I am just curious as
to why our experiences differ so much.
Headsets are an extremely personal thing. Experiences are bound to vary
hugely.

Of course the impressions are personal, but I figure that any distortion
of sound bad enough to render speech unreadable should be universally
detectable. If my headset were borderline, audio-quality-wise, then I
would not be surprised to hear someone say there is enough distortion
to make speech unreadable, but my pair is excellent, so I am somewhat
astonished.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned prices, too.

Prices don't matter when discussing technical differences and/or
problems. Prices do matter when it comes to making decisions by
weighting the pros and cons, but not when talking about sound
quality per se. BTW, regardless of the price of their headsets as
compared to Bose or whatever, they are clearly more than capable of
producing a decent-quality pair of headphones. In fact, given their
non-aviation product line, I do expect any Sennheiser product to be
top-of-the-line, at the very least with regard to audio quality.

Thus my astonishment.

Cheers,
Toby.

Hello my name is Michael Feldbauer and I am the Aviation Product
Manager for Sennheiser Electronic in the USA. First let me say if
anyone is having problems with their Sennheisers please contact me or
our Service department. We continue to strieve to please our
customers but we are aware that in some cases we fail.. Some of what I
have read is based on personal experiences and subjective views of
comfort and audio quality. However some of what is posted would seem
to be related to either a faulty headset or some compatibilty
problems. In most case we can help in both of these areas. There are
many fine products out there and this is good, what we don't want to
see is an unhappy customer if we can fix the problem. Good day and
happy flying.
