Of course, it is a 3.5mm connected headset, so if you want the USB sister model, the PC166, you have to pay almost $100 more (that is also an open-backed set, which I can only imagine reduces isolation).
I can almost guarantee you that no other brand will touch the audio quality of a Sennheiser headset at the same price range.
