I like 2 things mentioned here (among others):
1. the advantage of open back design from a practicality standpoint and eardrum health
2. the sufficiency of a good stereo driver implementation for localization as opposed to X.1 ploughin software simulation
I ordered this headset according to your review. i hope it lives to the expectations.
It definitely lives to the expectations.
Gopnik McBlyat bro I’m thinking of buying these now but for Xbox one x and won’t have an amp to power them... will they still be good? U like yours huh. I have steelseries arctis 3 right now and they are comfy
@@xampleman honestly, they sound pretty good, for me they are very comfy, the mic is so clear. the only thing that could be a problem to some people is the sound of the wire rubbing against your clothes. other than that i give them 10/10
I did the same thing and got disappointed not on the headset but on my onboard sound from motherboard :( there's insane mic hissing going on. I wonder what he used in this video that made it sound so clear
@@tugrulserhat i guarantee you that i'm connecting mine directly to the motherboard and i have no problems. i'm not sure but you might need to update sound drivers or motherboard bios.
My favorite tech youtuber. Nice work D. I actually just bought a Game One to compare to my Audio Technica ADG1.......it was not better. It was good, but the AT just had a wider range for mids/highs and an even more open sound stage (take a look at how OPEN the ADG1 or ADG1x really are). Have you tried a pair of AT ADG1s? Honestly, I believe they are superior to the Game Series, having tried both side by side. Also, the cord is not braided, so less shirt rubbing noise, the mic is incredible (you must hear it to believe it.....my wife recorded some business presentations with it and it was studio quality imo) and its default cable is much easier to adapt to a controller (xbox one or PS4) without having to unplug it. Check it out man!
seems to be discontinued :(
I believe the ADG1 were upgraded to the ADG1x still available for purchase from the Audio Technica website.
I want to see a comparison video but I wonder if a combo jack makes a difference in terms of mic quality compared to a dedicated port
Would love to see a comparison vid as well.
The combo jack on the ADG1 plugs direct into a console controller and comes with a slitter extension (green / pink) for PC.
My Hyper X Clouds died after some serious hours of sevice, was about to order another pair simply because of their affordability but decided to look on eBay, first.
Stumbled access a pair of open box Game Ones for 60$ and after seeing numerous recommendation not just for open back but for the Game Ones from you I pulled the trigger. 2 days with them and the difference open back + the comfort and clarity makes is unreal.
I'm definitely on team open back now haha
open back for life.
When you do the mic reviews, can you do samples of a gaming scenario. Like keyboard and mouse clicking in the background.
Brennon is game one good, what did you buy?
@@kry1429 i have the game one, it is awesome, i love it. sadly mic broke today so I'm on search
Will these give me immersive sound? I need to know because I'm going to be balls deep in VR hentai and I want to be transported into the world of lewd moans. Thanks.
I spilled my drink xD
Bearer, Seek, Seek, Lest you literally comment something about watching hentai on every video lul
just getahose this isn't a joke...
Hey arenot you the guy in the comment section who said you are building the ultimate hentai watching machine? So what about your progress? I need to know For Academic Purposes.
Yes the audio placement is phenomenal and distinct
My experience after owning the GSP 500 for 5 months:
Clamping force at the beginning was insanely strong and did hurt the first few times wearing them. After a few hours of wearing them it adaped and now is alright. Still pressures too much on top of my head tho. (Already fully extended) I might buy an additional headpad to make it more comfortable on top.
Sound is amazing, it completely destroys my older turtle beach headset.
Microphone is okay, I have heard better and worse. For me personally, I liked my older turtle beach microphone more.
Overall its quite good, but the sound is the defining feature I would say.
Lol any think is better then Tuttle Beach lol
Hey man, I hope you're doing well. I saw your comment and I'm heavily considering buying this headset but I'm worried about the earcup stitching. I've seen a lot of negative feedback for the GSP600 that the stitching gives way after a while. Have your earcups kept its quality? I know it's the GSP500 and has different earcups, this is why I'm looking into this headset instead of the GSP600.
@@ontiablo Well don't look at the earcups (you can always buy something else) but more at your preferences.
500s are open backs and 600s are closed backs. Basically open backs have wider soundstage and if you're listening at high volumes the sound is not being slammed into your ears and can escape through the openings - that also means that everyone can hear what you're listening to :)
Closed backs are basically oposite of that. If you like a lot of bass, closed backs are your choice.
Adressing your actual question, the stiching is completely fine on my GSP500s after a year of use.
Also these headphones are somewhat a step into audiophile world and as such, they highly benefit from some better DAC/AMP like Schiit Fulla 3 (that's the one i am using, there is also other options).
Sure they can be used with your onboard audio card, but they may or may not sound the best.
The microphone itself also benefits from that, so if you will go into DAC/AMP make sure there is input for mic too. I tried them with my mobo soundcard, and the sound of microphone was bad thanks to that. I also equalized the mic a bit so it have a bit more bass - the stock sound is flat.
@@BloPsy__ hey thanks for the response but I went to hifiguides forums and got insanely good help. I'm getting DT990s with a dac later this year. My motherboard is good enough to power the 250 ohm version just fine. I appreciate the detailed response though. Have a great week.
@@ontiablo Great choice! Beyerdynamic is amazing brand.
Sound quality will be much better than with these, which are more gaming-ish headphones (but amazing for people like me that can't stand big microphones in front of them :D)
I have the GSP 600, and personally like the design. They're super comfortable. It's not like I go outside in them. I have regular headphones for that.
Do you have a large head or?
hey just wanted to say thanks - because of this review I bought the GSP 500 a go and absolutely LOVE them :)
thank you so much!
Great pair! Enjoy 😉
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks oh man they sound sooo good - bass is lovely n clear without being overwhelming and swear to you I have heard sounds now that I didn't know were there! love the channel too man - really good, accurate and funny reviews.
@@gaspodewb still using them ? gimme ur opinion if u
@@alimahmoud5964 hiya :) very happy to say a big YES to that! I sincerely have tried some others but these continue to delight and recently I bought (from CeX) a Creative Sound Blaster Z SBX Sound Card and the sound quality went up about 50%.
I am retired so can game, TH-cam and play music all day long and I can wear these in complete comfort all day long. These being open means the sound feels bigger with the added advantage of being cooler to wear for long periods due to heat from my ears being able to escape :)
I love having the sound controls on the headset rather than on a dangling wire.
the sound dial on right side is quite resistant to movement so I don't accidently turn it when they are hung up each night.
the mic lift up mute is a godscend and I can honestly say that it is something I will always need in a headset now.
in the past I hated my ears being encased but the foam pads on the GSP 500 are very generous and my big ears do not have anything rubbing on them giving discomfort.
another thing I love is the detachable wire into the headset - normally if your wire goes then that is the end to the equipment but with these that particular part can just be replaced - additionally it seems to be common across several of Senny's others headsets so easily swappable.
if I were to critique anything about them it would only be to say the top padding on the headband for me would be better if there were a bit more. I solved that small problem with an old fluffy sock :D chopped the end off and popped over the can onto the headband then doubled it over for extra padding. means I can pop it off for a wash whilst replacing it with another :D
so to sum up - well over a year and a half and these are still amazing - I am thinking of buying the Senny Game One as a back up - CeX normally put those out for £70 and I am very curious to see how they compare.
thank you for your questiona and I hope my reply helps you :)
@@gaspodewb Oh my God, man, I do not know how to thank you for all this information and the detailed explanation of everything. You are a great person and your explanation is very excellent. The issue was that I was a bit worried about buying the GSP 500 because some reviews were negative compared to the launch price of 230 dollar
But when I found it locally here in my country at a price of only 70 dollars, I reconsidered again because this category is 60 to 100 dollars, there are many headphones directed at gaming more, but the general sound quality will be unnatural and amplified
Would have been nice to have seen them reviewed in conjunction with the GSX1000 amp/card, since it was made to make sound on the GSP's etc much better. The difference between the GSP 600 and 500 on the GSX 1000 would have been good to know.
Cheers guys, great channel.
Got this for Xmas.
Sound clarity is great and first time with an open back headset and it's my preferred type now
that intro was funny lmao
Awesome review. Literally everything i could have asked for. You did amazing. A couple early reviews kind of steered me away from picking the GSP 500 and pushed me towards the 600. But after watching this. Definitely going with the 500. Appreciate the video tremendously!
Sofa King Wavy Did you get the 500’s in the end? If you did, how are they going 5 months on? I’m struggling to decide what to get in all honesty.
@@BlueCheese8924 I went for the GSP 500. Had a Hyper X Cloud II before this one. I would rate it 4.5/5 as its comfortable, Sound is very clean in all games that I play "FPS games". Also the microphone sound is clear as you can hear in the video. Only downside to it for me is that it is huge.
Awesome intro!! 👌👍
Agreed 👍
I found a fix to the head band:
Open headband to the biggest size, start bending outwards cm by cm all the way of the head band, until you’ve loosen the band, make sure you firmly hold both sides of the area you’re bending, extreme force is tested and approved (it will not brake) repeat and repeat until you like, do not over stress the hard plastic sides, position the two pressure sliders in the close together position to reduce even more the pressure under ear, It worked for me, the default clamping force was way to tight. The area between the sennheiser/GSP500 and the hard plastic sides now look straight, reposition headband to your size and wallah! the comfort is incredible now, let me know
I love my Sennheiser PC 363D set. You get the open back design, the better mic of the game zero, and a much more sensible aesthetic. It's a damn shame they've been discontinued, because that mute switch is a point of failure that gives them a limited life. The 373D's are very similar, but to get a proper audio cable you have to buy it separately for $20 as it only comes with a USB cable. On the plus side, the cable is replaceable, but I suspect that mute switch will be just as much a problem as on the 363D.
i still rock the PC 363D tooo
Very impressive video as always!
ECPU i
I just bought 2 weeks ago the GSP 550 Sennheiser and honestly even though the mic and sound is good it just hurts my head and gives me headhaches. I've tried every adjustable position possible but nothing changes. I use my headset a lot and after I'd say 1-2 hours I already feel it quiet strongly pressing the top of my head. Before I had the Logitech Artemis G933, mic was ok-meh sound was good and it was more confortable but I had to return it 2 times in 1 and a half year which is insane to me and this is why I wanted to change for a "better" headset. I've never done anything special with it but I had the same issues with different headset, the "7.1" kept lagging or the mic would make me sound like a robot. It was confortable though which is important and no cable but for a better headset a cable wouldn't bother me. Now though as I said yes the built quality of the GSP 550 Sennheiser is better, the sound is a bit better, microphone is really good for a headset but it's not confortable at all for me. + I just returned it because I received my cable with scratches on the golden (jack) part. That would cause my headset to cut the sound sometimes or makes my microphone lag ( Megatron style ).
I bought the GSP 600s based on your earlier review and am happy with them; I got them for $199 with the discount they gave me since they were backorder.
This review is very accurate; base your choice on open or closed. I will say the 600s loosen up after a couple of weeks of use. If you have a large head, the pressure is at the top of headband,though it is nicely padded. Oh, the volume knob is the same; it does not move without effort.
I mean, couldn't you get a better sounding one along with either a v moda or a antlion or even a chinese headworn mic for less than this?
Thank you very much. I almost was about to only buy the GSP 600 then after this video I bought both to hear the difference. You are so correct the 'open back' platform is absolutely key. I purchased the Dolby Atmos platform and while watching the Overwatch Sombra trailer I literally thought the police were banging on my front door. It felt like the sound was coming from 20 feet away. An absolute must for ALL true gamers. I'd spend $ on these b4 almost any other hardware for the advantage
One interesting thing I noticed on the 600s for games was that sounds (a shower for example) behind you somehow sounded louder than sounds in front of you. It was strange... I didn’t notice that with the 500s. The 500s also sounded more natural when you turned around in a circle. For the 600s, the shower sounds would get sharply louder as you were turning around. For the 500s, the shower sounds would get louder but not as sharply/abruptly. I guess this meant that the 500s have more balance. Both were great headsets but I stuck with the 500s.
Easily my favourite tech youtuber
Thanks 🙏
HardwareCanucks I’m a Sennheiser fanboy at heart, is the GSP600 and the GSX 1000 combo worth the price?
Nice- I learnt a lot about headsets from this review
5:48 Mic test.
Thank you sm
Hello brother, it helped me a lot in purchasing this headset. by the way, did you record your audio with this GSP 500 mic?
Thank you bro
Bought them before Christmas. Don't think about how they look - them being wide in looks doesn't do shit bad... they are a) awesome sounding b) great mic c) AWESOME LOOKS anyway! They are GREAT!
I pre-ordered mine here in Canada.
I got them primarily for the adjustable contact pressure. And the open back nature.
But if it's still too tight, I'll return them in a heartbeat.
Great review. Im thinking about upgrading from my first generation G4ME Ones all the way from 2014! The included cable finally died so I figured I'd just bite the bullet and get a totally new headset. Glad Sennie is still kicking ass. Cheers!
The BEST review! Thanks a lot, bro!
Youve never actually done something with specific hardware (joysticks, steering wheels etc)... any chance you could pick something for a double joystick set up? (Space sim)
used the massdrow x hifiman he350 for years. It sounds great, feels great. I can comfortably lay in my bed with them and rest my head on the driver. It's an open-back design. The only complaint is that my mic frequently picks up the audio, just a heads up for people looking to buy an open-back headset. I'd say it's worth the trade-off, and it might be less severe for other models.
Also not recommended if your ears are not very flat. On a side-note, the drivers aren't that far from your ears and it can hurt if they touch your ears for hours on end (it sometimes happens to me, but not frequently).
AMAZING review!
Great review! Glad I bought the GSP500 instead of the game one. I was looking for open back with bass. Thanks for letting me know the game one doesn’t have bass
Thank you for telling me what those sliders do. My girlfriend did not know what those sliders did on the top.
I've been rocking the Sennheiser PC37Xs for around 6 months now and I love the open back design as well as the comfort. I also have a pair of GSP 300s for LAN events and whenever the ambient noise is too much
very good & clear video, nice review
Dimitri, I've already seen your review about 100 times. At this moment I have a big doubt, buy a GSP 500 or a Byerdynamic DT 990 PRO + Blue Yeti. I would be almost at the same price. At the moment I have a Astro A50 Wireless but I can never feel a balanced sound, they are very noisy! My doubt is, with which would be better served to play games like CS, Fortnite, Batllefield etc. Please help me: D
JohnnyKun its pretty clear on my first read for anyone to choose the latter that is beyer yeti combo... And now that gsp is not even the best gaming hp
Bought the DT990 pro, with a Blaster x G6. And I regret and returned it lol for gaming is way better to catch the footstep compare to my Artis 7, but other than that, its trash for PC use.
I currently have Game ones and Gsx1000 do to your recommendation. I’ve had the game ones for almost 3 years now. The mic is starting to break at the first red band. Should I get this as a replacement or just get another set of game ones?
I have the 600's the clamping force is strong at first but quickly breaks in, they're insanely comfortable.
Fair warning to people thinking of getting one, the GSP 500 I just received today (February 18th 2019) has as much clamping force as the GSP 600 shown in this video. Just carefully holding it from the band, the cushions will touch each other and even compress a little depending on positioning.
The audio sounds great, but that was a bit of a disappointment right out of the box and I'm hoping the clamping force will be reduced at least a little after using it for a while.
Dammit. I might look like an alien, but this is gonna be my next headset.
nice review mate, just ordered my gsp 500 based o nthis opinions.
ok it just arrived. its amazing man, wow! can hear so much more in overwatch compared with my old razer kraken 7.1s.
Sennheiser 558, vmoda mic, and 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter. Best headset I have ever owned.
If we're talking gaming only. PUBG, CS:go, Overwatch ... FPS mostly, how do they compare to the Asus ROG centurion ? .-. I don't want to buy them just to compare like I had to do with my Astro and Audio technica x')
Hey Dmitri!
Do you still prefer your Game Ones, or the new GSP 500 for gaming?
I've had my G4me Zero for quite some time, and I just picked up the new GSP 600, but i feel the clamping force on the GSP 600 is quite strong, but the sound is more punchy on the GSP 600. I'm using both headsets with Sennheiser GSX 1000.
cool review when will we have beyerdynamic MMX 300 2nd generation review ?
Perfect timing i was just looking at these
Same
i like the details on your reviews
Great video. Thank you. I have some minor hearing loss in my right ear. I currently use a PS4 gold and they are loud enough. Will these be loud enough for me? Or should I get Astro A40 with the mixer?
Sick my friend im upgrading my setup atm and your videos are a great help
It's STAR LORD, reviewing a headset!!!
Yeah Star Lord with a weird and funny accent.
I am happy with my Beardynamics studio headphones for gaming, no need for a gaming headset.
I had DT990 Pro and now I have DT1990... As good as they are... for competitive games... Both DT ones are good, but my god the pinpoint accuracy of Game one is quite something else. With DT990 or 1990 you know where people are roughly, but Game one is so exact, it's surprising. Game one was the reason I got the DT1990. I got so confused when I had 990 and game one side by side. :D
But you will benefit off the 7.1 features on gaming headsets surely
I have the Game One. I will never get rid of it whats so ever. Ever since i got it, my mates have said that the mic is absolutely amazing; I used to own a Kingston HyperX Cloud Revolver. Dude stick with the Game One honestly. I bought them because of your review convinced and oh boy are my ears pleased :D
Very tempted to try these with not having an open back, I have the game zeros though which I do love.
Is there anyway to prevent the sound you hear when the cable is brushing against something?
Just don't move too much. It's only noticable when you listen to it. In everyday use it's not a thing you'll ever think about.
-D.
I like so much GSP 600 headcups design, but I preffer GSP 500 for open sound and preasure. Great review, and funny intro.
I use a dedicated microphone and pair of headphones. Mic is a cheap fifine mic on a cheap boom. Works amazing. Far better than any built in mic I’ve used. And the headphones I went with the Sennheiser hd 380 pros. Not sure how they compare to something like these but at $150 (got them for $90 on Amazon), I’m not sure they can be beat anytime soon.
Good to see new aspect ratio that is good for both 16>:9 and 16:9
I have a few Sennheiser gaming headsets, they are all pretty good but I have started only using wireless so when I get up to get coffee or something I don't rip the cord out.
Another great video, have to say the mic on these are great, deffinatly the best iv heard. As for the sound I haven't used stereo headsets for many years, I just find surround sound headsets give me far more of an edge. Weather it simulated or true. Iv used both and for me the surround sound is essential for that spacial awareness, specially in fps games.
I have never seen you two interact! Cool!!
Sennheiser GSP 500 or Game One?
I am currently using GSP 350 and planning to buy a new one..
There are some good headsets under $100 but when you go higher than that, I personally don't see a reason not to buy good headphones and a V-Moda Boompro or ModMic. You really get to pick a sound signature you like if you go that route.
Galvahnize HyperX Cloud 1, 2 or the newest one. The first one doesn't have virtual surround sound, but that is just a mediocre equalizer anyway. If you want open back, get the Philips SHP9500 with a V-Moda Boompro microphone.
Galvahnize get the Sennheiser game one headset and the Astro mixamp tr(white one works on xbox)
What about the GAME ZERO headset? It's on sale for $169 at the moment. Honestly, I've already returned two headsets (HyperX and Logitech. Logitech is the worst!), so I just want to give sennheire a shot. Unless you know a better closed back headset/headphones with a 3.5mm jcable.
I could be wrong but it looks like the frame was designed with VR/MR headsets in mind so you can easily fit them over your preferred HMD. Even if that's not the case, you may want to start reviewing other headsets with that in mind and show how they fit with an MR HMD since most of them come with no headphones whatsoever and they're gaining popularity.
IMO - If you are looking for true comfort - look for suspension headband headsets since from what I've tried, they never seem to get the cushioning. The SteelSeries Arctis Series proved that you can add a suspension headset while making it look nice and it's super comfortable and there is almost no soreness that comes from wearing them on the top of my head and I even have found headsets far under the SteelSeries Arctis series price point with a suspension headband, and what do ya know, they're super comfortable.
thanks for uploading this.. i ordered a pair of closed back hp's yesterday -.-
is the gsp 500 the best headset to be used with the sennheiser GSX 1000 or the game one? Looking to try an open back headset after using the closed back game zeros for a bit which become uncomfortable on my large head and particularly my ears after a while.. Thanks for your feedback
Hearing what is happening in your house can be more important than you might think.
I have been swatted last year. In that night I was playing R6 Siege with a good friend of mine. Suddenly he asked me what is happening in my house he could hear people yelling "Polizei" (I'm from Germany) I first didn't believe him, because I couldn't hear anything with my GSP350, but suppenly somebody grapped my shoulder and turned me around quite forcefully and I could see three police officers standing in my room with two of them pointing their guns at me. An open back headset could have made the whole story a bitt less stressy, but I have yet to find a open headset that sounds as good as my GSP350 and which also doesn't cost too much.
Awesome you put up a video about the 500! I've been trying to gather info on them for weeks, very annoying that they're not yet available. I was initially looking at the 600, but I need open design so I can hear the door bell, or my toddler crying. I'm going to pick these up as soon as they hit the market.
The title of your GSP 600 review is not very accurate after your 500 review.
Eberheisser Dmitry 500
Eh?
If I have the Game One is it worth the upgrade to the gsp 500? Do they sound different enough to warrant the switch?
donate me 48 dollars if u have nothing to do with ur money
@@N8X4TE haha I will consider it. So I take it you suggest keeping the game ones?
This or arctis 7 2019 edition or game one? And should i consider wireless?
Love new ration Dimitri looks awesome on iPhone X
I need to buy a sound card for gaming and watching movies. Which you recommend: - GSX 1200 Pro - STRIX RAID DLX - Sound BlasterX AE-5 - Sound BlasterX G5 and which of these headphones do you recommend? - Sennheiser HD 598 (I now have them with a D2x asus xonar) - Sennheier HD 599 - Sennheiser HD600 - Sennheiser GSP 500 What do you think would be the best combination? Sorry about my English.
Please review the Audeze Mobius when it's available.
Yup, that is what I am really interested in because if the Mobius can deliver on all the promises then it will be the gaming headset to get. We shall see!
These intros kill me! So good! MORE!
hi Dimitrie, big fan here, I really love the aesthetic of the razer blackshark headset but I can't find any satisfying reviews online, can you please do a review of the most beautiful /elegant, most sleek designed headsets, for the people who want to look good while gaming, thank for the great advice.
Hey guys! New sub here and already a big fan. Quick question though, which gaming headset would you say is the BEST among them all. Price not being an issue. If you have a video on this already i may have missed it
Those adjustments on the top of the headband on the GSP600 are for CLAMPING FORCE! So if you found them too tight then adjust them! Please Watch Sennheiser's video of either the GSP 500 or GSP 600 on their product page to see more about them. This is a huge oversight as you say many times over that you didn't like the GSP600, simply because you have no idea how to adjust them. @HardwareCanucks
Thanks a lot for this very in Detail review, very interesting Headsets and to my mind quite good looking - Sennheiser always performs very well as far as Production Qualität is concerned. By the way: how much satisfied are you with your new Cooler Master Case H500P Mesh?
i'm never going to buy a closed back anymore, my 1-2 year old hd598 still looks great and performs great.
best purchase i have ever made
Hopefully this will mean the G4ME ones will be going cheaper.
BaronVonHaggis amen
They already are cheaper for what they originally went for. I've seen them go for as low as 115€
Carlos Alberto Deleón Im gettimg them for 130€ thats a fkn bargain
I recommend the Philips shp9500 headphones with vmoda boompro mic for under 100 dollar
I also use this!
No mic amp needed?
Simon when he fell on his face No. Just a simple inline mic. Check out the review from Z Reviews. PS love neebs gaming
i have this setup but i kinda want to compare the audio between these two.
I have the same combo but I HIGHLY do not recommend it for people with small heads. The headphones will stretch out and get very loose. I use the Sennheiser Game One's now, sacrificing audio quality for the fit. Other than the fit, can't go wrong.
I'm glad the Game Zeros were on sale for 180 Aud the other day, Because these newer Sennheiser headset remind of the Corsair voids and they just look awkward..
Sennheiser really needs to make a wireless headset
Sennheiser hdr175 and 185 is the answer
what he said. they did make a wireless series like 2 years ago. its just not a 'gamer' line of headsets
what is a gamer headset? something that carry a gaming logo or color? or have a microphone? who use mic this days. pretty no one.
everybody uses mics? under what rock do u live?
Nick Purdy But they like higher sound quality that is sacrificed when having no wires
Thanks for the review. Will you consider reviewing wireless headphones like Sennheiser HDR185, 175 or similar? Wireless is a must for me specially for listening to music.
That Game 1 mic is fantastic. I wish I had that
I just brought some gap 600s after seeing your video on them, now I'm second guessing .... Damn
I bought the GSP 500 with intent to replace an aging pair of Game ONE's. The GSP 500's are very uncomfortable on my head compared to the Game ONE's. I have a larger head, so your experience may vary. There is a terrible pressure spot at the peak of the headband, which happens to be where they have the least amount of padding. The earpads are considerably smaller than those on the Game ONE, and the amount of adjustment in the headband is not enough to obtain a comfortable fit around the ears.
How is the sound quality compared to the Game Ones?
Do you recommend replacing my Game One with those?

Sennhiser are my go to for open back headphones now. Love the hd 598sr's, using them daily at the moment. I just wish they would style there gaming headphones less like toys and more like there hi-fi range.
this weekend i get the gsp600 and the gsx1000, atm i paly with the 373d, rly excited to try the new setup for PUBG!
So how is it with gsx 1000?
should i buy these ? or cloud revolver S, or Astro a50 gen 2? based on sound and mic quality, anyone got experience with them?
Please add the AntLion ModMic to your microphone tests! That's the benchmark every headset should compete with.
Game one is the best headset I have ever owned. I love the open back, sleek design and the comfort is amazing.
It's like you have to solve a rubik's cube every time you want to put on these headphones.
if you actually feel the need to adjust the size literally every time you put them on instead of just leaving it at that 'just right' adjustment then i guess yeah, your right.
I have the 600’s and I can solve a rubix cube in under 40 seconds. Maybe thats why I love them 😂
The Cave Arcade noob, my best time is 18.78 seconds, and it's Rubik's not Rubix
Man those Game Ones sound by far much better than the rest O.o
Could you do some reviews for the Beyerdynamics Headphones?
Great review Dimitry. I just purchased these like 20 minutes ago from the Sennheiser Canada site. And as many were saying, they are on backorder until early June. Under the purchase button, there is a small caption "This item has been delayed and will be shipping early June." That's ok, I can wait, because I ALSO pulled the trigger on the GSX1000 Amp, AND a Mayflower ARC as well. Ya ya ya I know, but I decided to treat myself to some nice realistic gaming sound this summer. And first week of August, my Mass Senns HD6xx's will arrive YAAAAAY :)) . This summer is gonna be a BANNER year for gaming on my end.
I have always had closed back headphones but after countless YT vids I've seen, I just KNOW i will love em. I am a big fan of large soundstage types of audio, I just don't know why I never bought an open set of cans until now. No better time like the present right?
As for the visual aspect of these cans?... I say to the "haters gonna hate", give em some time and let what cans do best [gaming audio], and I'm sure they will eventually win you over. Frankly I'm kind of annoyed at some of the comments people have made on the appearance. Get over it ok?!?! I've seen worse, as I'm sure you have if you think of it. And HEY !?!?! At least they're not pink with "hello kitty" ears, little black button nose with whiskers to apply, and a cute lil tail coming out the back of these [saw some pathetic idiot wearing these on an IG feed. Lemme ask you haters..."Would you like to wear a set of hello kitty gaming headphones to a lan party" !?!?! . . yyyyya that's what I thought.
So swallow your bravado, and give these cans some game time. Overtime, I'm sure you'll see the light. Besides, if Dimitri says they're good. . . and Brian from BadSeed Tech RAVES about them ?....then that's good enough for me. Let the games begin boyz n girlz :D
Pretty sure I'll be getting the GSP 600 in the not so distant future. I already have a great headset for my PC (Denon AH-D7000) but I need something with a mic and better noise isolation. And I need it to also work on my Xbox.
