I wanted a good mono headset that was comfortable and didn't make my ears feel bruised after ~8 hours of use 5 days a week. I also wanted a headset that wasn't immersive and stereo meaning covering both ears as my line of business is technical support and I would rather just hear mono audio through 1 ear. This helps peoples bad attitudes not rub off on me or affect my performance.
The mute button does flash red if muted *no matter what circumstance* and the call button goes green when on a call with certain software, in my testing Microsoft Teams which is kind of like Skype.
The microphone quality is fantastic with a very natural and crisp sound. The noise cancellation is questionable though because I could hear my dog barking 2 rooms away through 2 closed doorways on a QuickTime test recording. I suppose if the software you're using also allows or has a codec that does software noise cancellation you'd be safe but with my job we can't have dogs/kids or basically anything that isn't expected to be heard in a real "office" environment.
The headset is very light, the earpiece is extremely soft and unlike anything I've ever experienced as far as "on ear" headphones go. It's VERY comfortable. Most "on ear" are that crappy leather material that eventually leaves your ear lobes feeling bruised and tired after 8 hours. Not these. Very cool material, pun intended and very very soft and adaptable to your ears (left or right).
Sennheiser you hit the nail on the head here. IF you could make the microphone a bit better noise cancelling that would be good but honestly anything more would probably compromise the beautiful quality of the microphone on this headset, so forget it. :)
Totally worth $35 and the reviews where people say the cable lasted 1 year with heavy daily use still seems extremely reasonable at the price point. If I get 1 year or more out of this headset I'll order another. Fantastic.

Disappointed
Head band hard stiff plastic- very uncomfortable. Mouth piece is not flexible and sits flush on my mouth - not good for talking and I work from home as customer service agent...I talk a lot. Mouth piece can only be moved up an down, not out and away from mouth. Also stiff cheap scratchy feeling foam around ear piece. Sound quality only mediocre. I will be returning.
