Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser PC 151 Binaural Headset with Noise-Canceling Microphone & Volume Control

Digital camera Review: A disservice to the brand name
Summary: 1 Stars

For simpicity reasons let me paste here what I wrote to the seller:
I am very sorry (for you but mostly for myself) for needing to return the headset.

The microphone is unacceptable, I had to switch to my handset twice because the other party simply could not hear me. Tested it with my wife (I was listening on the other end) it is a thinner lower volume.

One reviewer complained about tinny sound but I figured - since it was only one) - that it may have been a one time defect in the equipment or the user.

By the way, the headband was designed for a square head, with a roundish head you look like an owl. This is a sub par construction. It is a disservice to the brand name.

In addition I would add for this review:
People were raving about comfort and in particularly that it does not fall off if you move. With due respect to those reviewers, what size hat do you wear? Since the whole band - such is the connect of a square to a round - only touches the head on the top and at the ears, it is absolutely prone to fall off if you bend over to pick something up, unless you position the top of the bend towards the rear of your head...

The sound on the phone is deep biased, missing mid-range and highs, therefor bordering on muffled.
Testing the noise canceling feature would be a humorous attempt because if the output volume is inadequate, then of course it cancels any other noise on its own without extra electrical fuss whatsoever...

Back to the drawing board. (This review was based on tel use. (USed: Nortel 452, Plantronics S10 tel amp.)

PS: Oh a funny thing: The inline volume and on-off control(???)... That is placed into the line so far away from the headset (32" to be exact) it would dangle to your thighs. So somebody rolled up the cord and secured it with a piece of wire to shorten it so you would find it where you would expect it. when you unpack it... Great comeback... Hehehehe...
