EPOS|Sennheiser IMPACT SC 660 USB ANC Corded Headset

The Sennheiser SC 660 USB ANC Corded Headset is Sennheiser’s USB premium USB corded headset with Active Noise Cancelling and Ultra Noise Cancelling microphone . Its designed to be used with your computer only – no further cables are required as this headset has a direct connect USB end. It is perfect for dictation programmes, webinars, video conferencing, listening to audio / video etc and obviously perfect for noisy offices. If you have a modern phone with a USB connection for a headset port then you can use this with your phone but ONLY if the headset port is USB.

This is a USB only headset. If you need something to work with a desk phone please go to the corded headsets section.

The Century series are Sennheiser’s absolute best headsets – they’ve put their 70 years of expertise to good use on this one. Its really is the best sound you can get in a corded headset, with HD voice clarity, an ULTRA noise cancelling microphone but still lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day.

Modern collaborative office environments are becoming increasingly noisy and challenging our ability to concentrate. Active Noise Cancelling is essentially technology which ‘hears’ the noise around you and sends out tiny signals that you can’t actually hear, to counter-act them. That’s the simplified explanation, anyway – what it means for you is that you can get your work done in peace. If you need to keep an ear out on your colleagues, you can turn this function off.

The ultra noise cancelling microphone means that the person you’re speaking to won’t hear anything but your dulcet tones. Great for dictation in a noisy office as Dragon (or other) won’t get confused with the background noises – so this will minimise the error rate. Most of our headset team wear ultra noise cancelling headsets (albeit wireless) so call and ask for a little over the phone demo of just how much noise it blocks out.

The speakers are made from high quality neodymium so you can hear every utterance. It’s ‘wideband’ so you won’t get that flat tinny quality to the voice – the 660 enhances the voice to sound entirely natural. These earcups fold flat for storage or travel.

The build quality of the SC600 range is second to none; Stainless steel and brushed aluminium parts for lightweight strength, metal re-inforced headband as well as ultra sonic welded microphone housing. In addition Sennheiser as so confident in these headsets that the entire SC 600 range comes with a 3 year warranty instead of the normal 2 years – so you are you feeling the love yet?

As you’d expect from Sennheiser, their patented Activeguard technology protects your hearing from sudden loud noises which can cause acoustic shock. This saves your business from hefty Work Cover claims. It also comes with a useful little magnetic holder which sticks to your desk and magnetises the controls so you always know where they are & makes it easy to press – handy!

The Not So Good

There’s really nothing bad to say about the Century per se – As with any corded headset, with the Sennheiser SC600s you are tethered to your computer via a cable, this can be frustrating when wires lie across your desk and get in the way of papers or drop down and get crushed & tangled under chair wheels.

The Verdict

The Sennheiser SC 660 USB ANC is for staff who are struggling to stay focused because oF background noise, want the best sound via their computer and prefer a corded headset

Other Headsets To Consider Before Buying

If you don’t need the ANC or UNC or every bell & whistle, the is an excellent headset.

Another factor to consider is the extra productivity that can be gained from the freedom to walk away from your desk whilst using your headset.
