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

Excellent USB Headphones with microphone

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 Sennheiser PC 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...

Review of Sennheiser PC 155 USB Headset

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

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...

Review of Sennheiser PC 151 Headset

Logitech - USB Headset 30

Advantages: Decent sound
Disadvantages: No analog connections and poor recording quality

...The artwork on the box of the product shows a man talking animatedly into the headset connected via his laptop, nothing strange as of yet, apart from the fact that he is sitting in the middle of the park, looking needless to say a complete fool?. Jokes aside, the Logitech30 is conventional in appearance, with closed-cup earpads and a microphone connected to a flexible cable. It sports a USB connection which makes it very easy to connect to your PC or Mac. However, there are no analog connections, which means that you are unable to use the headset with a sound card. Atleast the sound quality is good. It doesn't have the detail of the higher and more impressive models such as the Sennheiser PC155 USB but this is masked to an extent by the high level of volume which it produces. The recording quality is very disappointing...

Logitech Premium USB Headset 30

Advantages: USB for plug and play
Disadvantages: Limitation of soundcard

...After standing on my old head set and breaking the microphone I was forced to go out and buy a new Microphone or new headset. Whilst browsing my local computer store I found this pretty and cheap Logitech headset. At less than 30 pounds and connecting using USB I thought I would give it a go. The head set is a very nice and stylish design with a robust feel and feels very good round your head. With soft cushion padding around the headphones there is an aesthetic feel to the design making it very comfortable to wear. With an acceptably long USB cable it manages to reach to the back of my desk and down to the back of my computer. The main control centre and amplifier for the head set is on the cable about half a foot away from the USB jack, meaning that the head set is a lot lighter than other USB headsets and a lot more comfortable...

Logitech USB Headset Review..

Advantages: Good For The Price
Disadvantages: Easy To Break

...This microphone headset simply plugs into the USB port on any PS2 console. The port is found beneath the controller and memery ports location. It is very easy to install the Headset its plug and play. TheLogitech Headset lets you talk with your online friends, play online games. Headset only comes in one color gray but the color is not to bad in quality. It also has a leather cover on the earphone but very easy to break. The newer versions this unit come with a mute button, while older ones don't but really this is not needed because most online games come with a mute option anyway. The Logitech Headset is very good value for the money but if you want something a bit more sturdy then you will end up paying 2* more. I had one of these and all i got was bad sound quality from the earphone the second problem was i stoped...

Logitech PC Headset 120 Review

Advantages: Cancels out background noise
Disadvantages: Microphone only average

... Overview I first bought this headset a few months ago so that I could use Skype effectively. I was rather sceptical at first because this headset is a lot cheaper than others, although I didn't really know much about them. However, I am still using this same headset after all this time and I am very pleased with it's reliability. The headset is very easy to use and install (simply plug it in!). You may have to fiddle around with speaker and microphone levels on your computer but it is quite easy if you know how to (go to control panel or alter on Skype/whichever program you use). Features The best feature about this headset is the fact that it cancels aout background noise - so there is no horrible noise for anyone you are speaking to. The headset is completely compatible with Skype. It also is a 'behind...

Review of Logitech PC Headset 120 Headset

Harldy notice I'm wearing them

Advantages: Good sound quality, Comfortable to wear
Disadvantages: Microphone not as good as expected

...I don't actually have the pc135 headset but own the pc130 which is basically the same. The reason I bought a new headset is because I'd heard from a friend how much better it is to use headphones plugged directly into the soundcard when listening to music on the pc, and so I bought these for around £30. Lets start with sound quality. I can't fault this headset, sound quality is absolutely superb for such an inexpensive headset. Having compared it to similar manufacturers products on the market such as those from Plantronics, I'd say the Sennheiser came out top every time. This headset is also very comfortable to wear, it has large ear pads which are protected with the usual black foam yet produce a well channeled sound. The headpiece easy adjusts via a sliding mechanism to fit a good range of head sizes., and the microphone is...

Review of Sennheiser PC 135 USB Headset

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...of the headset has a push-and-pull joint. If I am using it, I have to set it to maximum length. if my 10-year-old nephew would use it for some PC games, he just pushes the headband inward and it adjusts itself at about half an inch. The head band is soft with its rubberized texture and it is lightweight so it doesn't make me feel like being 'gripped' at the head while using it. I like the headband's 'adjustable length' feature of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset as it adjusts to different head parameters. The Earpieces Logitech Dialog 812 Headset's earpieces amazed me with their good sound-quality output. They deliver bass-rich sound and the treble is well-adjusted. The earpieces produce an even sound whether I use the headset for online conversation or merely listening to my favorite music over the computer. My 2-year old used to ruggedly play...
