Sennheiser PC21 VoIP Headset II PC (personal computer)

Customer Review

Have the headset for use on Fritzfon MT-F bought because it had a positive impression in many reviews. I realized that I may need an adapter and the assignment of the adapter must fit naturally. As far as a non-issue.
If you use adapters, you should briefly check the pinout.

After receipt of the headset I was a little disappointed.
The following negative points:
- The height of the headset can be set only on one side unfortunately (receiver side) In order for the headset is not as convenient..
- The microphone is only a setting of about 135 ° -> You can not just turn to the listener on the right to have.
- Compared to other headsets on the PC or on Fritzfon this headset is yet quiet. Since I mostly use at home alone to techn. To provide support for Family and Friends, it comes. But once more ambient sounds are there, you have to start to focus on the conversation. This applies to discussions with and without an adapter. For safety, I had the adapter again connected to a Lenovo laptop and had the same sonic result.

Positive points:
+ Voice quality: You have to say that is just great. No noise, clear voices and the interlocutors acknowledge a clear sound of my voice.
+ The setting of the microphone are good. The arm can be readily formed and also keeps this form. He can indeed do not deform radially, but I do not think it necessary if I put the microphone right next to the mouth.
+ Quality of the holder of the arm: Although I use the headset regularly, so I have both hands free, and thus the microphone new hiring regularly, keeps the set position once super. That was my biggest concern.

Thus, in summary:
The headset is good use and convinces with clarity. Unfortunately, at the expense of volume. (In my opinion, an important point)
However, the lack of configuration options to fit are a minus. That you can not use the headset on the right side is a botched opportunity.

I must confess that I would have expected more. Considering the price it's okay though, so I've kept it, but there is room for improvement.

For those interested in using a Fritzfon MT-F to note the following:
The Fritzfon has a 4-pin 3.5 mm jack. The headset 2x 3-pin jack.
The adapter must accordingly have the following assignment -> L, R, GND, MIC.
This is also available on the side of AVM.
There are adapters that MIC and GND have the other way. To this end, there are apparently 2 different standards.
