Excellent sound quality, a little unwieldy to pack and store
The sound quality -- both input and output -- of these is impressive for the cost. Recognised instantly on my Mac when connected to the USB port. My only issue with this headset (which is relatively minor) is that the cord is quite long, so when rolled up for portability there's quite a bit of excess volume given the overall size of the headset.
Good for Voice-Recognition
I have used a number of headsets for voice-recognition and the Sennheiser PC 35-USB headset has an exceptionally good noise canceling microphone. In comparison with the other headset that I am using presently, the Jabra GN-5035, the Sennheiser's noise canceling ability is slightly superior. In terms of audio, both work fine. With respect to comfort level, the Jabra headphone is one of the most comfortable I've ever worn, with high-quality ear pads as well as a sturdy lightweight structure. Additionally, the Jabra has a cable attached to the side so it never it bothers my neck. While the Sennheiser is $14 more than the Jabra, its construction is flimsier and the cord is attached to both sides of the head set so that it comes into contact with my neck occasionally. Additionally, the ear pads are fairly thin. Overall, the Jabra is a better quality headset and a greater value. However, the Sennheiser has a slightly superior microphone,which is important for a frequent voice-recognition program user. This review was dictated with Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.5 using the Sennheiser.
Good headset
The headset works very good with a Mac. When I first plugged it in to my Vista PC, it did not work. After some research on the web I found out, that the firmware of the headset needs to be updated in order to work with Vista. That's annoying, especially because they don't tell you, but you somehow you have to find out yourself. Otherwise a very good product.
