Sennheiser Pxc 550 Wireless Headset

The DA35 adapter is being used to adapt a headset mic (microdot) to my Sennheiser EW100 wireless system. The results have been excellent.

For years I had been using the older Sennheiser RS 120 wireless headset which operated in the 926-928 MHz frequency range. The performance was adequate, but the unit suffered from multipath cancellation (signal reduction due to the out of phase combination of multiple reflections). You will notice this when you move your head slightly, and there would be a sudden, and audible, change in signal amplitude or a short burst of background noise. As I had need for an addition system, I decided on the RS 175 as it seemed to have good reviews. I have not been disappointed. The RS 175 operates in the 2.4 GHz band with digital modulation. While 2.4 GHz systems are also subject to multipath propagation deterioration, I noticed none with this system, even with the headset taken outside onto the patio with the transmitter 40+ feet away. As typical with digital modulation systems, there was a threshold effect -- if the headset got out of range, the signal would abruptly disappear, quieting the audio -- in the past, you would simply be greeted with noise. In addition, I very much like the Bass Boost and Surround Sound options which can be quickly selected at the press of a button on the headset. The one negative for the headset is that you need to really take the headset off in order to figure out which button to press. I find this a rather minor inconvenience as I am not changing audio level, bass boost or surround sound options on the fly. In summary, Sennheiser did a superb job with this unit. The audio quality is excellent (I used an analog input -- an optical interface also exists for even better quality) and the annoying multipath effects so common with many wireless headsets are non-existent.

This works with the Sennheiser HMD 26 headset and works well

I think sennheiser is the best wireless system

Sennheiser wireless is flawless. It never fails.

I use these for my sony & sennheiser wireless system.

Works great with my Sennheiser wireless lav set up.

amazing product, you won't find a better wireless headset.

Nice unit.  Very well built, easy to use.  But weve all come to expect that from the upper level Sennheiser stuff anyway.  It is half rack design and I was able to mount it side by side with an older, Audio Technica 3000 series in my rack by only drilling one hole in the connector plate on bottom...fits nicely.  The picture of the headset mic is a little deceiving; the headband looks large and robust, but that wide section youre looking at is just a thin cloth band that does not conform to the molded wire frame assembly like it looks in the picture.  I think they must have put a lot of starch in it to hold that shape for the product photo.  With that said, the headset is still of decent quality overall and I like the fact that it uses a condenser mic instead of dynamic.  I choose this particular headset because I provide wireless for events that have younger children and the fancier, more expensive ear hanging headset mics do not stay on those tiny ears and heads all that well.  This is a little bulkier but will hold on where the other, sleeker models will fall off.  I like everything about the display on both the transmitter and receiver.  Dont misunderstand me; I like the Audio Technica UHF stuff that is available at this price point.  The Sennheiser electronics and features are literally apples to apples the same as the comparable model Audio Technica, but about $20.00 more for the Sennheiser.  For that extra $20 you get a condenser headset mic (the A/T is dynamic) and a little more robust headset.   Im not walking away wishing I could have had...  This is exactly the headset wireless I wanted.

I use this product to carry my Sennheiser wireless mic and it's been great thus far! Solid case and keeps everything organized. Wireless mics are very fragile but this case protects from any bumps or damages. Definitely recommend this to anyone who has a wireless.
