Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser PC 350 Collapsible Gaming Headset with Vol Control & Microphone Mute
Digital camera Review: Comfortable, but doesn't play nice with onboard sound
Summary: 5 Stars
Very comfortable, though your ears can get a bit warm from being completely closed off to outside air. Sound is good, if a bit weak. Based on other reviews, it's probably because I'm using onboard sound and not a separate card. Microphone is good and construction is very sturdy. I expect this to last me a couple of years.Digital camera Review: Comfortable, well-built, but lacking bass.
Summary: 4 Stars
Great phones. The build quality is good. They look cool, they seem like they will last quite a while, and they fold up so they are semi-portable. They are very comfortable. The mic is awesome. The rubber on it seems like it is very high quality and the mic can be bent closer or further from your mouth. The sound quality is really good, but the bass and midrange are terrible. Seem like they would be well-suited for classical, but with rap and metal these phones leave me wanting. However, there is a very easy modification that can be done to these phones that is said to increase the bass and midrange output drastically. To the point that they are actually up to par with their price range. [...]
overall, this is a great quality headset, but I expect much better sound quality from a headset that costs over a hundred bucks.
Digital camera Review: Decent not worth full $250 price but at $140 not bad
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a good quality head set. Seems sturdy so far and is pretty comfortable after 3 to 5 hours straight of useDigital camera Review: Deserved 5 star rating
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me begin I am a skeptic of headset comfort, second to sound quality, and third to microphone quality. All are very important in my rating, and without one of the three factors mentioned, I wouldn't rate the product higher than a 2. However, this headset DESERVES 5 STARS!!!
Backlog: I have both a big head (12.5 inch circumference!) and I wear glasses. Both my large cranium and glasses usually do not mesh well, actually at all, with gaming headsets. With my previous gaming headset (Logitech clear chat) I could game for about 1-2 hours before brewing a massive headache, then I would have to switch to my lame 2 desktop speakers. I was in desperate need of a comfortable gaming headset that had great sound and great mic quality.
Enter Sennheiser PC 350 Gaming Headset:
Extremely comfortable; I have had the headset for about three weeks. Don't let this fool you on testing. I am a college student with lots of time on my hands! Over the last three days I have put in 15 hour gaming sessions, per day, (Mass Effect 2~ I was sucked in!!) and I didn't have to re-adjust or take off the headset once. The cushions on these puppies are thick, VERY sound dampening, and plush. My ears (also large) fit nicely in the cups without any contact. The ear cups (don't know what to call them) completely envelop my ears and create a nice seal (even with my thick nerd glasses). The headset is very adjustable; the ear cups swivel, and articulate in many positions to fit against your head. The head strap has many different levels of adjustment, to raise or lower the ear cups on your head. The microphone is also conveniently adjustable; a majority of the mic arm is made of hard plastic, but a portion of the arm is made of a highly flexible rubber which allows for nice positioning of the mic (Also when not using the mic it can be swung into a 'out of the way' upright position). The mic, and all of the headset for that matter, is of excellent build quality. The sound is AWESOME! :D The highs are crisp, and the bass is very deep (deepest I have heard from a headset, and I have professional Sony studio headsets). As I said before the ear cups are very sound dampening. My wife three feet from me cannot get my attention without tapping me on my shoulder. (~I read about the level of sound dampening in previous reviews and they were totally right: the headset is so quiet that your house could be burning down and you wouldn't know it) My wife sits next to me on her computer with her music blasting, and I can delightfully sight next to her and not have to listen to it. ;) Basically the sound dampening provided from the nicely sealed thick ear cups is excellent!
Conclusion:
I researched the heck out of this headset, and many others; This is my personal winner, and in my opinion, one of the best headsets out. I always base my decisions upon user's reviews and professional online reviews. I am happy to say that the Sennheiser PC 350 Gaming Headset is the nicest, high quality headset, that I have ever owned. I am also pleased to tell those of you reading this review that this headset is most worthy of your purchase.
I hope this helps those of you needing user input and opinion. Best of luck on your purchase ;)

Digital camera Review: Designed Well
Summary: 5 Stars
The price does seem steep for gaming headphones but after spending the money for the baracuda headphones and they breaking within six months of regular use I decided to try Sennheiser. So far they have worked great no problems what so ever with the voice audio working great, it is easy to set up through your computer. Definiantly worth the money for this type of quality and the comfortis nice as well. I haven't had any sore ears fromconstant hours of gameplay.
