AKG HSC15 - Headset with jack cables

AKG HSC15 - On-ear conference headset with condenser microphone and dual 3.5 mm mini-jack

The AKG HSC15 is a professional on-ear headset designed for conferencing, simultaneous interpretation , education and VOIP applications where clear voice, long-lasting comfort and a direct 3.5mm jack connection are required. It features 40mm dynamic speakers and an omnidirectional condenser microphone mounted on a gooseneck boom that maintains constant intelligibility even if the microphone is not perfectly positioned. Its low-impedance architecture ( 32 Ω ) and sensitivity of 113 dB SPL/mW provide sufficient level to overcome room noise when needed, with a wide response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz .

Designed for intensive use, it combines a shape-retaining stainless steel spring frame with a soft TPE headband and easy-to-clean, high-gloss polished plastic ear cups. The fit is wide: ±10° per cup with a 63 mm headband per side , and an optimized contact pressure of 2.2 N for hours of use. Contact noise is reduced thanks to the 1.5 m , 2.5 mm diameter TPU-coated cable , which terminates in two gold-plated 3.5 mm mini-jacks (headphones and microphone), a format common in interpreter desks and also compatible with PC/laptop. The set is very light: 108 g without cable (118 g with cable).

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it work with laptops? Yes, on computers with separate microphone and headphone inputs (2 x 3.5 mm). If your laptop has a single 3.5 mm TRRS combo jack, it may require an adapter (not included).
• Is the cable detachable? Yes. The headset uses a 6-pin mini XLR connector and supports various AKG MK HS series cables.
• Is it comfortable for hours on end? Its low contact pressure (2.2 N), weight of 108 g, and multiple adjustments are designed for long periods of time.

AKG cable compatibility (optional)

In addition to the standard cable with 2x3.5 mm , AKG offers alternatives from the MK HS series such as the MK HS MiniJack (PC/conference, 2x3.5 mm) or the MK HS Studio C (6.3 mm jack + 3-pin XLR for microphone), among others.
