EPOS|Sennheiser IMPACT SC 230 USB MS II Corded Headset
If you’re looking for a corded headset to work with your desk phone, you’re in the wrong place –
What is EPOS? EPOS is the new co-branded name for Sennheiser.
This updated version of the very popular SC 230 USB CTRL has leatherette covers over the acoustic foam ear cushions, and comes with a nylon carry bag. There have also been improvements in the software, with the handy addition of an EU limiter (to further reduce risk of acoustic shock, due to sudden loud noises). Audiophiles will be happy with the new automatic ‘music mode’ to improve quality when listening to music, which has never been great for USB headsets designed primarily for voice communication.
Not sure if you want a headset with two ear cushions or one? If you want to hear what’s going on around you, a one-eared headset (this SC 230!) is the one for you. And if you’re in a noisy office, or want to really focus on the task at hand, get the duo version – the SC 260.
The Sennheiser SC230 USB CTRL II is a monaural, wideband noise-cancelling corded headset, designed for use with PC, softphones, Skype and video conferencing, or voice recognition/dictation systems. The SC 230 is an over-the-head wearing style, with a revolving microphone that enables the gadget to be worn on either ear.
The controls allow you to…
- Answer/end a call
- Volume up/down
- Microphone mute
- Redial last outgoing call
- Reject incoming call
Anyone who’s used a corded headset knows how annoying it is when the weight of the cable drags it off the desk, taking your papers – and probably your morning coffee – with it! To prevent that hassle, the SC 230 USB CTRL II has a nifty little magnetic attachment on the back of the control unit, so the control panel stays on your desk with your coffee and you can quickly click mute when you cough or sneeze, rather than fumbling about under the desk for the controls. Such a simple idea – but so effective.
Sennheiser’s experience & expertise in high-end professional audio has been ploughed into their headsets and the resultis the impressive new benchmark for headsets. Even their entry-level headsets are excellent. Anybody who has tried a pair of Sennheiser headphones knows what a difference this quality can make.
The popular SC230 USB CTRL offers leatherette ear cushions and a lightweight headband, complete with multiple positioned grooves to ensure ultimate comfort. The noise-cancelling microphone prevents any unwanted noise being heard by your callers, while the flexible boom ensures perfect positioning. The SC 230 USB headset has a ‘dual-ear cup hinge system’ which basically means that the ear cup will fit precisely & comfortably to your ear even if you have an odd-shaped head!
These durable SC230 headsets are a great option for call centres using softphones. The name-plate mean headsets won’t get muddled up, and the thoughtful inclusion of the nylon pouch helps protect the headset and is particularly useful for those who hotdesk. To make it even better, the metal reinforced headband and durable construction means they will last for years.
The Sennheiser SC230 USB CTRL is probably the best all-round USB-corded headset we’ve found. It’s robust without being heavy or bulky and perfect for call centres (and offices alike) requiring a USB-style headset. It really is the best choice for anyone wanting a corded headset within a tight budget, while still wanting the outstanding sound quality offered by the Sennheiser range.
