Sennheiser PC 120 Headset

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 Sennheiser PC 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...

Review of Sennheiser PC 120 Headset

Headset built to last

Advantages: Great sound quality, comfortable ear pads, mute & volume controls
Disadvantages: Ears hurt after long use (very small disadvantage)

...The Sennheiser PC 151 Headset was designed specifically for avid gamers who want to avoid disturbing anyone (neighbours and family) from the noise created by speakers. This particular headset will be perfect for gamers who tend to play for long hours as the headphones as well as the head strap are padded with a soft cushion material, intended to provide maximum comfort. Although, designed specifically for gamers, the Sennheiser headset can be used for other purposes such as listening to music on a mobile phone or mp3 player on the go as well as for any other use. With the addition of a microphone protruding out of the ear phone on the left, gamers can now talk to their gaming buddies whilst playing their games. This also means that they would not have to buy two separate devices (headphone + microphone) in order to fully enjoy...

Sennheiser PC 130 headset

Advantages: Good sound quality, cheap price, long cable, microphone.
Disadvantages: Painful during and after prolonged usage

...I have owned a Sennheiser headset for about 8 months now, and have, on the whole been slightly disappointed by it's performance. Looks: The Sennheiser PC 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...

Review of Sennheiser PC 130 Headset

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...Logitech Dialog 812 Headset When I purchased my Logitech webcam, this Logitech Dialog 812 Headset was on a discounted price. My old headset 's microphone was dead at that time so I decided to buy this headset. The Look The first time I used this Logitech Dialog 812 Headset was when I was having a conversation with my sister online. She complimented me on my new and nice headset but she said I could have looked like an aircraft pilot with it if I wore white tops with a necktie. The headband The headband of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset is wider than other headsets that I have seen but it is considerably lighter. It is designed like a double band at the top but it gets narrower at the sides. The headband is actually adjustable depending on the head's parameter. The point where the double-headband ends at the side...

Sennheiser CX300 - a great upgrade earphone

Advantages: Great sound clarity, very comfortable
Disadvantages: Higher frequencies not as refined as other earphones

...Listening to music... a great British pastime, and something I enjoy every day. It comes as no surprise, mainly because it has been said many times before, that the earphones bundled with the iPod, or any MP3 player, are not brilliant. The iPod earphones are better then most, but for a small investment you can get a lot more music for your money. Sennheiser are well known for their high quality offerings, but this needn't break the bank. Their CX300 earphones weigh in at under £20 and are available in either black, white or silver. They come supplied nicely packaged with small, medium and large ring adaptors for a comfortable fit. Of the three colours I really like the black, which are accented with silver rings. Being the in-ear type of headphone, comfort is very important. Out of all the earphones I have tried, these win...

XBL COMMUNICATION HEADSET FTW!

Advantages: Value for money.
Disadvantages: Some problems.

...The Xbox live communicator headset is an accessory that comes with Xbox Premium Console and Xbox elite controller and is one method of using the voice messaging services on Xbox live, The headset itself connects to the Xbox 360 wireless controller via a cable only. During this review I will discuss several concerns that affect the usage of this headset. Usability The headset itself connects easily to the XBOX Wireless controller and the connecter itself never disconnects whilst using, this is a perfect design feature as a lot of other headsets use basic audio input sockets(like on a cd player) which aren?t very reliable. The connecter has a switch on it that allows you to turn of the Microphone which is useful if some come in real life is talking to you whilst playing the game. The cable itself you would think be annoying being...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Communicator Headset (Live)

Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Advantages: Long Lasting, Small
Disadvantages: Must Be Charged

...Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset This Xbox 360 wireless headset is definitely a long lasting microphone, which is quite durable. One thing which I like about this headset is that its much more comfortable to wear compared to the original Xbox 360 Headset. Another advantage about this headset is that its wireless so you don't need to bother with any wires. The only disadvantage about this product is that it has to be charged. The battery life for this wireless Headset is about 8 hours and it takes about 3 hours to charge fully. You can use this wireless headset to listen and talk to your friend on Xbox Live. I paid £35 for my wireless headset and it was well worth the money. I recommend this product to all potential buyers....

Sennheiser CX 300

Advantages: Sound quality, bass, ability to block out background noise
Disadvantages: Very flimsy for the price and no case included

...I bought these roughly a year ago and they only lasted a few months. The sound quality is very, very good. Having been stuck using the basic iPod earphones prior to these, the CX 300 were a refreshing change. The bass on them is certainly more than adequate. Although some in-ear headphones don't block out background noise very well you won't have that problem with these. As long as you have the correct sized cover on the headphones the background noise will be blocked out completely meaning you can have your mp3 player on below half max volume and hear the music very clearly. Prior to these I'd never used in-ear headphones before and was somewhat concerned as to whether they'd be to hard and rough on my ear. The Sennheiser however are very soft, not too large and quite easy to use. So, why didn't they last me very long? The wire...

Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless headset

Advantages: Great looks, handy charge cable included
Disadvantages: Not great sound quality, no play and charge facility

...The microsoft xbox 360 wirless headset is very attractive and fits the ear very well - at least it fits mine anyway. The headset isnt particularly good at picking up quiet speech though, which is often a let down during games that require alot of detailed communication for tactics such as Gears Of War 2 or Call Of Duty WAW. The headset is priced at £34.99 RRP, which i think is quite reasonable for what you're getting. The headset comes with full instructions and a charge cable that plugs into the 360's USB point. It cannot be used in a play-and-charge situation which gets annoying so you have to leave it overnight to charge. It is mcuh less cumbersom that the various wired headsets on the market and has a good range using the 360's infra red technology system. There is a small silver button on the side used to turn the headset...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

on headsets

Advantages: comfy all day wear
Disadvantages: loud feedback

...This headset is a bit expensive for its quality. Although i bought mine outside the country for a considerable lesser price, had i known better, i would have bought a wireless one. It is still functional after two years. I lost both of the voice tube microphone cover though and i think that is whats causing too much echo when i talk and too much mic sensitivity. That also causes alot of feed back so i have to press on mute all the time, and everytime i am done speaking, to avoid the feedbacks. On the upside it supports all Plantronics amplifiers and USB-to-headset adapters so i guess i just have to get one. It is also comfortable to wear for long hours. I would not recommend to get leatherette ear cushions, that made my ears sweat and itchy eeks....
