EPOS Sennheiser SC 30 USB ML (504546) - Single-Sided Business Headset | For Skype for Business | with HD Sound, Noise-Cancelling Microphone, & USB Connector (Black)

Update: After 3-4 years this headset has worked great daily but due to all the twisting it now has wire exposed. Still 5 stars. Still the best cheap headset out there . Buying another one nowAfter looking at the logitech similar headsets I went with this Sennheiser brand for the quality and having the earpiece on the RIGHT side is great. I use this when working from home and I can hear everyone and the mic is perfect. No problems, no static and no feedback. I just plugged it into my USB port and it installed and worked in less than a minute. Very lightweight and it has a long cord with a mute button on the cord. I would say if you want a great headset on the right side ear, get this one.

I needed a comfort headpiece I started working at home and the logistics orig ones were to tight on the ears, when I came across this product EPOS and the reviews I decided to buy and I tell u they were true the comfort the mic quality and block out noise it so good and I like one ear to be free the connectivity the fit and it's durable, light and so not disappointed at all glad I made the choice I love this. The clarity is superb.

I bought this headset specifically for use with Skype/Lync calls, as it's designed to be ideal for. Everything worked as expected, and the sound quality was remarkably good for the cost. The inline remote functions well for both volume and call control. It's nearly flawless for use in a quiet office. I like the one-ear design which is more comfortable for long-term wearing and less isolating. The true test was when I needed to work from a Starbucks for a few hours before a meeting I had at a remote office. The quality was good enough for me to speak with customers, and they could hear clearly without excessive background noise. I had to keep myself muted when not talking, and when they used the blender, I often needed to repeat myself, but still pretty good considering the environment. The only thing I would have liked is if the headset could be a bit louder for me to hear over the surroundings. Other headsets I have supply a bit more volume. Still, a solid value for the price. Nice to get some equipment from one of the classic pro audio brands.

PROS:* Plugs in and just works without any special drivers.* Works with WebEx, GoToMeeting, Skype, etc* Mute button is in-line, so it works in any app rather than being a programmed hotkey for a specific app.* Volume control is standard PC volume up and down.* Frequency response is good enough for music, games, etc as well.* Can still hear people around me if they need to get my attention.* Very lightweight.CONS:* I should have gotten the ML60 version for stereo.This works for any audio source and shows up as a sound device. It does not isolate sound, so it's probably better to get the 260 model if you are in a loud callcenter. If you want it for serious audiophiles or 3d sound, then you want the 660 with bigger earcups. However, those are going to be heavier.

This is the 3rd headset I've tried, the other 2 were different brands. The problem I've been trying to solve is that when I have online meetings, others always complained that they heard a lot of background noise..specifically my central air conditioner which they compared to being in a wind tunnel.Now with this unit, all the problems with noise are gone! They can hear me clearly and no more background wind tunnel noise. Another complaint I had about one of the other headsets I had was the bulk. It is extremely heavy and not comfortable to wear for more than a few minutes. This unit, however, is the opposite and is extremely light. I kind of wish it had ear pieces on both sides so I can hear more clearly..but I only wear it for meetings so not a huge deal and I can get by. The price is also reasonable, so I'm giving this a great rating and would recommend it if you're also having issues with background noise.

So close to what I wanted, but I am disappointed.The Good: The sound is great both on the speaker and what people tell me they hear on on the mic. The headset part also lightweight.The Bad: The headset adjustment is a bit awkward - it only extends on the speaker side, so when fully extended to fit my big head I have a long flat run in the band that doesn't leave it balanced. But my real problem with this headset is the inline volume control. First of all, its huge compared to what you would encounter with modern headphones so it weighs the cord down and it hangs at an awkward length along the cord from the headset. It won't rest on my desk. It slides off and will get the cord caught under the arm of my chair. It needs about another foot of slack and I could just fix it to my desk with a command strip and all would be well. But if I did that with this length, my neck would be arched and it would be like I am on a leash. I may try clipping it to my shirt at the inline control so that the weight doesn't pull the cord down.

This is the most comfortable headset I've worn in the entire sixteen years I've worked from home. I can eat and drink with it on in between incoming calls without being aware of it. At shift end first day wearing it I forgot I still had it on. Can you imagine that? Forgot! I was like wha-- I had originally planned to stash it away in my (also Amazon purchase) Songmics Faux Leather Folding Storage Ottoman Cube within easy reach of my work space as secondary to one I received first, a few weeks ago, client ACD Direct now mandating USB computer headsets, exclusively, in lieu of telephone headsets, but on first day's use of this Sennheiser SC 30 USB headset, I changed my mind in favor of the 'second born' of the two, in spite of both being of exceptionally high quality in communication.Update: Downgraded from 5 to 4 stars since my initial post. Working from home in an apartment building I suspect to have TATs (abbreviation for term I made up for Traffickers Against Taxation) I pack the headset away into a padlockable storage cube before going outdoors in order to guard against defective trade by seeming minions of corrupt (post-1970, mad pleurisy/zombie researching) lady doctors who seemingly don't want anyone (e.g., WAHA, i.e., Work At Home Agent) witnessing duffle bags or the non-degradable like securable bags. being placed in garbage cans/dumpsters during daylight hours and/or seeming stalking, body clean-freak, homeless entering designated apartments for showers/naps/meals . The over stuffing seems to have eventually caused the otherwise perfect mouthpiece to swing loosely instead of staying in place. I know -- no fair reviewing for other than normal wear and tear, but just saying to warn others against like product abuse. If you love this one, then handle with TLC., as it doesn't seem to hold up to abuse. Now I, personally, have to buy another one.Update 2: Oops, badmouthed wrong headset. That was my Agptek HA0071 telephone headset I use for my LiveOps client that didn't hold up to abuse, not the wonderful, wonderful Sennheiser SC 30 USB headset. Making full use of my Amazon video prime membership in between WAHA calls, I've never, ever padlocked the Sennheiser SC 30 USB headset. That is, the Sennheiser SC 30 USB headset is still excellent after all this this time.

There is an odd frequency noise perpetually coming out of the speaker, I can't have that in my ear without going insane. The sound quality is otherwise decent. The microphone has a tinny quality to it, however I was more disappointed at how loudly I could hear my own mouse clicks (it claims to have noise canceling). I would expect a headset like this to go for $15 at the most, but I paid twice that. Very poor quality overall, stay away from this.

Works well with Dragon software.

Pagas casi €44 por una unidad NUEVA, pero te mandan una unidad OBVIAMENTE USADA, que encima viene simplemente envuelta en una bolsa transparente de plastico - tal cual! QUE VERGUENZA SENNHEISER! No me esperaba esto de esta marca, despues de tantos años comprando sus productos, con los que TAN contento he estado por su calidad...

La connessione usb garantisce qualità dell audio e stabilita del microfono. Compatibilissima con tutti i programmi. Lasciare un orecchio libero consente di non isolarsi nell ufficio. Ottima.

Works really well with my laptop & phone system.

Perfekt für das Sprachsystem am Rechner.
