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.

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: Good sound quality, cheap price, long cable, microphone. Disadvantages: Painful during and after prolonged usage
I have owned a Sennheiserheadset for about 8 months now, and have, on the whole been slightly disappointed by it's performance.
Looks: The SennheiserPC 130 headset is an ordinary headset package. The black and silver color scheme make the product suitable for both office and home; subtle curves and contours add to the sleek and professional appearance of the product.
Practicality: This headset is lightweight and moderately adaptable for different sized heads. It has an easily adjustable,sliding headband that allows plenty of room for the largest of heads.
This headset also comes with a relatively long connection cable which allows free, but limited movement across the room.
The main flaw i have found with this product is the comfortability.
I have found that over prolonged periods of usage, these headphones become ...
