 Awesome gaming headset November 24, 2009
M. Willis (Tucson, AZ)
THE best gaming headset I've ever tried! There are better-sounding earphones for music listening, but none of them have microphones.
Quality, sturdy headset that is slightly uncomfortable November 21, 2009
Heath Hash (Madison, Mississippi)
Pros
- 2yr warranty
- Well built
- Mic arm is durable
- Heavy duty cord
- Good sound quality. I had to manually boost the bass, but it was good afterwards.
Cons
- Tight fit. Feels like it squeezes your head a bit and will give you "headphone hair" due to the weight.
- Earphones cover your ears and there's not much in the way of ventilation, causing your ears to get hot after extended use.
- I bought 2 and one had the microphone stop working after a few months, but the repair and turn around was very quick and easy.
- The volume dongle doesn't have a very good range on the low end.
Overall: They're slightly uncomfortable and they definitely aren't a light headset, although this is to be expected from the headset design. Otherwise, they're well built and with the price dropping on them like crazy, not a terrible buy. I definitely wouldn't spend the $230 price tag the Sennheiser website has listed for these, but Amazon has some good deals.
Great for gaming.... November 20, 2009
I am (Florida)
These Sennheiser 350's are the best headsets I own. Very comfortable for hours of gaming, great sound quality. Great construction quality. Made in Germany. Very good mic, for online communications. Long cord with volume control about 3' from the headset. If you're looking at these headsets you probably already know about them. Better than any of the other stuff out there. Highly recommended. I found them online for about $170 or so.
 Disappointing November 18, 2009

Just a cursory out-of-the-box review here, I will update later when I've had a chance to test it further.
Disappointed with what comes with these headphones... that is to say, NOTHING comes with them.
No 1/4" adapters (most high-end sound cards use 1/4" outs on the front panel), no carrying bag, etc.
I expect a lot more from Sennheiser. This product was clearly made for a market of people who have no other experience with high-end audio.
I also own a pair of high-end DJ headphones from Sennheiser and they came with 1/4" screw-on adaptor, carrying bag, and replacement earcup padding. Was hoping I would get something similar from these, but I guess they are a lot less expensive.
Hoping the sound quality is up to par. These are also made in China, unlike Sennheiser's other higher-end products which are made in Europe or Ireland.
Update:
After a week of ownership, I'm not much more impressed by these.
The one positive thing they have going for them is comfort. I can wear them for hours and don't feel any discomfort. For their size they are very lightweight. The large earcups are good for sealing off background noise, although they do make your ears sweat after a while.
Some negatives:
- The bass response is pretty minimal, would be nice if there was a way to adjust it.
- The built in volume adjuster, as mentioned in other reviews, is all but useless. The range it can adjust between is incredibly tiny, almost to the point of being negligible. At most I'd say it has a range of about 10%. So if your system's volume is at 100, turning the switch all the way down would take it to 90, if that. I turn the headphone volume down as far as it goes, and then adjust my system volume to the lowest level that I enjoy, and then can turn it up on the headphones if I want. Even then it's pretty useless.
These are a pretty big disappointment coming from Sennheiser, which is generally top quality. Like I said, this is clearly geared towards a community of people who probably don't know anything about good audio hardware.
Not closed headphones Good drivers November 14, 2009

These are not closed headphones, after you let them burn in they will sound solid. The fit is not a solid, but a look ahead don't move fit. I have the 595's and these are just not closed enough for me to want to switch to them.
