Sennheiser CUIPC1 UI to PC Cable

Well made but has compromises

I use the cable to connect my BW900 headset to my videoconferencing terminal. The quality is very good and the cable is plenty long enough so if your PC is floor mounted it will almost certainly reach. However the setup is peculiar. In order to connect the BW900 base unit to the PC you have to plug the cable into the same port that your desk phone's headset cable would plug in to.Basically you either have the PC interface or the phone interface, ...

Also, even though the cable is colour coded it comes with no instructions telling you which jack plug is mic-in or audio-out (you just have to trust the standard colour conventions). You also have to know it must plug into the port labeled phone on the BW900base unit, or guess, as I did, and it worked. Overall I am happy with the cable which is this review. The BW900 is a very nice headset, although I am not impressed with the audio quality it provides, it is rather muffled and probably better suited to telephony than broadband audio. Given that this cable is only an RJ12 to 2 3.5mm mono jacks it is extremely expensive.Show Less
