Sennheiser PC 7 USB Headset

The PC 7 works great on my PC. My speech comes across very clearly, and although the sound quality receiving isn’t brilliant (it doesn’t seem to have much if any bass, so what you’re hearing can be a bit tinny and it rustles), it’s really not too bad. So 5 stars for what you get for the price.The problem I had though (and I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s not a fault with the product!) is that I’d ended up buying it because I googled “headset Android” and the PC7 came up in the search results as a sponsored ad. The reviews saying the sound quality via the microphone is good swung me and I bought it, but I just cannot get it to work on an Android device, which is what I needed it for. I tried an Android OTG (On-The Go) adapter, which is basically “big USB to little USB” and my devices (LG phone and Samsung tablet) didn’t register that I’d even plugged anything in. I’d tried a standard USB keyboard before with the OTG and it worked fine on the tablet. I got a USB to 3.5mm jack/USB adapter and while the phone registered that I’d plugged something in, it didn’t pick up the headset at all. If Amazon has used Google Adwords including Android in their sponsored ad for this product, they need to take it out.I contacted Sennheiser and they replied to say that the PC7 isn’t designed to work on mobile devices (and as I know, it doesn't!). So if you need a headset to use on mobile devices, this isn’t the one for you – however, the Sennheiser PC5 has a 3.5mm headset jack so just get that one instead. I wish I’d known that before buying the PC7, but at least I can use it on my PC so it’s not a complete waste.

Working remotely from colleagues we use VOIP for multiway conversations, often we want to take notes at the same time so handsfree is good. Have used cheap plastic headphones with mic on a 'stiff wire' - quite terrible. However when you buy a brand such a Sennheiser you expect more - do you get it?The headband is adjustable which is a positive and the springiness of it is a good balance. It offers a firm enough hold to feel confident it wont slip, but not so tight as to feel your head is in a vice.The earphone is very comfortable padded and remains comfortable for long (up to hour) conversations that we have. I've not tried it for a working day so all my comments are in that context.The microphone is mounted as a secure swing boom. The boom rotates upwards towards the headband. The boom does not extend forwards bt this isnt a problem.The sound quality is excellent and the VOIP software / drivers (I don't know which) do a really good job. Sound is so clear. The only negative I have (and its almost universally true of headband earpieces) is the cable seems to make a noise (not signal but physical). I find if I drape the cable around the back of my neck then such noises are minimised.Finally I had presumed the unit would be 2x 3.5mm plugs, however it uses USB connection. A surprise for me but good because the driver / software seems to 'know' to use the headset for VOIP and not playing music.There is no 'mute' switch but that's no problem for me.So was it worth the money. Yes it's reasonable value for money, good comfort and good in use. If they broke, got nicked would I replace them? Yes.

I wear a headset for much of the working day as, working from home, I have an IP softphone on my work laptop.My previous headset, by comparison, was far less comfortable and the sound quality, both receiving and for the microphone, was nowhere as good as these.Lightweight, good quality, good sound quality, good price from a premium brand, you couldn't ask for more.Recommended.BTW - they also come as "Skype certified" and I can confirm that they are indeed good for Skype use :-)

The media could not be loaded. The headset is ok. I bought it for the brand as I have used in the past in a call center. Those were amazing but not this one. May be this is a low cost entry level product. The noise suppression works good on low level noises like you are in seperate place atleast 10 feet away from all. But if the person in your adjacent seat i.e, 4 feet, the mic picks up their voice too. I tried with MS Teams, WebEx, Google, Slack, and WhatsApp meetings, it's all the same, tried all directions rotating my chair and it's almost the same. Verdict is working from with minimal noise this is ok. But office use with little higher noise level this is not fit for purpose.

I got these for work and they are a good headset and fit great

Just a month of using them a noise starts to appear while they plugged into pc. Very hard to hear other side. Disappointing!

nearly all is up to Sennheiser good quality.the only catch is the rather short USB cable. If you can work around this, it is good value for money

This headset only works on left ear so if the usb connection is to your the right it is a problem. I assumed it would work on either side. The photo on amazon is misleading and this is not mentioned in the description.
