Sennheiser PC 8 USB Headset with MicBlack, On the Ear

I bought this to use the inbuilt microphone on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, a very popular speech recognition software product. I've used a number of other headphones with Dragon – no-brand ones by the likes of iBall and Quantum and also namebrand models like Microsoft LifeChat and the Plantronics Audio DSP 400. The Sennheiser PC 8 USB, though, gives me the best results that I've ever experienced with Dragon. I easily get an accuracy rate of 95%. The reason could be that this Sennheiser model has noise canceling, while the others I used did not. It can be hard to compare, though, because when I used the other namebrand models, I was on Dragon 10 and Dragon 11. Now, I am on Dragon 12. I've used other non-branded headset microphones on Dragon 12 and got reasonable results ( 75% accuracy). With the Sennheiser, though,life has suddenly become much easier. While I mainly bought this headset for the microphone, the headphones are quite good, too. Poor bass, but good, loud and pleasant-sounding audio, overall.

This is really great product. PROS 1) Good headphone sound quality great with VOIP calls and also listening songs. 2) Good mic delivers crisp clear sound to receiver. 3) Long 2 meter wire. This is long enough. Cons: minimum volume using headphone volume controller cannot be reduced below one level. I use both headphone and laptop volume controller to control volume hence this is not any issue if you ready with this solution.

The clarity is amazing...I tried to record and hear what i spoke....It was crystal clear..No need to say about Sennheiser...if you have used it ..you will like it..
