même !) puis un second qui m'annonce que le colis sera livré mardi. A quand même, il y a donc quelqu'un chez TNT qui se préoccupe des clients ! Je commençais à douter fortement. Et mardi midi, le livreur dépose dans la boite aux lettres le colis tant espéré ! Mais ce n'est pas finit (comme dans la pub !). Mercredi AMAZON réagit enfin concrètement en soirée et m'annonce des regrets pour le retard de livraison et m'adresse un second colis identique ! Alors que la livraison est maintenant effectuée....dommage. Je reçois en effet vendredi un second casque aussi inutile que renvoyé aussitôt. Dommage cette absence de réactivité d'AMAZON mais une fois n'est pas coutume et AMAZON conserve néanmoins toute ma confiance : c'est bien la première fois que j'ai tant de mal à me faire entendre. ------------------------- Aujourd'hui 13 avril, soit un mois plus tard, Colombo doit avoir pris sa retraite car je n'ai jamais eu aucune nouvelle de son enquête, dommage j'aimais bien Colombo moi ! le vrai bien sur..... Et je constate que je ne suis pas le seul client à se plaindre de TNT.... mais qu'en pense AMAZON qui reste dans un silence assourdissant ? dommage, le crédit confiance s'écorne....

Disappointed. Use it to read reports and it is super sensitive to background sounds. I am typing more than dictating. After I wrote this review, I changed the recognition voice program I am using and the difference is amazing. The mics works great !

Lo consiglio sopratutto per chi deve registrare la voce perchè il suono è chiaro e non metallico, come invece a volte capita con altre cuffie. Come suono in entrata sempre chiaro ma non si sentono molto bene i bassi, quindi direi che per ascoltare la musica non sono adatti, ma per lavoro o lezione on line sono perfetti.
