Detailed Test of 6 headsets for Fritz! Fon MT-F

Detailed Test of 6 headsets for Fritz! Fon MT-F

Sennheiser PC21 VoIP Headset II PC (personal computer)

Customer Review

On the Internet is often asked which headset you can recommend for the Fritz! Fon MT-F. But the company AVM has neither own, nor does she gives useful recommendations - most answers are sold. That's why I decided to shed some light on the matter and to compare 6 headsets. So many so much, I wrote a detailed review.

Conclusion
Because the test but was much longer than expected, I suppose the bottom line anticipated. The interested may read to the end.
There are, as so often not buy recommendation. Who does not want to spend a lot and has no special requirements, is provided well served with BlackBerry headset from 4 personal ear hole is not too tight. You appreciate a nearly weightless comfort and have no long, loose hair? Then I recommend my personal favorite Jabra Wave. You must also make calls in a louder environment or listen to music even with the headset (for example, via Fritz! Fon Internet radio)? Then the Hama is a must, so to speak. The Sennheiser has the most expensive equipment into place in the professional field, eg telephone reception, call center.

Test methods
Tested were 6 Headsets to prices 4 to 25 The test was carried out on the one hand in a direct conversation. Two persons have respectively compare a Fritz! Fon MT-F the headset up to today. Both have each headset heard / discussed. In addition, a direct auditory comparison was made with an AB recording. Just as variables can be ruled out such as posture, another speech, position the microphone part. Finally, they were connected as a pair of headphones to the MP3 player for pure music enjoyment.
Important: all hearing tests are of course a certain subjectivity of the two subjects. Overall, in my opinion, but a meaningful result.

Test criteria
The test criteria were listening quality (I hear), voice quality (what the other person hears), seat, handling, quality and packaging.
First the good news: all 6 function with the Fritz! Fon MT-F without a problem!.

Constructive differences
Because alone already brings the construction, differences with them, I explain this briefly. Depending on the application scenario, the same design for a disadvantageous for the others be beneficial: A professional call center needs certainly another headset than a non-desk-perpetrator, of for example around also with the Fritz! Fon in operation! running or someone who phoned and outside and therefore needs special windbreak.
Previously, even the: In some reviews there is criticism that you can not even hang with the additional key. While this should be when connected to many phones such acts of this button on the Fritz! Fon as a mute button. This is therefore the constructive difference of Fritz! Fons and not on the headset.
The cables are all between 1.4 and 1.6 m only the Sennheiser is significantly longer.

- In-line headsets: at one end of the cable is 3.5 mm jack, the other one or two earphones and in between in the cord the micro. They are very packable and more inexpensive. The earpiece has usually a fixed size, ie without replaceable silicone pads.
- Ironing headsets: there is a strap placed over the ear, at the beginning of the round hoop is the earpiece, at the end of a straight extension that placed the microphone a little closer toward the mouth. These headsets sit reliable. The location of the microphone to the mouth does not change. It does not speak directly into the microphone, as well as the mobile phone. Thus no air noises which may be at the other end unbearably loud when otherwise strong exhalation or cough. I like this the most loving, but long hair or big earrings complicate the attachment clearly the female test subject wears both, and has therefore clearly voted Ironing headsets!
- Headband headsets: as with larger headphones have these larger strap, which runs half way around the head. The microphone is usually mounted so that it extends to a longer strap to her mouth. Any ambient noise can be minimized. By usually much larger earpiece are accordingly sounded more particularly in the bass.

Test candidates

1. SENNHEISER PC21-II PC VoIP Headset, 25
Type: headband.
Voice Quality: Very good.
Listening quality: Best, similar to HiFi headphones, very clear, natural and strong bass. Who sets on good sound even when telephone call value will be well served here. In addition, Sennheiser is also ideal for music, but only in one ear.
Office: Actually very good, even if you move. I felt the strap too tight, so so depressed me the blind end has nothing for long phone calls. My head diameter is average. If I keep it, I would have had to take some pressure out of the bracket by heating and bending.
Handling: The size makes a fixed, larger desktop space required. For the widespread small telephone stand, it is not suitable. With a little practice you can quickly put it even with one hand. Special feature: the headset has two end plugs for microphone and earpiece. This may be fine also used on the PC, eg for Skype. But for the Fritz! Fon you need an adapter. The bears on the plug end to thick forms a loop inconvenient for users who carry the Fritz! Fon while phoning around with you. And above all, the adapter unfortunately not included. ** Edit, because of multiple requests: the adapter is easy to find on the terms "FRITZ! Fon Headsetadapter" ** The cable is 2 meters.. In general, that's not a benefit but in individual cases also just important.
Significance: very high, both feel and choice of materials to justify the price.
Packaging: Very nice to look at expanding consuming it hits perhaps best. And who buys a test basis, the part as I do, so therefore expects to send it back, making best before a photo the packing as in the original state is a real fumbling. Ecologically the worst packaging as much waste.

2. Jabra Wave, 15-20
Type: earloop.
Voice Quality: A little center-weighted, dull, not natural but understandable
Listening quality: Rather dull, similar to AB recordings. On the other hand, it is the loudest headset in the test. Since volume when Fritz! Fon is occasionally criticized as being too low, this headset can be the solution. Fresh air phone users will buy the Wave because of the good wind protection function. Incidentally, you also decimated fan noise, for example from the PC or room fan.
Seat: Very comfortable, very easy. The specially molded silicon pads (Eargels) creates no pressure on / in the ear. Even moving the audio quality remains constant. As various silicone pads enclosed, the headset is also suitable for smaller ear openings. If you're in a long time, you might forget it almost as convenient as it is. You can adjust the Eargel for right / left.
Handling: You have to practice a few times setting up yet, but it work right away and with one hand.
Significance: It is a definite stable, precise workmanship and high quality. The cable seems tensile strength, so it can sometimes tolerate a jerk.
Packaging: Much like the Sennheiser, albeit a step under it: nice to look at but the repacking in its original state is a hassle. You need to hold rubber tool, for example a 3 crochet hook!
Accessories: exemplary! Besides the Eargels in 3 sizes is also an adapter for 2.5 mm jacks while and a 3.5mm adapter to connect specifically to mobile phones. My Galaxy S1 works but without this adapter with all 6 headsets. This adapter does not hear me the Partner.

3.weltatec Boom Headset, 15
Type: earloop.
(Identical with Jabra C510, 7, but that has a 2.5 mm plug and adapter to 3.5mm)
Voice Quality: Average, but the recipient to listen to a more in low volume
Listening quality: Good voice quality, not as dull as the Wave. It's a bit quieter than the Wave but overall still one of the louder.
Seat: as good as the Wave, albeit not quite as easy-easy. However, no other sizes of Eargels are included, so that the headset can not be adapted to smaller ears.
Handling: With practice, it can sit up even with one hand.
Significance: The Silver extension for the microphone is not as high quality as the Wave. Otherwise, one must also in this Danes a happy quality that resembles a German branded product.
Packaging: weltatec shipped to an unspectacular but functional lock bags. Little waste or problem-reclosing bags are the result.

4. BlackBerry Headset mono, 3-18!
Type: in-line headset.
Voice Quality: Good, not too dull, but of course no comparison with the Sennheiser.
Listening quality: Good, also not too dull. Mean volume.
Seat: Good for large ear openings. Mean are critical for small it is simply inappropriate. There is also no replaceable silicone pads.
Handling: Very easy to get started button in his ear and. Handed operation and ear changes are not an issue.
Significance: The outer impression is average. There are slight cast edges etc. This headset I have for some time and found out that not only the protective rubber on the ear piece but also the protective grille including fall despite quite normal use. The grid can stick again, the rubber only for a short time, since almost no glue holding it. Then he drops out again.
Packing: In polybag so unspectacular but functional when throwing away or repacking.

5. Phone free headset AVM FRITZ! Fon MT-F 3,5mm port Headset
(From the Bay of 9.12)
Type: in-line headset.
Listening quality: Very dull, not a pleasure, but basically ready.
Voice Quality: Much better, to get at the other end of good.
Office: How the BlackBerry, it depends very much on the personal ear opening.
Handling: Very easy as BlackBerry.
Significance: plugs, cord and shirt clip make a good impression. But the microphone and earpiece look cheap, similar to the single-use headphones from the plane. It is the only headset in the test, which has no mute button.
Packaging: polybag cheaper to match the device.

6. Hama Headset for Fritzfon (3.5mm jack) Black, 20
Type: Simple headset with 2 earphones.
Voice quality: good to bad - entscheident is the location of the microphone relative to the mouth. Especially who uses only one ear plugs, must reckon with temporarily poor voice quality. The opposite will thank you when you place the microphone closer towards your mouth. When both plugs are used, the micro is constant well placed.
Listening quality: Unfortunately, the headset has a little noise, but you can hear the other side relatively loud. Who phoned in a louder environment, will be pleased with the second bud: thus other sounds are much more hidden, the telephone partner is significantly better understanding.
Seat: Provided one chooses the right of the three supplied silicone pad sizes, sitting there good to very good, even during long calls.
Handling: Pretty simple, if the pad size is right. The well functioning volume control on the cable is an additional source of problems that one must have in mind, for others perhaps a decisive purchasing criterion for many. I prefer those headsets since you can turn down the loud tone and loud interlocutor comfortable.
Significance: In total, the Hama headset makes a very good impression in terms of workmanship and precision. Particularly successful, I feel the adapter with micro, volume control and mute button. Then there are the metal casing and the high-order silicone cable.
Packing: Standard Blister for the store shelf. Not quite ecologically, but not a problem for returning.

I hope my review was helpful and look forward to comments and other experiences :-)
