The HMDC 27 is an excellent product; although quite expensive, the amazing cardioid mic quality in any type of environment allows you to use it everywhere. Living in a quite noisy apartment due to poorly soundproofed windows, the closed over-ear headphones greatly reduced this inconvenience, and people listening to me could barely hear cars any more (just slight background noise, barely noticeable).
However, I had to remove one star for the headphones sound. You should not expect audiophile levels of listening with this product. Although all levels are very clear (especially the bass), I had to play with my mixer a little bit to have both ears at the same level -left ear was a bit too low. This issue is probably due to the mic and cable being on the left side as well, causing it to be a bit unbalanced.

HMD 27 VS HMDC 27:
HMDC version comes with XLR & jack cable, HMD does NOT. HMDC also has an additional noise cancel switch that can be useful. If you do not already own cables, get the HMDC version.

Overall, excellent product for the price tag, would definitely recommend for broadcasters, radio hosts or streamers.
