Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset

Love these! My music sounds so much better. Great service too. Arrived within two days of ordering and communication was excellent.

Great as a binaural recording solution but not loud enough in use. The pass through audio isn’t loud enough to be of real use as you can’t turn up your music and still hear the mic as the ratio between them isn’t great enough. Otherwise effective and fairly comfy.

Excellent

Okay so I have had this product for a while and I must say it isn't worth the money. However, if you are somebody who makes videos on your iPhone it is ideal. As a pair of earphones, it is a little pointless, the soundstage is great, exactly as you'd expect from Sennheiser (especially at this price haha), but the thing is you could spend the same amount of money and get headphones that are wireless or work on your computer or android too. The only person who really needs these is someone who makes a lot of videos on their iPhone​. The binaural recording is incredible. The microphones work great and do honestly offer incredibly detailed and precise 3d audio. They just seem a little pointless for the price, there are better cheaper alternatives out there for earphones, but as a microphone, for videographers, these are actually awesome and I'd definitely recommend them!!

I had great hopes for these headphones - made by Sennheiser (I have other pairs of their headphones that are great) and preamps by apogee (another great audio company) However, they were a HUGE disappointment. They were either faulty or now no longer properly supported by the latest iOS systems. I tried them on an iPhone 8, a recent iPad and an older iPad. The recording level on all devices was dismally low - to the extent that I could barely hear anything on playback and even just using them as headphones with music the playback level was extremely low, and I never normally listen at high volume. They were returned for a refund.

Average sound quality during playback, but recordings sound great. Really good stereo. Fantastic for environmental sounds.

I got these for their 3d microphones, which work great. Captures real world sound really well. The feel of them in ear is not as good as other earphones I've had, but still okay and not what I bought them for. Seen a lot of bad reviews about the sound quality, but I really haven't noticed.

The first Ambeo smart headset I received had a 12dB discrepancy between the left and right microphones which made it unusable for binaural recording. I got a replacement through Amazon and this one needed a firmware update, which failed and "bricked" the headset (see attached photo). I tried again and it said it will re-install the firmware, but it failed each time (see second photo). I even tried this on multiple iOS devices and none of them worked. As a recording professional, I'm very disappointed by both Sennheiser and Apogee. I expected better from these companies.

Adquirí los Ambeo para usarlos exclusivamente como micrófonos binaurales, no como auriculares. No puedo decir más que estoy impresionado con la calidad de sonido obtenida en grabaciones binaurales. Las grabaciones resultantes tienen un sonido hipercristalino, con apabullante detalle y naturalidad. Una delicia!! Esta es la principal funcionalidad de los Ambeo. Si los vas a usar solo como auriculares, y aunque suenan decentes, hay mejores opciones. Pero como sistema de grabación binaural ultracompacto y todo en uno (micro + previo de micro + convertidor A/D ) y en conjunción con la excelente y supersencilla app de Apogee (Apogee Metarecorder) y por el precio que se puede conseguir ahora que los Ambeo están descatalogados por Sennheiser, es el chollo del siglo en cuanto a relación calidad/precio. Si tienes curiosidad por el sonido binaural esta es una compra obligada! El gran y único pero es que solo funciona con iOS...es decir, únicamente vale para iPads y iPhones. No hay versión Android. P.D.: He leído en otra opinión que no le funcionaba ni en iPhone ni en iPad. Probado en un iPhone 11 y en un iPad mini 5 y funcionan perfectamente.

Commandé Samedi, livré Mardi comme prévu. Produit bien emballé. Dès l'ouverture on reconnait la qualité Sennheiser. Je possède un autre casque de la marque (Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear - Marron ) acheté sur Amazon en 2015 qui est toujours en parfait état. Je n'ai jamais été déçu sur la qualité ( perçue, robustesse, finesse, durée de vie ,...etc ) de cette marque. Port du casque: comme tous les écouteurs, c'est une question d'anatomie et... d'aisance. Sur moi ( homme de taille moyenne 1,78m, oreilles ordinaires ), les oreillettes se positionnent bien; même si j'ai eu un moment de doute au début. Différents embouts de tailles diverses sont fournis. le doute se dissipe et on s'habitue vite. Un manuel simple d'utilisation est fourni avec. Qualité son: Le Sennheiser est plus transparent que les écouteurs habituels; laissant entendre les détails de la musique - C'est ce qui est demandé à tout appareil de reproduction sonore - Mais, les gens sont habitués à utiliser des casques qui "arrondissent" le son, qui ajoute de la basse,..etc. J'ai comparé avec le casque d'origine de mon iPhone 8. Réduction bruit: ça marche; mais pas au point de supprimer le bruit d'un A320 au décollage. Dans les halls, aéroports, gares...etc, on note bien la réduction du bruit jusqu'à un seuil. Longueur câble: suffisant. Identique à celui fourni avec un iPhone 8 Enregistrement 3D: désolé; pas encore essayé. Seul point d'amélioration: le coude qui fait contour des oreilles n'est pas en plastique anti-statique. D'un autre côté ça l'aurait rendu plus rigide, ce qui n'aurait pas favorisé l'adaptabilité à différentes personnes (opinion personnelle) Pour l'ensemble , très bon produit, Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Qualité sonore excellente à ce prix. Je Recommande.

Al prezzo che hanno oggi sono un affare. Cancellazione rumore abbastanza buona. Usano la batteria del telefono per cui potrebbe essere un problema ma risolvibile con uno sdoppiatore di alimentazione. Come hanno scritto altri, non sono comodissime nell’orecchio ma la loro caratteristica principale è la registrazione binaurale e l’ascolto è inteso solo come monitor .

Lo uso para conectar al Waze en el móvil. El mando me resulta demasiado grande y con muchas fucciones.

…ho trovato la Confezione delle cuffie manomessa, come se fosse stata aperta preventivamente. In ogni caso ho deciso di tenerle perché erano in perfette condizioni ed in effetti si è rivelato un buon prodotto. Il suono è pulito, buon equilibrio delle armoniche, anche con le telefonate funziona tutto bene, unico neo: forse può essere a causa dell’armatura del cellulare, ma la presa alle volte fatica ad entrare bene nel telefono, con movimenti vari si possono disconnettere e occorre reinserirle per utilizzarle nuovamente, non sarebbe un grosso problema se non che la cosa può accadere più volte in caso di attività fisica intensa..
