Senal SMH-1020CH2 Reviews

A lot of wasted money

I was very excited to order these as a less expensive, but reliable, alternative to the more expensive Sennheiser models. I read some reviews, and everyone else seemed to be pleased with them. We are a high school live stream team, so saving money when we can is important. We also like to streamline our production, so we purchased these to use with a Vocaster 2--which is highly portable and does not require an extra power cable--to avoid having to carry around full-blown mixer. When I opened the package, I was immediately worried about the build. The cord is not hardwired into the headset--it is a plug-and-twist setup with a 3mm plug. I was also concerned that the other end of this cord was an XLR plug (not a problem) paired with another 3mm plug, requiring the use of an adapter for a 1/4" input; in my experience these adapters just do not work well and always produce some sort of noise. Not sure why Senal doesn't make a model with a dedicated 1/4" plug that is hardwired into the headpiece, though I can see the advantage of having multiple plug options. Unfortunately, these have a high-pitched whine and a lot of static when using them with our Vocaster, making them unusable for us. We have tried other broadcasting headsets to make sure it was not the Vocaster that was the issue, and they worked perfectly. This was a lot of money to spend on something that is basically now just a set of glorified studio headphones. I would like to get a refund and order the Sennheiser models, but we waited too long to try to use them. Next time, I will definitely spend the extra money and buy a more reliable product.

Great Product…after I fixed it

Got this with the cable for clear com. The headset feels really good. Lightweight and comfortable. The mic didn’t work out of the box and I realized that the MFR wired the mic backwards. Once I switched the pins, everything worked great!! Will be buying more.
