Good headset for conferences.
I've been using these for years, frequently, and for up to 4 hours at a time. I like them a lot. I keep coming back to these, because of their low profile, and there decent sound quality for talking with others on phone, or on video call. I've even once in a while used them for listening to music while taking a walk. I like wired headsets, and dislike wireless. So if you like wireless, these will obviously be annoying to you. I just don't like fiddling with settings. I like plugging things in and them working. Sometimes I scramble for these when I get a call, and I don't want to spend 30 seconds dealing with telling them "hold on"... "I'll be able to hear you in 30 seconds" as I fuss with bluetooth settings, power buttons, etc. So these have been my go to. They are very comfortable. I don't like shoving things inside my ear canal, so ear buds are not an option for me. These have outlasted other headsets that I have had. I will get these again whenever these die. They were a very good value.

Perfect for my big head and sensitive ears!
I use the 3.5mm and not the USB adapter. I have a quiet baritone voice. With the Sennheiser SC 165, people on the phone and on computer conference calls hear me clearly and frequently compliment me asking "what are you using?" I can hear them clearly as well.Other headset mics cause me to repeat myself, project my voice, and cause my voice to sound demanding.The Sennheiser SC 165 is not necessarily a revealing headphone for music. Although music sounds fine, it is a polite sounding headphone. The Sennheiser SC 165 is non-fatiguing for long days of listening to conference calls. It is also light to wear and doesn't pinch my big head too much. However, just like a pair of comfortable shoes, it is nice to take the headphone off periodically.I wear a 7 1/4 hat and I fully extend the Sennheiser SC 165 to barely fit my head. If your head is bigger, the Sennheiser SC 165 may be too small.Since this is binaural (two earphones), I'm better able to focus on my call and ignore distractions around me.I've tried various other products. Products for half the price sound maybe 25% as good as the Sennheiser SC 165. The price I paid is more than fair. I've tried more expensive products from a well known competing company that begins with P and found they sound more like the cheaper headphones. In all, the Sennheiser SC 165 is a great performer for me.

Good inbound & outbound sound quality, but Lenovo X1 doesn't always recognize the hardware
Overall, this is one of the better headsets I have used for work purposes. In the past, I have used $20 Plantronics (or similar) headsets and was tired of hardware failures and poor call quality during work. With this model, I appreciate the USB-C interface and have not tried the traditional aux/mic input, although it is an option with this device. One issue I have had is that my Lenovo X1 (a relatively new release model) running Windows 10 doesn't always pick up on the device when plugged in. We use Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams and rely on such headsets for all telephony, so good hardware is critical. Our IT department and Lenovo has said there is no issue with my laptop and that it is an issue with the headset. That aside, the headset is on the heavier side, but remains comfortable. The wire provides plenty of length; enough for those of you needing at least some mobility with a standing desk. I would recommend this device, even with my own ongoing technical issue and a price point greater than the budget headsets. In this product category, you do get what you pay for!

Not for Smart Phones
Please be aware this does not fully work with smartphones. The phone button does not work. I do hope the manufacturer states that in the description to prevent future buyers purchasing for smart phone use.

Only lasted 4 calls
I bought these for leading on-line virtual trining sessions. I have taken care of them...no cord kinks or anything likee that....but after using them 4 times, they are already non-operational. Everyone on the session reports my audio is very low and cutting out intermitently. I borrowed someone else's and they work fine, so I know it's not my computer or my connection. Very disappointing.

Top quality headset!
I received the headset a few days ago. Sennheiser is a premium audio brand and this headset reflects that. It is very lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The sound quality is equivalent to a great set of headphones you would use to listen to music. Overall a great buy.There is one disappointment. If you use the 3.5mm jack to plug into a mobile device (this is how I use it) you cannot use the in-line call control unit. The control unit will only work if you plug in with the USB connection. I hadn't thought through this issue. Perhaps editing the product description to reflect this would be good. Again, just a minor disappointment.

This brand, this quality, value for money. After 6 months+ of uses, I lover it very much!
This brand, this quality, value for money. After 6 months of uses, I love it very much!The sound quality is very good, does not make me tired.The directional microphone boom transmit my voice clearly and lowered the background noise.I chose on-ear since it is comfort for long e-meeting, not too hot compare with over-ear type.For gaming purpose, you need to identify the sound directions, then choose over-ear.
