EPOS PC8 USB Stereo Headset for PC & Mac - Wired On-Ear Headphones with Noise-Canceling Mic, USB Plug, In-Line Volume & Mute Control, Ultra-Light Design, Perfect for Business, Calls & Remote Work

The headphones come with a USB plug on them. They were recognised by my PC running Windows 7. My first attempt at Skype didn't work, but as soon as I removed the old headphones, these new headphones started working. The headphones work perfectly with Skype. The headphones were bought to replace the ones I bought from Skype a couple of years ago which had become intermittent. The headband is adjustable and can accommodate my very large head with no problems. There is just the right amount of pressure to keep the headphones on the ear without putting too much pressure on to become uncomfortable. There is a little unit with a volume control and microphone mute switch in the lead - which it is probably worth checking if it ever appears to be dead. This switch and volume control is not something that I particularly need or find useful, but it works OK. Sound-wise the stereo audio is remarkably good for the price. Treble is clear and undistorted (and much better than my previous Skype headphones). The bass is good enough to enjoy music and does not boom - it doesn't seem to be 'enhanced'. The stereo sound stage is quite convincing. Early impressions are thus quite favourable. I wish I had bought this instead of the ones I bought from Skype a couple of years ago. More comfortable, better treble, better bass and more realistic stereo sound stage.

I got this to replace a Logitech cordless headset that contracted "dead left channel" disease two months after I bought it. The sound quality is good enough that I use this new headset to listen to music when I can't be bothered to plug in my headphones, something I never did with the (much more expensive) Logitech headset. The microphone is okay for VoIP calls, which is all I use it for. Slight negatives are: Some headsets have a single cable that connects to the earpiece on one side. These are much easier to get on and off than the PC 8 USB 8, with its 'Y' cable that attaches on both sides; this is something you notice when you're trying to answer a call in a hurry. The icons on the mute switch are really hard to see except in bright light. When I'm on a conference call, I often want to be able to glance at the switch to know that I'm muted. An LED or just simple red/green colour coding of the visible part of the switch's slider would make this much easier. Although the plastics used in construction appear to be of high quality, the headband and (particularly) the extensions that slide out of it to allow adjustment are very thin. While this makes for a light and comfortable fit, I wonder how robust they will prove around someone as clumsy as myself. Overall, this is a good product at the price if you're looking for USB headset to use for telephony and for music when you don't have don't have proper headphones to hand.

I re-ordered a brand which I was using for about five years but needed a new set and received this brand where the headset is identical but much better rich sound and comfortable fit. When adjusting the movement is nicely stiff which is a good thing as my old set would slip and when your on a call for two hours it's not good, but this headset holds very nicely, the adjustable microphone produces great sound I am told by people on calls and the lead is a generous length to provide flexibility. A great quality wired headset at a great price.

I bought this to use with Slack and Zoom for conference calls and the sound quality is stunning, it's comfortable for medium length (1 hour) meetings (not used it for much longer yet). People have said the microphone is clear and reliable. The speakers deliver good sound quality and theres a handy mute switch and volume control on the cable as well. Good product, lightweight and feels quite sturdy as well

Sound quality good for calls, acceptable for some gaming and music if you don't have big expectations. Still working fine after almost a year of use. Good headset for the price, but I expected more care for details from Sennheiser, see at the cons. Pros: - Lightweight, comfortable to wear for long periods - No creaking plastic noise when moving - Long enough cable, not transferring to much noise to the ears when it's rubbing against something Cons: - Cable is tied up in a tight bunch in the packaging and hasn't straightened out in a year, it's twisting back to the tied up position if you put the headphones down. I don't understand why the manufacturer can't just loop the cable in a big circle around the headphone in the packaging so the cable in not bent, there is enough room to do that. - Adjusting mechanism is too loose, slips out every time I take it off. Once on your head and adjusted it doesn't move, luckily.

These come wrapped in an impenetrable amount of plastic packaging, but once you've hacked your way in, with no possibility of saving the pack for any possible return, you plug 'em in, tell your machine to send sound output to them (mine's a Mac, so go to System Preferences/sound), and that's that! The microphone tucks up neatly if you don't need it. I was concerned that my mac running 10.4.11 would be too old (as it is for quite a few things these days) and struggle to work with these, but it all went like clockwork. The sound quality through the earphones is, to my ears, excellent - I've tried 'em with some Bach, some Nora Jones and some Lindi Ortega - all grand, maybe a bit softer than the Bose system my mac runs normally. I'm using the headset for a language course, and the microphone picks up my mangled Italian well enough for me to repeatedly fail my pronounciation - a very annoying er-er chime! Ah well, Rome wasn't built in a day and my command of the Italian language certainly won't either.

To działa z laptopem. Posiada wbudowaną kartę dźwiękową . Idealny do video konferencji. jedyne słuchawki, które komputer i laptop widzi jako odrębne urządzenie do odsłuchu i mikrofon. W ustawieniach dźwięku ustawić mikrofon jako EPOS PC 8 USB i działać!!!!. Zdecydowanie polecam!!!

Un fois n'est pas coutume et je ne suis pas satisfait du tout de la réactivité fantôme d'AMAZON dans la livraison de cet appareil. Mais commençons par l'appareil, c'est un choix très judicieux pour qui travaille avec un casque sur la tête, c'est l'objectif de cet appareil d'ailleurs ! Il est léger, voire même ultra léger mais son emballage aussi d'ailleurs, qui mériterait d'être un peu plus résistant car arrivé enfoncé sans toutefois de dommage au casque. Le son aux oreilles est de qualité de même que pour celui restitué par le micro, c'est important de le noter ! Pour la résistance des matériaux de construction, il faudra voire après quelques mois d'utilisation car même s'il paraît solide, l'ensemble n'est que plastique. La télécommande intégrée sur le câble est un plus précieux pour usage professionnel. Passons à la gestion de la livraison TNT par AMAZON : notons que j'ai un besoin urgent de cet appareil pour raison pro, mais comme j'ai un compte AMAZON PREMIUM, je ne m'inquiète pas, la livraison est garantie au jour donné. Et le jour dit de livraison, un samedi, je ne vois aucun livreur TNT à l'horizon, dommage d'attendre ainsi en vain pour signer le bon de réception. Je consulte le site TNT sur internet avec les coordonnées du colis et je remarque que la livraison bien que garantie le samedi, est décalée au jour ouvré suivant sans aucune raison ni aucun avis au client qui attend poliment chez lui.... merci TNT de votre politesse. Un petit mot à AMAZON qui me répond un dimanche (si si!) se charger d'enquêter sur la livraison... (ha bon, Colombo a repris du service !) mais çà ne fait pas avancer mon schmilblick ! Bon, je n'ai d'autre choix que de patienter au jour ouvré suivant, donc le lundi et là, rebelotte ! Aucun livreur TNT à l'horizon, la moutarde monte un peu et un nouvel appel au conseiller AMAZON qui me dit ne rien pourvoir faire car un autre s'en occupe déjà ! Bien mais moi je ne vois pas arriver mon colis urgent garanti samedi dernier et en errance avec un livreur TNT perdu sans GPS et un premier conseiller AMAZON qui joue les Colombo mais reste fantôme et inefficace. Et surprise, je reçois dans la journée un mel de TNT qui m'annonce que mon colis ne pourra pas m'être livré samedi ! (merci je m'en étais rendu compte on est lundi quand même !) puis un second qui m'annonce que le colis sera livré mardi. A quand même, il y a donc quelqu'un chez TNT qui se préoccupe des clients ! Je commençais à douter fortement. Et mardi midi, le livreur dépose dans la boite aux lettres le colis tant espéré ! Mais ce n'est pas finit (comme dans la pub !). Mercredi AMAZON réagit enfin concrètement en soirée et m'annonce des regrets pour le retard de livraison et m'adresse un second colis identique ! Alors que la livraison est maintenant effectuée....dommage. Je reçois en effet vendredi un second casque aussi inutile que renvoyé aussitôt. Dommage cette absence de réactivité d'AMAZON mais une fois n'est pas coutume et AMAZON conserve néanmoins toute ma confiance : c'est bien la première fois que j'ai tant de mal à me faire entendre. ------------------------- Aujourd'hui 13 avril, soit un mois plus tard, Colombo doit avoir pris sa retraite car je n'ai jamais eu aucune nouvelle de son enquête, dommage j'aimais bien Colombo moi ! le vrai bien sur..... Et je constate que je ne suis pas le seul client à se plaindre de TNT.... mais qu'en pense AMAZON qui reste dans un silence assourdissant ? dommage, le crédit confiance s'écorne....

Disappointed. Use it to read reports and it is super sensitive to background sounds. I am typing more than dictating. After I wrote this review, I changed the recognition voice program I am using and the difference is amazing. The mics works great !

Lo consiglio sopratutto per chi deve registrare la voce perchè il suono è chiaro e non metallico, come invece a volte capita con altre cuffie. Come suono in entrata sempre chiaro ma non si sentono molto bene i bassi, quindi direi che per ascoltare la musica non sono adatti, ma per lavoro o lezione on line sono perfetti.
