Sennheiser HME 27 | Pre-polarized Condenser Broadcast Cardioid Headset without Cable Connection

The Sennheiser HME 27 headset is designed to meet the stringent demands of broadcast commentators and audio engineers, providing an unparalleled experience in comfort and sound reproduction. This closed, circumaural earcup design offers high passive attenuation while remaining lightweight and exceedingly comfortable for extended periods of use. The soft circumaural ear pads keep the pressure off the sensitive fontanelle, making it ideal for long working hours. The headset also features a unique two-piece headband that automatically opens to reduce pressure, but it can be converted to a conventional single-piece headband with the included wide padding.

Equipped with a pre-polarized condenser microphone with cardioid directivity, the HME 27 headset ensures precise audio reproduction with superior intelligibility, even in noisy environments. The ActiveGard technology protects against unexpected noise peaks above 110dB, safeguarding your hearing. The headset's modular design supports various cables and boom arms, enhancing its flexibility. The swiveling ear cap allows for single-sided listening, and the microphone can be worn on either the right or left side, accommodating a variety of user preferences.
