Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser PC 350 Collapsible Gaming Headset with Vol Control & Microphone Mute
Digital camera Review: Awesome headset for GAMING
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a few headsets (Logitech Pro, AD700,Sens595, TBx1,x4) I play competitive level for Call of Duty games and Halo. Before I purchased the pc350 I was using my Sens 595 or my AD700 with the zalman mic. The sound stage is great BUT the issue is the mic. I have a fan or ac blowing in the room not to mention my two dogs, the mic picks up that sound. I need a more versatile and adaptable headset w/ mic. The AAI found the PC350. The first time I used it i thought this headset was terrible. I read posts on audiophile sites and one big thing is you have to burn it in. I have never believed in it, I always thought it's a myth BUT it works. I connected my PC350 to my spare PC and just had it run hours and hours of music (ranges for hip,hip,rock,house music,ambient,white noise) make sure it's random. after 100+ hours I cannot believe my ears it's like a total different headset out of the box with booming highs,lows,mids and bass (YES is said bass) +I use an ASTRO MixAmp+. Also, is see in hear people giving negative reviews for music? who cares, this headset is made for GAMING. To me the sound stage is EXCELLENT just like my ad700 and the mic is super clear. People online tell me that my voice is the clearest that they have ever heard from anyone. The exact words was "my voice sounds CRISP"
note- mic on this DOES not pick up my fan nor my dogs. If you have a soft low voice or you whisper the mic will not pick it up. You have to talk "normal" tones.
Anyways, I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any question)\
ps: as far as negatives nothing yet so far
Digital camera Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, the shipping was exactly on schedule. The item came in a very impressive, hard to open, box. Upon first glance at this bad boy, I was really astounded by the professional look, feel and construction. I immediately plugged it in and went online to Call of Duty 5. Not wanting to play and just check out the sound, I went in spectator mode. As soon as the map loaded, I thought my eardrums were going to burst, as a grenade just went off nearby. Coupling this monster to the Auzentech X-Fi-Forte 7.1 and turning on the 3-d surround sound mode was like I was really there. The 3-D positioning is absolutely perfect and realistically clear. Whoever complained about the lacking bass was very wrong. Playing with the equalizer can really make the bass boom in your ears. The highs are crisp and clear. I use Ventrillo and was told I never sounded better. Microphone is very sensitive, you can practically whisper in it and the sound activation detects. Music wise, I went to Windows Media Center for a quick sound demo. Excellent. However, I did have to crank down on the higher frequencies on my equalizer. They were set very high for my cheaper headset. No distortion at loud volumes. The earcups will, after a while make your ears hot-not sweaty. The ambient noise is practically nill with these on as they cover your whole ear, and I have a very large head. The mike boom is expandable and firmly holds whatever position you put it in. I found the best position to be a little higher than your mouth. These are truly a beautiful, expensive looking and sounding headsets. The frquency response is above and beyond the norm 20-20, not usually found on other sets. While in game play, I keep taking them off thinking someone in the house is trying to talk to me but found that they were sounds I never heard before-people talking in the background. It really isn't overpriced for what you get. Going to the Sennheiser website I found a merchant (in Germany) that was selling these for over $500!!! When they first came out. If you want to hear ALL the EAX sounds in your game, as clear as clear can be with precise positioning, do youself a favor and get these.
Only complaint is ears do get hot after a while, but removing for a minute corrects this. They are comfortable. The volume control does not shut the sound off completely, just lowers it to a certain level less than your main volume setting. Very long cord should allow you to get off your chair and walk a few feet away for whatever you might want.
Digital camera Review: Awesome! I love this headset
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd like to start off by saying that I've had this headset for about a year. The sound quality is awesome. The headphones are secure against the side of your head, but don't even touch your ears. This is the first headset I've ever been able to wear for hours without any discomfort at all.
The cord is also very sturdy. I've run over it a few times with my computer chair and even got it caught in the wheels a few times and the cord wasn't damaged at all.
The mic works well even though I only use it once in a while. It can be moved out the way when you're just using the headphones.
The only problem is the in-line volume control as mentioned before. lowering it all the way only brings the volume down to about 50 percent. If you just adjust the computer volume to where you want it, you shouldn't have to adjust it very much anyway.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a high quality headset.
Digital camera Review: Bad Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
When I received the first one, I was surprised at how bad is the quality of sound and the Mic. Were extremely noisy, so I thought I got a defective one then I ordered the replacement, it arrived and had the same issues, I have read a lot of good reviews on this headset but my experience with this was terribleDigital camera Review: Ballin

These headphones are very expensive, it was quite the gamble to buy them. But, they are very good and i'm glad that I did, I play WOW and sometimes have my headphones on for 10 hours at a time, these cup my whole ear and drown out any other sound in my house. I highly recommend these to anyone .
