Advantages: Great crisp sound, excellent fit Disadvantages: Lack of volume control with Xbox 360
Having worked in call centres before I was quite disappointed to learn that Microsoft's official headset for the Xbox 360 was just like the one I was accustomed to, you know the one that pulls half your hair out when you take it off and makes you look like one of the chickens on that car insurance advert, therefore you can imagine my delight when the new SennheiserPC 120 arrived at my door.
The headset ( as you can see from the picture below) goes with the more modern bluetooth style that fits comfortably over and into your ear, you can also switch between your left and right ear depending which way feels more comfortable. When you first see the connections on the end of the headphones you think to yourself, "now where am I going to stick that on my 360's controller" due to the 2 x 3.5mm jacks (I will explain these later) on the end ...
Advantages: Comfortable, good quality sound, excellent microphone Disadvantages: Bit bulky for my laptop bag
After starting to experiment with Voice over IP (VoIP) on the PC, I decided I needed a headset with microphone to make the experience more pleasant for me and the person on the other end of an internet based call.
A load of searching for something suitable popped up the SennheiserPC 155 USB amongst quite a few others. At the most expensive available, it was going to take a lot of convincing to get me to part with some cash for these!
Past experiences with Sennheiser had been good, and I knew they made quality stuff, so I decided that these were good contenders.
I was after USB attached ones as it is generally easier to just plug and play a USB connector than fiddle with a headphone socket and a microphone jack. So I ordered these.
The headphones arrived in a blister pack - a pet hate of mine - give me a nice recycleable ...
Advantages: I cannot ask for more. Disadvantages: Why not?
The M 145USB is excellent, but not outstanding. It is a very thoughtfully, and well designed product. One cannot ask for more from a headset, but why cannot Sennheiser, the earphone specialist, make something which is unusual? I have grown to be very comfortable with my headset. The headset has a USB which is connected to a USB slot, to get sound. This is very convenient, as one can connect, and disconnect the USB with ease, from the front panel of the PC. One has not to bother with the green plug point for the microphone in the front and the back of the PC. In the beginning, when I purchased the headphone, the PC used to load the driver in the USB of the headphone, which I found very geeky, and very pleasantly so. Now, my PC doesn't have to bother to load the driver. The 'M' stands for 'Macintosh', as in Apple, and the 'M' 145USB ...
