Cheap and flawed
Headphones broke after less than 2 years of use, during a time when it was mainly unused in the office.
Pro
- Sound
Contra
- Breath in the mic
- Poor material quality
Good, but looks fragile
First unit I bought was doa and had a defective USBC adapter: it was detected by devices but no sound could be heard in the headset. I asked for a replacement and received it one day later (thank you Digitec!).The second unit works flawlessly (tested on PC and Android smartphone).
It clearly doesn't compete with ANC/mic noise cancelling equipped headsets so I wouldn't recommend it in a noisy environment. In a quiet environment, call quality is very good, for both parties, and the adjustable mic helps a lot.
I looked online for other reviews and it seems many people are getting issues with the jack to USB-C adapter connexion, whether in DOAs or after a few weeks of use. It may be fragile.
Otherwise, I recommend.

Good, but processing leaves much to be desired
Great sound, what you expect from Sennheiser, comfortable to wear. However, the processing of the cable contacts is poor, have repeatedly sound dropouts, partly my system no longer recognizes the headset. In my tests, it has been found that the cable contacts are responsible for this, if you pull something on it, you can reproduce the dropouts.
Pro
- Sound quality
- Wearing comfort
Contra
- Loose contact
Compromise headset that is currently available.
Not all laptops have a USB-C port, so you still need an adapter (USB-C to USB). The ear cups only rest lightly (no sealing bead). Ordered this headphone because the cheaper SC60 is currently not available.
Pro
- Good sound
Contra
- Not exactly cheap
