EPOS Sennheiser SC 60 USB ML Business Headset (504547) - Noise Cancelling Mic, HD Sound, USB Connector | Perfect for Skype Meetings, Call Centers & Remote Work (Black)

The headset fits well and is comfortable. It's plug and play with my Apple laptop and works properly through my keyboard's USB port. Having the remote is very useful, especially for muting the mic and it has saved me from embarrassment during web conferences from home. The headphones are better than expected but not audiophile quality (I'm sure nobody expects this to be). Also keep in mind that these do not block out outside sound.Perhaps the only downside (a minor one) is the short mic. It is not long enough to rest directly in front of my mouth, but turning up the mic input on my computer allows it to pick up the normal volume of my voice and have it audible on the other end.Other than that, the microphone is excellent and does not pick up excessive noise from the background. I have an air purifier set to the highest speed that is always turned on sitting just 4 feet away from me and it is not picked up by the microphone. I've tested this with a voice recording software and listened to the playback in silence (with the air purifier turned off). Just for comparison, I have an Olympus WS-823 voice recorder and that device picks up the sound of the air purifier from the other end of the room; a distance of 15 feet.In essence, if you are looking for a headset with an emphasis on mic quality and comfort because you are planning on wearing this for extended periods of time, this is a very good choice and perhaps the best choice in this price range. If a sound quality is more important than the microphone, maybe a gaming headset would be a better choice.
