The HMD 26-600-XQ from Sennheiser is a professional-quality dual-ear communications headset, ideal for TV and radio broadcast applications. The headset has a lightweight design with an adjustable split-style headband and thick on-ear cushions for lasting comfort. The cushions also help to attenuate unwanted environmental noise. If you need to maintain awareness of your surroundings, the flip-away design allows single-ear listening.

The headphones are designed to deliver high SPL levels, but also employ Sennheiser's ActiveGard technology to protect the listener from volume peaks, minimizing the risk of hearing damage. The hypercardioid dynamic microphone has a focused pickup pattern for excellent speech intelligibility. The flexible gooseneck allows precise positioning, and it can be installed on the left or right side of the headset. When tilted into an upright vertical position, the mic automatically goes into mute mode.

The single-sided steel cable provides exceptional durability, and also minimizes snags and tangles. It has a 3-pin XLR connector for the microphone, and a 1/4" connector for the headphones. The headset has a modular design that allows to you easily replace the cable, mic boom, and ear cushions for a long life of professional use.
