I would and have on several occasions recommended this product
by Lamar from Pensacola FL USA
Review: Doesn't compare to a Lightspeed Zulu. For the price and infrequent use, it's a great product. I fly 4-8 hours a day and prefer the zulu.

Short boom mic
by A Customer from Layton UT USA
Pros: All other features are very nice.
Cons: Again short mic boom.
Review: Love the headset...except the boom mic is to short. It needs to be an inch or so longer so that it sets almost in front of the lips instead of to far back to the side of my mouth.

Good Headset
by A Customer from Colby KS USA
Pros: lightweight, cost, easy to use, good battery life, I got free headphones on rebate
Cons: not tight enough. indicator LED on ear
Review: This headset is very comfortable, easy to use, and the price isn't bad. It would be better if it was a little tighter. Good for quiet airplanes like the p210 but very noisy in an old Apache.

Very Nice
by Peter from Newburgh ME USA
Pros: The value of the headset compared to other brands.
Cons: none as of yet
Review: Comes with all all accessories. I owned a Bose X prior and I feel the Sennheiser out performs the Bose. I had read in other reviews that the Sennheiser headset did not fit well for some. I took the chance and was glad I did. It was a good fit.

Good product
by Preston from Bismarck ND USA
Review: The headset is very comfortable and super light, I like the way it folds up, the noise cancelling is very worth the price. The drawbacks are, since it is so light and comfortable it doesn't seal very tight, gell ear pads aren't available or I haven't found any yet. Other than the drawbacks I would definately recommend this product if you're looking for noise cancelling and you dont want to spend $900-$1000 on another headset.

Excellence with some issues
by Leonid from Rumson NJ USA
Pros: Light weight, Quality of materials and design, folds into small space
Cons: Not tight enough on the head.
Review: It is another example of an excellent German engineering, but it has some issues. Overall it is manufactured with high quality and craftsmanship, it's a pleasure to take in hands. It is designed to fold into a box that takes very little space in the bag, an important thing. It is so light that even with a battery in each head piece you don't feel in on your head, that's why I bought it for my passengers. But, as another user mentioned in his review (and I fullishly ignored) the headset is not hugging your head tight and lets noise to come through. If you are flying Cirrus, it would be fine, but in a beaten-up rental Piper it's a bit noisy. Another mystery is that it doesn't work in my passenger side, but works on pilot side, while my other headset works in both. I can't figure it out yet, so I am using it for myself. I will keep it, even though I wouldn't buy if I need another set.

by A Customer from Melbourne VIC Australia

I regret to bought the Sennheiser HMEC250.
by Jordi from Montcada i Reixac Spain
Pros: Looks like very nice.
Cons: -ANR not enoght
Review: If they say, "attenuation passive: 13 - 34 dB, active: 16 - 25 dB", I sum and I consider that the maximum attenuation will be 59, I think it's not bad, but the truth is that doesn't work good for a noisy plane. I fly the Metroliner, it's a very noisy plane, and I need a good headsets, I thought the Sennheiser HMEC250 could be good, but the the truth is that after expend money I'm now using the company's headsets.

Good but could be better
by Andy pilot to be from Coolangatta QLD Australia
Pros: cheap, good, nice, tt is good, input for music and phone works nicely
Cons: lacking in ear sealing and clamp force
Review: Its' ANR is really good. Talk through function is remarkable. The headsets actually amplify the inputs of the radio calls and your voice so it's really clear however the noise reduction isn't that well passively. There are loops around the ears where sound leaks in therefore sealing isn't great and clamping force is nice and comfortable but lacking if there was a better ear sealing and clamp force it'd be a great heaadset. For such low price compared to Bose and all, the clamp force and sealing can be overcome by simply tying a string at each ear and tying under your chin really tight and tada a cessna 172 with full power during a long climb will be nice and quiet, seriously:)

Great headset with good Cost vs Quality
by David Coelho from Lisboa, Portugal
Pros: Lightweight, confortable, excelent sound
Cons: Awkward volume box, earsealing could be better
Review: I already used it flying C152, C172 and PA34 with several different radio models. It is a very light and confortable headset as well as good looking and though built. On the practical side, sound quality is excelent (afterall it derives from the PXC 450 travel headphone), the ear seal could be better (sometimes it feels that the drawback of being so light on the head is the slight lack of pressure that would give a better ear sealing), the volume control/inputs box could get a bit awckward getting easily stuck (for example in the seat). I feel that the passive protection (in case you run out of batteries) is worst than a Senheizer HME 110 but better than a Telex 25 or a David Clark H20-10. Active protection feels great. Hope this review helps! Regards David Coelho

I would most def buy again!!
by B-Diz from Sanford FL USA
Pros: Comfortable, light weight, takes up little room, talk through capability, MP3 input.
Cons: none
Review: This headset was exactly what I was expecting. Comfortable, lightweight and great looking. Although this was my first headset I would not have bought anything else for the price. I've had this headset for 2 months now and I have no problem or complaints about it. Noise cancelling works great and does its job. I fly everyday and was glad I choose the Sennheiser 250 due to comfortability. Also can't go wrong with being able to listen to a MP3.

Looks Nice, But That's About It
by A Customer from New York, NY
Pros: Cool features, sleek styling
Cons: Uncomfortable, seal around ear easily broken
Review: The headset comes in very nice packaging and it's a very sleek looking headset, but that's where the positives end. The headset is marginally comfortable at best, and the seal around your ear is broken with normal movement. It comes with a very low profile hard case, which is nice, but after folding up the headset and trying to get everything into it, you realize it doesn't zip. You can't fit both the headset and the cord in! It also folds very awkwardly and takes a bit of getting used to.
