Bang For Your Buck
By Brandon on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2012
I play many FPS games on my desktop PC where having good positional audio and proper voice communication can mean the difference between winning or losing. For the longest time, I had been using larger over the ear headphones and headsets, which in all honesty cause discomfort after prolonged use. I wear glasses, so larger headphones cause soreness of the ears after a while. After reading some reviews of this headset from a few different sources, I decided to give these a try. Needless to say, I could not be happier with this headset. I have played games, listened to music, and watched movies. The audio quality of the headphones and microphone are exactly what I was looking for. There is plenty of bass, but the audio remains crystal clear throughout the ranges. This headset was easily worth the price it was sold at and I would highly recommend this for anyone who games on the go and/or wants to replace a big, bulky, over the ear headset. It is truly a shame that Sennheiser discontinued this product, grab one while they are still in stock!UPDATE 1/18/2017:I am still using this headset and it has held up perfectly fine for over 4 years. Currently playing games like The Division and Battlefield 1 and in no way has the sound been disappointing. I look back on this purchase as a great investment and would still highly recommend buying these if you can manage to find them for sale anywhere.

The last Sennheiser I will buy
By Alex Turner on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2010
These headphones are the fourth pair of Sennheiser's I have owned in recent years. Unfortunately, these and three others have all suffered the same kind of demise: poor cable construction. In each of the cases, the cable of the headphones let down what were nice sounding cans. I have also owned Sony, Denon, JVC, Blueant and Plantronics headphones and headsets. Of all of the makes I have used, the Sennheiser have consistently had the flimsiest cables of them all, in some cases by far. I had a pair of Sony studio headphones since I was sixteen, and the cable held up to amazing abuse for over a decade until finally the foam ear-pieces started to disintegrate. I found the Denon cans to be an excellent replacement, but I wanted some in-ear style headphones that came with a mic. After losing a couple of pairs over the past couple of years, a friend of mine recommended me these. The feature functionality seemed right, and the price was good. The sound quality is acceptable, neither stunning nor awful. The fit is average. I've had better, I've had worse. They tend to work lose pretty quickly if you are doing anything but sitting, but that's not atypical for a design like this. The extension chord is a nice touch, but the lack of a USB adapter is kind of annoying, I ended up using one from my old Sennheisers that died, and that worked fine. The carrying case is gimicky, rubber (warning if you are allergic to rubber or latex) and pretty useless. It has a magnetic clip that holds it shut, but it's pretty weak and will fall open in a pocket or bag easily allowing your headset to get damaged. The microphone is well placed, and seems okay, nothing special. Picked up my voice fine.This could have been a 3-4 star product, but the fact that it broke down in less than two weeks of usage, well, that's pretty sad considering it never left my desk.

Meh

Originally used a razer headset before this. The razer headset was not the most amazing product. Bought this product with hopes of replacing it. The earbuds would not stay in my ear unless I forced them in (tried all the different earbud heads). The sound quality was good, the mic was not. If you are looking for a good gaming mic, this is not a product for you. I adjusted as much as I could, but this mic literally picks up everything. I have a fan in my room that constantly blows (I live in Florida, not on me though). This mic is in love with my fan. Received numerous complaints to NOT use my mic in game, which frustrated me beyond belief. Had to go back to my razer headset. For the price, i'd second guess if this was for you.
Good buds

Really good ear buds with fantastic sound quality. The cables are a bit flimsy however, and the mic is iffy. Would not purchase for more than 30 to 40 bucks.
Awesome sound qualitty, but not absolutly comfortable.

Sound and microphone quality is really good.But i think it is not the very comfortable headphones.Headset hasn't any buttons to control phone callings. Left speaker has a short wire and often drop down when i run. Separate audio jacks not very comfortable for phone or tablet, i need to find some join connector. Also jacks has very thin wires.
Great quality headset for my phablet

I have at least 4 other sets of Sennheuser headphones. This headset sounds good and fit my needs. Though, I also needed a StarTech.com MUYHSMFF 3.5mm 4-Pin to 2x 3-Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - M/F to connect the headset to my Samsung Tab Pro 8.4. Once connected, I was pleased with the result.
Great sound, Poor quality make, too bad.

They broke in a months time, even with light use. They sounded great when they worked.
Didn't I return these?

These were pretty bad as I recall. Well, they felt bad, in the ear, almost like plungers sucking the eardrums. I guess that is a good thing depending on how you look at it, as they block out other sounds by plugging up your ears to tight. However I didn't care for that, and I believe I either sold them off to a friend or returned them.The volume control in the wire as I recall was scratchy, and touchy. Touching it would cause a lot of static.The microphone didn't pick up my voice at all until I started yelling. I ended up buying a shotgun mic for that need.
its better then what most of review saids...

I was worried because of so much negetive reviews.. but it actually works pre well. mic and sound are good quality for my pc. Only negative is wires tangle easily and ear pieces are kind of small.. it feels you are plucking into your ears..other then that it's a good product
Perfect set of earbuds for gaming

I bought these earbuds for my son's birthday. He loves them! He uses them most of the day and has had no issues. He has had several headphones but as someone pointed out, if you wear glasses, they interfere with the fit of the headphones. So I took a chance on these and am so glad I did!
