Sennheiser HME 26 Dual-Ear On-Ear Broadcast Headset with Condenser Microphone (No Cable)

Sennheiser HME 26 Dual-Ear On-Ear Broadcast Headset

The Sennheiser HME 26 Dual-Ear On-Ear Broadcast Headset with Condenser Microphone is a trusted choice for professional TV and radio broadcasting, especially in outdoor environments where clarity, comfort, and durability are essential. Built for long production days and demanding live coverage, this headset delivers broadcast-grade audio while protecting your ears from high-volume peaks.

Designed for Clear, Reliable Broadcast Audio

At the heart of the HME 26 is a condenser boom microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, offering excellent isolation from surrounding noise. With a frequency response reaching up to 20 kHz, it captures rich, natural vocal tones with precision. The mic capsule is shockmounted, which reduces structure-borne noise and ensures consistent sound quality in motion-heavy environments.

Lightweight Comfort for Extended Use

The lightweight, ergonomic design of the HME 26 makes it ideal for long hours of use in the field or studio. It features extra-soft ear cushions and a padded headband that provide lasting comfort without fatigue. Whether you're commentating a sports event or reporting live, this headset keeps you focused and comfortable.

Hearing Protection with ActiveGard Technology

To protect your hearing in unpredictable broadcast environments, the headset includes ActiveGard™ limiting technology with three selectable attenuation levels: Off, 95 dB, and 110 dB. This feature ensures that sudden loud audio spikes don't reach your ears, without compromising sound quality or detail.

Flexible Features for Real-World Needs

The closed-back on-ear headphone design offers effective noise isolation, helping you monitor with confidence even in noisy surroundings. A swiveling earcup lets you quickly switch to single-ear listening when needed, and the microphone boom can be worn on either side, depending on your preference.

The modular design of the HME 26 gives you added versatility. It supports a range of optional cables and boom arms, allowing for easy integration into different broadcast setups. Please note that a cable is not included and is required for operation.
