EPOS|Sennheiser IMPACT SC 260 USB MS II Corded Headset

If you’re looking for a corded headset to work with your desk phone, you’ll need to look elsewhere –

This version of the SC 260 USB has controls and is optimised for use with Skype For Business. It will also work with other programmes and applications but, if you don’t intend to use with S4B, you can save some money and go with the standard version – the Sennheiser SC 260 USB CTRL II Corded Headset.

This updated version of the very popular SC 260 USB has leatherette covers over the acoustic foam ear cushions, and comes with the convenient protection of a nylon carry bag. There have also been improvements in the software, including the 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 (the SC 230!) is the one for you. If you’re in a noisy office, or simply want to really focus on the task at hand, get the duo version – the SC 260.

The Sennheiser SC260 MS II is a duo (ear cushions on both ears), wideband noise-cancelling corded-headset, designed for use with PC, softphones, Skype and video conferencing, or voice recognition/dictation systems. The SC 260 is an over-the-head wearing style, complete with a revolving microphone that enables the microphone arm to be placed on the left or right side.

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 that much-needed morning coffee – with it! This helps put a stop to any such dramas because it 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 has created the new benchmark for headsets. Even their entry-level headsets are excellent. Anybody who has ever tried a pair of Sennheiser headphones knows what a difference this quality can make.

The popular SC260MS II offers leatherette ear cushions and a lightweight headband, 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 260 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 SC260 headsets are a great option for call centres using softphones. The name-plate mean headsets won’t get muddled up and the inclusion of the protective nylon pouch helps look after the headset – something that’s particularly useful for those who hotdesk. Added bonus? The metal reinforced headband and durable construction means they will last for years.

The controls allow you to…

• Answer/end a call
• Volume up/down
• Microphone mute
• Redial last outgoing call
• Reject incoming call

The Sennheiser SC260 USB CTRL is probably the best all-round, two-eared, 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. We believe it is the best choice for those that want a corded-headset to keep the budget on track – but still want the benefits of the outstanding sound quality offered by the renowned Sennheiser range.
