Sennheiser HME 26 S Professional Single-Sided On-Ear Broadcast Headset

The Sennheiser HME 26 S (Official Article Number: 700321) is a premium, lightweight single-sided (one-ear) closed-back supra-aural (on-ear) broadcast headset purpose-built for outdoor television, live radio reporting, and dynamic communication intercom environments.

The "S" designation specifies its single-sided frame layout, allowing commentators and operators to maintain direct acoustic contact with local venue cues, producers, or colleagues off-mic. The "E" designation indicates its high-performance electret condenser microphone capsule, which delivers an extended high-frequency vocal tracking curve comparable to standalone studio recording microphones.

Key Acoustic and Operational Attributes

  • Single-Sided Isolation Framework: Features a single active on-ear cup paired with a comfortable, non-padded secondary temple support arm on the opposing side. This layout keeps one ear completely free to monitor local environment cues, crowd atmosphere, or direct conversations without removing the headset.

  • Pre-Polarized Electret Cardioid Capsule: Outfitted with a high-transient, noise-reducing electret condenser microphone element ($40\text{ Hz}$ to $20,000\text{ Hz}$). Its cardioid pickup profile filters out ambient stage chatter and background city noise, delivering crisp and authentic vocal articulation.

  • Triple-Setting ActiveGard Hearing Protection: Equipped with a built-in protective ActiveGard limiting circuit. Accessible via an onboard switch mechanism, it lets operators choose between three protection thresholds (Off, 95 dB, or 110 dB SPL) to tame sudden incoming communication blasts or line feedback.

  • Flexible Left- or Right-Side Wear: The microphone boom arm rotates a full 270 degrees, allowing it to be worn on either the left or right ear. The temple stabilizer and active ear cushion naturally shift to align with the chosen side configuration.

  • Modular Cable-II Architecture Base: Ships directly from the factory without an attached cable. The headset features a specialized multi-pin connector socket at the base of the cup, enabling seamless integration with Sennheiser's Cable-II series (such as the XLR-3/1/4" combo or XLR-4F variants).

Field Configuration and Power Management Advice

Supplying Bias Power to the Electret Capsule: Because the HME 26 S utilizes a condenser microphone element rather than a dynamic one, the capsule requires electrical bias power to operate. When using standard combination cables (like the Cable II-X3K1), ensure that P48 Phantom Power is turned on at your audio console, camera body, or intercom base station. If phantom power is turned off on that channel, the single-sided headphone will still play audio perfectly, but the microphone will not register a signal.

Shock-Mount Management and Care: The electret capsule inside the boom head is protected by an internal mechanical shock-mount suspension array designed to absorb structure-borne noise, such as frame adjustments or cable rubbing. When adjusting the boom angle, handle it by the flexible mid-section rather than grabbing the microphone head capsule itself. This protects the internal suspension from being forced out of alignment over long production seasons.

Very stylish and looks really lovely on the kitchen island. Been using it for over 3 months. only little complain I had is that I wish they do a better job cleaning up the back of the board, there are some wood spike that aren't fully smooth out.

low quality; not as advertised
Low quality. The wood has an unpleasant smell, even after initial washing and thorough drying followed by extensive seasoning. Several of the surfaces of the boards were rough. One board was gouged on the bottom (I typically use both sides of the cutting board). Another board had a small amount of wood filler on the bottom. I was forced to sand most of the surfaces in order to smooth them before I seasoned them. There are gaps in the stand where boards join that are not filled. The boards are purported to be pre-oiled, but I didn't see any evidence of that. The "detachable non-slip rubber feet" are not attached and are a little too hard to be "non-slip". If you want to attach the feet then you are on your own - there are no pilot holes and the screws are not self-tapping. The screws have a conical, tapered head and so they do not match well to the feet - a washer-head screw would be the correct type of fit. Lastly, I don't know my wood types that well, but furniture and cutting board acacia is said to be significantly harder than oak. These cutting boards do not strike me as being as hard as my old oak cutting board.
