Sennheiser Profile USB: signal and controlsChecked October 9, 2026

Connections: USB-C · 3.5 mm headphone
Mute the microphone: Soft-touch mute button with a light ring
Hear your microphone: 3.5 mm headphone output with volume and a mic/computer mix control

You want a direct USB computer input without a separate audio interface.
You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
You will use the supplied physical configuration or verify the mount before adding an arm.

The 1.2 m cable is short for a tower PC under the desk; plan a longer USB-C cable if yours is.
It is a condenser: speak close and keep it off the keyboard's line.
A USB connector alone does not make this model a console microphone. Check the exact platform below.
Check the stand, thread and desk position before ordering a mount. Include attached shock mounts and adapters in the total weight. Arms rated for this mic →

Its maker lists: 3.5 mm headphone output with volume and a mic/computer mix control.

Does the Sennheiser Profile USB work on PS5?

Sennheiser doesn't say. The PS5 takes many USB mics, but we only mark a model as working when its maker states it.

Connect the parts shown in the diagram. If you use XLR, connect the microphone to the interface before selecting it in your app.
Choose the intended input in the operating system. Run the Discord input check or use your console’s microphone test.
Check speaking level and mute with headphones on. Change only one gain, sensitivity or suppression control between tests.
