Raw Thoughts

On May 29, 2012, the U.S. subsidiary of headphone and microphone manufacturer Sennheiser named Amazon.com its 2011 dealer of the year in its consumer electronics category for generating more revenue for Sennheiser Electronic Corporation in 2011 than any other retailer.

Amazon was also recognized for its excellent sales, customer service and overall presentation of Sennheiser’s diverse product line.

It makes sense, Amazon has such a great collection of Sennnheiser products.

“We are pleased to recognize Amazon as Dealer of the Year in the online retailer category,” said Bill Whearty, vice president of sales and marketing for Sennheiser’s retail division.

“Amazon continues to deliver very impressive year over year sales growth; in fact, Amazon more than doubled its sales of Sennheiser products in 2011 over 2010. We are thrilled that Sennheiser products make an important contribution in Amazon’s premium brand assortment.”

And in honor of Sennheiser naming Amazon the best retailer in their Consumer Electronics category, we’d like to bring you our three favorite headphones from Sennheiser available on Amazon.com.

1. Sennheiser PC 350 Collapsible Gaming Headset with Vol Control & Microphone

   

   These headphones are a great supplement to your Raw Talent Guitar program, because they deliver great sound, but can be used for many other programs that require a microphone as well. So, even though we’re the Rosetta Stone for guitar, and you’ll learn to play using the best guitar lesson videos available, and we don’t require you to have a microphone, many other programs do require you to have a microphone.

   For less than $140, can you ask for anything more?

   Product Features

   • Closed circumaural construction shuts out disturbing ambient noise
   • Large size ear cups for comfortable wearing during long gaming sessions
   • Large size microphone for highest intelligibility

   • Volume control with microphone mute

2. Sennheiser HD 598 Headphones (Burl Wood Accents)

   

   These headphones might not have a microphone like the PC 350 listed above, but they look awesome! Check out the burl wood accents!Also, these are high performance headphones which probably make your guitar playing sound much nicer than the PC 350 above, which are a more versatile pair of headphones.

   These may not be as great for gaming or talking to your friends, but if you want a pair of headphones designed after a European sports sedan, go for these.We like to think of Raw Talent Guitar as the sports sedan of guitar learning education.

   Yes, they cost more. Yes, they are worth it.
   Note: These are much lighter than the HD 598′s, but the 598′s fold up much nicer.

3. Sennheiser HD 429 Headphones Black

   These headphones are a much less expensive version of the headphones above, so if you don’t need that burl wood, but if you still want great sound that Sennheiser is known for, these will do the trick.

   They are still lighter than the PC 350′s.
