Jabra C820S Active Noise Cancelling Stereo Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've looked and tried nearly a dozen so-called active noise cancelling headphones and was tremendously disappointed by all of them, except the Bose, which I cannot afford. Then I saw the Jabra and since they make the best Bluetooth headsets, I figured, let's try it...I can always return it.
Somewhat to my surprise, the quality was outstanding: the noice cancelling does exactly that and there are no irritating hissing sounds etc. The audio quality is absolutely great and the set comes in a beautiful case.
I have now used it for about 40+ hours, most of which in airplanes and am still on my first battery (it's rated for 50 hours).
Last week I swapped with a Bose QC2 that the guy in the seat next to me was wearing and we did a little testing. Our conclusion was that the Jabra was slightly better in noise cancelling (but Bose was very good too), that both were equal in sound quality and that the Bose was slightly better in comfort (but the Jabra was very comfortable too).
So for $150 less I'll take the Jabra.

Sennheiser ME3 Headset Microphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Sennheiser wireless base unit and the mic it came with was all over the side of my head, it moved constantly.
It was the kind that fit over only one ear, it is flesh colored and looked good, but, as I preach and teach, it moved.
This mic is solid, a little cumbersome at first, but after our first concert (playing congas and doumbek) and teaching afterwards, I love it.
It stays put and works well, very solid.

Sennheiser PXC 310 Compact Noise-Canceling Travel Headphones (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I also have the px-100,pxc-250,pxc-300. The PXC-310 is nicely built. They are bigger than the other pxc models and sit on the ear. Because of this you get better noise cancellation than the other models. They also come in a case that is just a tiny bit bigger than the case of the pxc-250 and 300. On the plus side, the noise cancellation is built into the earphones rather than an external piece as in the 250 and 300. It also has a volume control built into the earphones. The sound is good with good bass and highs. That being said, when you turn the noise cancellation on, you lose some bass. This was also the case with the pxc-300 but not the 250. However, the 310 still puts out more bass than any of the previous models. The talk through function is handy when someone is speaking to you. All you have to do is press the button on the earphone and it shuts off the music so you can hear via a built in microphone. However, it sounds as though you are under water. It has a very hollow sound, but it is a nice feature. Once again, these earphones, like its predecessors do not play as loud as other headphones but is more than sufficient. Another nice feature is that the earphones still work without the noise cancellation turned on. To be honest, the earphones sound better with the noise cancellation turned off. If you are in a quiet environment, this would be the way to go. All in all they are comfortable,good sounding and nicely built. By the way, i had and returned the Bose QC3. To my ears the 310 are much better sounding.

Sennheiser VMX Office Bluetooth Headset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this headset for use with a Polycom phone system. Originally I was told that it could be connected to the automatic hookswitch function of the phone, but we were never able to find a way to actually do that. However, using the headset and manually answering the phone worked well enough, and I initially found this to be a good device, albeit with a few problems.
The sound quality is excellent. I had never had anyone comment that they had any difficulty hearing me, and even though I have some hearing loss, I was able to clearly hear the people I was talking to.
I did have some difficulty getting the device to work with my bluetooth phone, and I eventually gave up trying since I really didn't need that function. I also found that the headset wasn't always clear about when it was connected correctly, and I would switch from my phone's handset to the headset to find that I was talking to dead air.
But the real killer for this headset was its fragility. The hinge that allows the headset to collapse and be placed in the charger comes to a point where it is held together by a small piece of plastic, and eventual wear and tear can damage the plastic. This headset lasted for less than 6 months before the hinge broke, rendering the headset useless.
