Cingular Go Phone: Sennheiser PC 30 Over-the-Head Binaural Headset Review

I go back a ways with Internet telephony. In the mid- to late-1990s, I used Net2Phone. Reception was always fuzzy and I remember buying several headsets that used separate plugs for the microphone and speaker that connected to jacks on the sound card. The voice quality with those cheap headsets was so bad that I finally broke down and bought an expensive USB headset. Only then, I was able make calls where the sound quality was tolerable.

But now, with the popularity of broadband, better soundcards, and more mature technology, Internet telephony has gotten to the point where the sound quality is often as good as landline telephone. I have become a big Skype fan, and I was looking for an inexpensive light-weight headset that I could keep in my laptop bag and not worry about it getting crushed.

I had heard about the quality of Senneheiser headsets so I purchased the Sennheiser PC30 and hoped for the best. My wishes were answered. The noise-cancelling mic is crystal clear and voice sound quality from the headphones is excellent. Even my biggest critic, my mom, can't tell the difference from when I am using this headset or a regular telephone. They sound as good and in most cases better than any USB headset that I have used. They also fold up nicely and I can tuck them into a pocket in my laptop case.

My only complaint is the plastic headset and black foam padding around the ear muffs and microphone can feel cheap, but for the price, I can certainly live with it. If you are looking for a low-priced quality headset with noise cancelling that works great with Skype and performs better than many headsets that cost much more, the Sennheiser PC30 is the answer.
