I believe it's pronounced Sen-hi-zer, with emphasis on first syllable......and the correct spelling is Sennheiser.

Senn (from esSENtial) Heiser (from Riser - subsitute the "r" for "h").
That's what I think, at least lol.

As it seems to be a German name/company, I believe the pronunciation should be :
Zen - high - sir,
ie. with the emphasis on the first syllable and the three components pronounced as the English words indicated (the 'sir' quite short, as in yessir!)...

It's kind of like,
(sz)en - high - (sz)e(r),
Where (sz) is a sort of cross between s and z, and (r) is a rolled r.
Make sure to pronounce the second e like an e!

Simply: Senn-hei-ser
For English speaking people: Senn-high-zer, with a quite sharp «s» at the beginning and the end spoken like e.g. «wiser» (no rolled «r» in Germany, but partly in Switzerland).

Yeah, me. So you can trust me.
BTW the end with the «...er» shouldn't be pronounced the American way (like from The_Mac), more the English way, or even better the German way.
