There is a pretty good deal atm on this headset and been thinking about getting my first wireless headset for a while. Am curious about how it runs on Linux, as I’ve seen some controversy on this headset on website that shall not be named, but that was 3 years ago now. I dont expect to be running their propriety software for equalizing sound - but would like to know if the headset performs as it should out of the box and if the additional sound system works well. If anyone has any experience with this i’d be more than happy to hear about it. Other headset recommendations welcome to (wireless though) :)

    Also, like I said, battery replacement is VERY easy.

    There is literally an official PDF for how to access it.

    The part number for the battery is AHB732038TPCT (found out by opening mine) which is like a cheat code you can put into google to find one :D

    Even better, Sennheiser seems to use standardized batteries for all their wireless stuff. There is actually a lot of empty space inside these, so I kinda wanna try replacing the “proper” battery with part number AHB622540N01, which is the battery for Sennheisers Momentum bluetooth headphones.

    Single cell batteries all put out the exact same voltage, and are charged the same way regardless of capacity, which makes small ones interchangeable with big ones (unless the circuitry is unnecessarily smart). This other battery is 1000mAh (original is 530mAh), which should net these babies 200 hours!!

    Also new pads can be found by looking for part numbers GSA371 or GSA301, but these are getting harder to find, so probably gonna need to find some generic ones that work.

        Also, easyeffects can be used to apply audio processing, if you want to. (Should be in basically any distros default repos)

        I don’t use any effects on the output, as they sound great, but I do use dynamic range compression on the mic for the benefit of my friends.

        It levels out the loudness, so whether you whisper or shout, you sound the same level of loud. That way they can hear you even if you speak quetly, or don’t get their ears blown off if you loudly swear in frustration.

        Doing the same on windows was way too much work to ever bother with, on linux, easy peasy.
