I realized a weird cracking in the left ear which reminded me why I didn&#8217;t use these pairs for a long time. I decided to figure out what exactly causes the sound issue. After taking away the ear foam there is a mesh which also have to be dismantled. I checked the speakers and realized two plastic parts. After a little bit search I identified the small high tone speaker on top of the main speaker. The seat wall where it is pressed in is broken &#8211; on both sides. The mic still sits great there. After gently pulling out the broken plastic parts  the headset is working like on day one&#8230; Give it a try if you own a pair of these, it is worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"http:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369956193882377397897721.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369956193882377397897721.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369956193882377397897721-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369956193882377397897721-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369956193882377397897721-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369956193882377397897721-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"http:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369983221753007500068725.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369983221753007500068725.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369983221753007500068725-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369983221753007500068725-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369983221753007500068725-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-15907459369983221753007500068725-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/img_20200529_1148514905274036278271433-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/img_20200529_1148514905274036278271433-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/img_20200529_1148514905274036278271433-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/img_20200529_1148514905274036278271433-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/img_20200529_1148514905274036278271433-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scheisser.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/img_20200529_1148514905274036278271433-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t use my Sennheiser MM 500 for long time but resurrected them a few days ago to compare these to my headset provided by my employer.
