 "Do not let the photo fool you" 2010-04-21
By Grant McCracken
This headset does not cover your ears. It sits awkwardly on the head. I'm not sure why they call this an XL Ear Cap, unless of course you have ears the size of a marmot. I know someday someone will make a great headset. This is not it.

 "Pick something else." 2010-01-28
By Just Bob again (USA somewhere)
Sits on your ears, not around them. Does not stay where you put them. Blocks no ambient noise. In fact, some ambient sounds actually seem louder with the headphones on. Sound quality is OK. NO mute switch or volume control. Vastly overpriced for what you get. I have discount-store el-cheapos that cost a tenth as much that are entirely comparable. You're paying for the name, not the features. Save your money.

 "They can't hear me, and I can't hear them" 2009-12-07
By V. Levy (New York, NY)
The main reason I bought the C550 was so I could hear well in conference calls, using both my ears. This headset is comfortable to wear, and it has decent sound reproduction. I'm plugging it into a ShoreTel 265 office phone via the Sennheiser CSTD-01 adapter cable for phone systems, which I purchased with the C550.



I'm disappointed because whenever I'm in a conference call, the other participants tell me my volume is low and can I please speak up. The C550 has no volume control, so rather than shouting and disturbing my office-mates, I fumble to put it down and pick up the handset of my office phone. Now I'm back where I was before I expensed $165.18 total for the headset and the required telephone adapter, including tax and standard shipping.



At least I can hear well if I wear the C550 in meetings where I'm not an active participant, yes? No. The other problem I'm having is that despite the claim of having an "XL ear cap" they are not really over-the ear headphones; they're not large enough to be. Instead, they sit on the ears, hardly blocking ambient sound at all, and when it gets noisy around me in my busy office, I try to cover my ears with my hands. The "XL" ear caps are just large enough to thwart this.

 "Excellent Headset" 2009-11-09
By Dad (Dallas, TX)
I've used telephone headsets for a couple decades. Mostly Plantronics and Radio Shack. This is the best headset I've ever owned, by far. The sound quality, both hearing and speaking, is excellent. I can hear better than I've ever heard before. And callers tell me that my voice is as clear as they have ever heard (poor folks). While the headset weighs an ounce or two more than my other headsets (it weighs 4.4 oz. with cords), it isn't too heavy and is comfortable to wear. The padding on the headband feels much better on my bald head than the bare metal of my Radio Shack model. I'm happy I spent the money for it.



The earphone speakers are so efficient, I had to turn down the volume on my phone to its lowest level. I've never had to do that before. BTW, I have a couple year old 5.8 GHz Uniden PowerMax wireless phone. I plug the headset into a 2.5 mm headset jack on the portable handset so I can walk around while I pontificate on the phone.



Please note, this headset is not usable without buying an additional cord that contains a plug. While there are several jack-cords available for different types of phones, the one I purchased was manufactured by Sennheiser. According to the label on the package, it appears the model number is CCEL190-2, with a product code of 500359. I bought it from an Amazon vendor (The Price Pros) for $15.65. It is called "Dect/gsm Cable" and works perfectly. Here is a link to the product: Dect/gsm Cable



After reading all sorts of material and alternate descriptions of the headset, I could never learn the size of the earpieces. They are exactly 2" in diameter and slightly larger than my previous Radio Shack earpieces. They are covered in soft padded leather (or pleather), as are the pads on the headband.



The total cord, including the jack-cord, is straight (uncoiled) and is 80" long (jack-cord is ~40"). This is longer than I prefer, and is my only negative on this headset. The jack-cord is connected to the headset cord via a quick release jack/socket thingy. The cable runs out of one side (mic side) of the headset rather than from both sides like my Radio Shack model.



The microphone boom is kind of short at 4.75", but that apparently hasn't hampered callers' ability to hear my voice (too bad for them).



The package includes a cable clip (clip it on your shirt to prevent the weight of the cable from pulling on the headset), storage bag, 2 replacement foam earpiece pads, and 3 color ID clips that clip onto the headband so you can tell yours apart from your co-worker's.



The quality of construction makes me believe it will last for many years. I hope so. I've enjoyed having it.

 "Fantastic Headset" 2009-02-25
By Dustin Schultz (Gig Harbor, WA USA)
I recently purchased this headset for use at work. I am on the phone most of the day and was looking for a really high quality headset. I also work at home and have a server rack in my home office, so the ultra noise cancelling was something I was interested in. This headset definately performs. The sound quality is fantastic, as well as what the person on the other end hears.



The only thing to watch out for is that this headset comes with a Sennheiser quick disconnect plug, so in order to plug this into anything you will need another cable in addition. I got both the modular plug for Avaya phone and a 2.5mm adapter.



One of my favorite things about the headset is the comfort. It is very light and yet still feels quite durable. The adjustments work well, especially the mic boom. I have never used a headset with a boom so easily adjustable.



Overall, this headset beats any I have used for an office telephone, and is a good choice if you work in a noisy environment. I have used a plethora of Plantronics headsets, and they cannot come close to this performance.

 "Great." 2010-07-29
By David A. Deyell
Very good. The sound quality is much better quality then my g35. The build quality on the headset appears to be very good and the headset is very lightweight. The packaging was hard to open.

 "ATH-700AD vs Sennheiser PC-350" 2010-07-21
By B. Knapik (cleveland, ohio)
I started looking for an awesome headset for LANs and as a secondary pair (to my ATH-AD700). My Icemat Siberias finally broke after 5-6 years of use (fatal!ty rests its soul). I didnt care for all these non-flexible headsets that are branded by the big names in gaming headsets. Finally, I found these, the Sennheiser PC350. It looked to have everything I needed, but was it everything?



Tested: Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Team Fortress 2, Heavy Metal Music



- Pros: Sound quality, Mic Quality, Noise Canceling.



Putting them on for the first time, the sound quality for gaming was pretty nice. The bass was surprisingly good as bullets went off, near and far. The attached mic is flexible to a point. There is a part of the boom that is flexible so you can move the mic closer or farther away from your mouth. The only downside is that its not detachable, which is not a downer for me.



However, the sound quality for music was a bit lacking compared to my 700s. I have heard that open headsets are better for sound quality and now I hear why. This is not just an audiophile thing, you can hear the difference. The music sounded a bit distorted and the initial bass only helped create a headache.



As for the noise canceling, it does a good job for a closed headset. The downside though is that I am used to being able to talk to friends close by while gaming. This requires one side off my ear at all times, otherwise I will not be able to hear them. However, if you are tired of having noise all around you while gaming, this can help greatly.



- Cons: Comfort, For some, the build quality feels a bit flimsy



Again, putting them on for the first time, it almost immediately felt wrong. Before adjusting it, it started to squeeze my head. Once I did adjust it, that did get rid of most, but not completely. As for long use wear time, I would say about 2-3 hours. Beyond that, be prepared for a headache or sweaty ears from time to time. As with any closed headset, it does get warm after awhile and your ears start to get hot.



The build quality is better than most that I have seen, and could most likely take a decent amount of abuse, but I would not push it. The reason this is a con though is because my 700s feel ALOT more solid than this.



Overall: Sadly, they did not replace my ATH-AD700s as my primary pair. My 700s are just too comfy to let go. However, these Sennheisers do stand up and are noticed for gaming.

 "Comfortable, but doesn't play nice with onboard sound" 2010-07-16
By Scott Pollert
Very comfortable, though your ears can get a bit warm from being completely closed off to outside air. Sound is good, if a bit weak. Based on other reviews, it's probably because I'm using onboard sound and not a separate card. Microphone is good and construction is very sturdy. I expect this to last me a couple of years.

 "A beautiful product but ultimately a return" 2010-07-12
By Mac on Maui (Maui, Hawaii)
I bought these for the purpose of recording podcasts, calling on Skype, and general music listening at the computer. The combination of Sennheiser's reputation and the price ($118 on Amazon) were too great to resist.



Pros:

* The 350's craftsmanship is evident right out of the box.

* The headset is comfortable and very lightweight.

* When listening to music, the instruments are distinct and everything is very clear.



Cons:

* Poor bass and no "punch." Other reviewers had cautioned about the high impedance and this may be the source of the problem. However, buying more gear to improve the sound is one rabbit hole I won't be going down.

* The inline controls are spartan at best.



I think a better approach for me would be to buy a serviceable headset, then music-specific headphones. No knock at all against Sennheiser, but they just weren't for me.



Giving this product three stars seems a little odd, but I can't give it four due to the disappointing music sound quality.

 "Great for hearing aid wearers" 2010-07-12
By Jennifer (Brentwood, MO United States)
I use these at least twice a week for several hours at a time. I'm hard of hearing and wear a behind-the-ear hearing aid in my right ear. Due to the severity of my hearing loss, it's a larger BTE aid than is common these days, and so I can't use in-the-canal headphones (e.g. iPhone headphones), Walkman-style headphones, or smaller over-the-ear headphones.



Now that I've been doing more advanced stuff in Warcraft and planning to resume Left 4 Dead and Battlefield with friends in the near future, I needed to do something about this problem as one's hobby shouldn't cause physical discomfort, and the discomfort that shouldn't exist in the first place shouldn't cause problems in a cooperative setting where you are helping others and they are helping you.



So when I looked for a new headset to replace the existing Plantronics USB headset I'd been using, one of the criteria was "larger earcups". The smaller earcups I'd been wearing exerted pressure on my hearing aid that caused it to be pushed into my ear and the side of my head. This, combined with the earpieces from my glasses, added up to be pretty uncomfortable and made voice chat unbearable after more than a relatively short time.



I've had Sennheiser headphones before and been quite happy with them, so I knew that the sound quality would be good. Reviews of this headset on Amazon looked great and from the photos it looked like the earcups were indeed larger than my current headset. And the earcups of my Sennheiser headphones were soft enough that I didn't find them uncomfortable to wear over long periods of time.



I've been quite pleased with this headset, although the ability to adjust the earcups back and forth a bit (e.g. tilt forward, vertical, and tilt backward) in addition to the fit of the headband would be welcome; the positioning of the earcups is largely dictated by the fit of my hearing aid, and so the headband isn't always where I would like it to be. It's quite tolerable, though. The headband is wide and well-cushioned and the weight of the headset is easily bearable -- in fact, it's not so light that it feels flimsy or cheap and yet not so heavy as to cause neck or head aches.



Finally, those I play with have no complaints about the microphone quality and report that my voice is clear once the microphone Levels setting is adjusted properly -- at least in the current version of Ventrilo. I have yet to test the microphone with the built-in voice chat system in World of Warcraft, as it is rarely used (a shame, as I like its ability to display on-screen who is talking, but that's not a fault of this headset!).



This headset does not have a push-to-talk button as some do, but a set of leftover USB dictation control pedals left over from a past job combined with a utility that translates a pedal press into a keypress takes care of that easily. Perhaps that, too, could be a feature for a future model, although that might be a bit too "niche" for Sennheiser and not an optimal way to toggle a microphone, anyway.



I would, however, like to see a USB version of this headset, as I've found USB preferable to using the front-panel connectors on my PC. It was easy enough to purchase a USB audio adapter to convert the in/out connectors to a single USB plug, but others may not want to do that or may not be aware that such adapters exist.



Definitely recommended. My "old" USB headset will be finding its way to a guildmate who's younger, and so has smaller ears than I do; she also doesn't wear a hearing aid.
