Would have been more useful if he had recorded the sound through the headset mic so we could hear how good that is.

Dude get the Tritton ax120, it's very good for PC and has a cable much longer than 5ft

Anybody with the same noise problems when recording with the mic and the integrtated sound card? Even when I mute the mic, there is noise! ... I'm under windows 7, using mainly Audacity and other software. Under Win XP on my laptop there is a crackling, but no noise... There is no firmware upgrade available. Don't know what to do. Or is it normal to have a steady noise (like trees murmur) in the background? Maybe I'm expecting too much: I'd like to have it dead-silent!

First...its not Sunheiser... Second... A 5 foot cable is quite short

@diffusedlight This headset has a common impedance of 32 ohms, which means that pretty much anything will be able to drive this headset with sufficient volume. I don't have this exact model; I have the PC 151 which has a similar impedance and it is loud enough that I can keep my computer's volume at 20% volume using onboard audio. I suggest you purchase a headphone amp or a sound card as whatever you have these plugged into somehow lacks the ability to drive the headset effectively.

They are awesome except they don't get loud enough. I emailed Senheisser about this issue and they never replied. Always a good sign!

If you're going to spend too much money on headphones, at least get something that gets loud enough.

Hang on a moment- I own a pair of these, and you don't mention that you do. I'll assume that you don't.

Please kindly stfu.

they're supposed to be headphones, not speakers :p

i think as long as you can hear them in your own room while wearing them they're loud enough

[Misyu44]

This is a review?! .. We hear voice recorded on this headset mic?

[AndreasFehrm]

Seriously, it isn't the headsets fault. I'm wearing a pair of these right now and I can like destroy my ears if I max the volume..
