I had these for roughly 2 months. They were absolutely great for games but I found that I didn't like the close back as much as I thought I would. I switched over to DT 990 Premium 250 Ohm + ModMic 4.0 and couldn't be happier.
@@cholomiranda1418 they are great tho not for 200 I'd pay 150 for them nowadays. Mine are starting to bite the dust finally so I'm in the market right too.
I ended up getting these in white. AMAZING. Best set Ive owned and Ive gone through a few. VERY comfortable too. I forget Im wearing them. The sound is clear and strong too. As for the foam squished at top than bottom they actually come like that new. They have 3 layers with the last layer being thicker at the bottom to help seal it against your jaw/cheek.
I am kind of unsure if I should get it, I am currently using a Plantronics Gamecom 780 which is about $80 but the usb connector has been failing me recently. Do you think its going to be worthy getting the G4ME Zero + the Sound Blaster Z?
Mateus Coninck For me it was worth it. My old sound card was dropping sound and causing my pc to reboot. And my old headset was pure junk..Logitech G930. So these were a great update to that hardware and worth it to me.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD380 and the headphone is still running strong in terms of audio quality. But that memory foam disintegrated 3 years after purchase. The first thing that happened was I started noticing little black flakes. Plus sweat from using it probably helped speed up the degenerative process further. Still, in terms of functionality, my old HD380 outlasted all my other headphones.

Just ordered these headphones from Amazon yesterday. Waiting for them to arrive. Thank you for this review. I work from home and I'm tired of cheapies that that fall apart or don't work after just a few months.
It may be "just a headphone review" but this is one of my favorite videos that you've done. Great mix of informative and funny, with just a sprinkling of weird. Perfection achieved.
Cheers, I purchased these after watching this video and they are great. 100% satisfied, great sound, excellent build quality with a top notch mic. Thank you.
Great video. I'd love to see you do a series of flagship mid/high end headphone reviews. It really helps me understand audio quality better when you compare to other cans, rather than just saying "the bass is great" (not that you did that this video). Anyways great content from your channel lately, props.
***** I guess they maintained close to the same mic quality for their headsets! Me and my friend now both have open back senn headsets, when we voice chat it sounds like he is in the same room as me. Keep up the awesome videos jay!
+jayztwocents you mentioned that these are 150 ohm drivers. on Sennheisers site they're stated as being 50 ohms. there's a lot of reviews where this mistake has been made. just thought I'd point that out... great job! you hit some points others didn't hit on...
+Seth Rockwell agreed! I got a pair about 3 weeks ago off of eBay and mine are 150 ohms. What's crazy is even after seeing that there were 50 ohm ones, I still ended up with 150 ohm ones. No matter, they are fantastic and sound awesome. I'm waiting on my Fiio and Mixamp Pro to be delivered Thursday and Friday. Then I'll really see what these things can do! But right now, they sound decent from the PS4's controller, and even better on my Acer. But I got em for console gaming and not for pc gaming...
I have the G4ME ONE Sennheiser headset and I can tell you it's the best headset/headphones I have ever used. The openback design is a massive advantage over the zero having a better soundstage made the difference. Although these block out most noise, I still think the one has no problems with hearing sound from an external source. Anyways I can recommend the G4ME ONE and you are definitely getting your money's worth out of them.
the cushions were meant to have different height (said by sennheiser). every other reviews have the same feature. it is not because of you. great review btw
Hey Jay, Chris here uk based, you recentlry asked in a video what your viewers would like from future videos and for me honestly more of this personal one on one interaction with products that benfeit us as gamers, I understand this is a wide range of products to go at keyboards mice headphones etc but these things are the bread and butter to what we have built all in ade of you and your uploads and they really dont have to be GAMING perifs I use a DAC and sennheiser HD 595 headphonrs with my set up but I digress, please do more imformative test videos on perifs. hope you get to read this all love man
Trying to decide if I want to get another pair of these under the EPOS brand or another headset. My old from 2026 still sounds great but starting to show its use after all this time lol. Can’t find a white version anymore either.
Alright, so I have a quick question regarding this headset g4me-zero They are technically only a "stereo headset" but I have purchased a Sennheiser PC323D headset in the past which uses a 3D G4ME 1 Dolby 7.1 USB adapter to produce the 7.1 surround sound. This adapter is the same one that their highest end model (PC 363D headset) also uses. Same drivers, same adapter, everything. Basically both of the analog 3.5mm connectors from the headset connect into the adapter, which then connects to your computer through USB in order to produce the 7.1 sound. So my question is: If I were to buy the Sennheiser G4ME ZERO headset (stereo), and connected it into the 3D G4ME 1 Dolby 7.1 USB Adapter, would I get stellar 7.1 surround sound (as good as the PC363D, for example) or would the sound be off because the headset is not designed for 7.1? I'm not sure if the 7.1 designated Sennheiser headsets have mini speakers inside of the earcups in order to replicate the positional audio better or anything, so I was hoping someone else could answer this for me. Please help me!!!!! Thanks!
I'd love to see you try the G4ME ONE if possible. I have the G4ME ZERO and I'm actually sending them back to pick up the ONE. I really feel like the hinges on these are a huge weak point, and the ONE doesn't fold down like these do. Also, I've always been more of an open headphone kind of guy.
Since this video is 2 years old, is the Sennheiser G4me Zero still the best choice for Xbox One FPS gaming (for locating footsteps in Halo) and streaming on Twitch? Or is there a better choice now? What about a CyberX or a pure audio headphone + Antlion Modmic? Is it possible to use the Sennheiser G4me Zero or a new suggestion with the Astro A40 mixamp (from '09)? If so, will the sound be at its fullest with that mixamp concerning the 150 Ohm resistance? If not, should I get an amp like the Mayflower and can that be used with the Astro A40 mixamp? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I've done hours of research but still have some questions.
Wayward Son Depends, if you just plug it in straight into your controller, these are just ok, if you are going to use an amp, these are the best still. And no need for a modmic, the mic is great on this
During the years I've owned a lot of headsets and still in 2020 these have been my absolute favorites not just because of the sound but also comfort. Absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the hinge broke after several years and after accidently sat down on them by accident numerous of times. Now just ordered GSP 600 so hope they don't disapoiny ^_^ (don't think they will)
the 250€ price tag though... There are loads of cheaper (gaming) headsets out there (like my logitech g430) I think that unless you're indeed into music production or content creation such expensive headsets are defeating the "best bang for your buck" - regime I try to keep. Unless I'm really deaf and that would be a shame since I'm a musician... This is my humble opinion, please don't hate me
So these cost around twice as much as PC350 Special edition, and they basically have the same specs, both are closed back and everyone who has used the PC350 says the sound is great. Do they really compare to the Game Zero? i can't see it being worth it buying something more expensive just to have the same specs, but hey if Game Zero has 50 ohm now, maybe they could be?
i'm not sure if this was mentioned, but the cups are actually cut thinner on top than bottom. i know because i bought replacement cups recently. it can also be seen in cup replacement videos.
Hello Jay, I've owned this headset for a long time now and unfortunately the seal on them has gotten quite loose, and thus the sound quality has gotten much worse. I have to literally push on them to hear what they really should sound like. Do you have any tips on how to make the seal tighter again? Maybe not for this specific model, but for any headphones in general? Thank you for your time!
Hello, Today i've just received my Sennheiser G4ME ZERO. I've heard a lot of good things about it, and struggled a lot to choose between this one and the Hyper X Cloud Revolver S, but I chose this one. So, I connect it to my pc, and i'm like : What the hell is this **** ?? Now, i'm looking to buy a new sound card, or a motherboard, because I think the problem comes from this. So my first question is, should I change the motherboard or get a new soundcard ? My motherboard is a Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B75M-D3H, and I've never bought any soundcard. My second question is : If you tell me that changing my mobo is better, will it affect something about the CPU or anything ? ( and if you could please give me a good mobo, I don't understand what he said in the video ) And my last question is : If you think that taking a soundcard is better, can you give me a good model of soundcard for playing and listening music ( because the bass on the game zero is pretty low, I would like a bit more ) ? Also, people can hear the audio from my pc, even if I mute the microphone ( directly on the headset ), and this happens with both my old Logitech G230 and my new Sennheiser.. I don't know what's the problem but I was thinking about the sound card / mobo again ^^ By the way, I would need a pretty fast answer if possible, so if someone have the time to answer me it would be kind. Thanks, iNoxiS PS : Sorry if my english sucks, i'm not english.
I think you want louder highs and mids for gaming just for footsteps and other things like that. I get what you mean for the music but just thought I would put that out there
Thanks for your video- which would you most recommend for gaming- these, the game One or another headset (either one combined with the Sennheiser GSX 1000 amp in 7.1 surround)? thanks for anyone's feedback
I'm not sure if you'd reply since it's been a long time since you uploaded your video, but I just got my Game Zero and without turning sound suppression on it has that loud background noise, may I ask if you turned sound suppression on or off in the video?
So I'm having some issues. I just recently bought the mayflower o2/ODAC and I heard you say you hooked up the game zeroes to them, so I assume you got the mic working as well. I have the SteelSeries Siberia Elites and unfortunately I can't get the mic to work. Idk what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just overlooking something. Can someone help me?
You know Sennheiser makes a 32 Ohm version of this headset, the G4me 360. I already have the PC350 and will wait for price drop before updating since there is no change in sound. I can say they are better sounding than mt Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80.

Guys where Jay says in this video about the memory foam not holding its shape look at them when you get them. They COME shaped like that. Its not a foam problem. Its to fit your head better. Bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top...just the way it should be. Jay doesn't seem to really look at stuff he reviews I dont think.
Do i need an amp if i have this motherboard : gigabyte z97x gaming g1 wifi black edition. And if i don't does it effect my audio quality by running it through my Razer blackwidow Chroma?
I have a MSI Z97A Gaming 6 motherboard, will it give me the full experience? Or should i get an amplifier, before i get a pair of theese? Thanks in advance. :)
I've seen many reviews of this headset being used on the Xbox One through the chat adapter but no one mentions how loud the headphones are. Would the chat adapter on the xbox one be able to drive 150 Ohm headphones?
If I use the Sennheiser G4me Zero with the Astro A40 mixamp (from '09), will the sound be at its fullest with that mixamp concerning the 150 Ohm resistance? If not, should I get an amp like the Mayflower and can that be used with the Astro A40 mixamp? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm not experienced with amps.
Hey Jay, i got the same pair of headphones and my wire is starting to pull and tie itself up making its own knots. Is there any way to help prevent this or a new cable that would work better?
I own the msi Z87-GD65 this mobo has an audio boost feature. The website says; AUDIO BOOST Reward your ears with true quality. Get ready for ear-drum shattering sound, with MSI Audio Boost! With Audio Boost we're delivering the highest audio quality so you can enjoy crystal clear sound and music in games. Because the complete audio circuitry is isolated from other features, you'll enjoy less interference and more stability. The built-in headphone amplifier allows you to use studio-grade headgear and get the most amazing sound quality out of your gaming PC. • Studio level Integrated 600Ω Headphone amplifier • Golden audio jacks for pure audio signals • EMI shielded audio codec • High quality audio capacitors Does this mean I don't have to buy an extra amp to use these headphones like they're ment to? Greatings from Holland!
Hey I need help I have xonar dgx with hd 558 headphones. Enabled 7.1 in windows. Downloaded uni drivers. Than ticked dolby and 7.1. Set to 8 channels and 32-64 ohms. Yet still I get great sound but no postional audio. So frustrated bc hd558 are soppose to be good for that. What can I do. Thank you
***** yea, you probably right, but imo Logitech G930 has better mic and noise cancellation, it is my favorite headset so far. yeah, it is looks kinda wierd on my head, but sound is too good, to care about, how they are looks :D
Hello, just wondering if any of you would be able to recommend a pair of thicker earpads for these headphones, the stock ones are not thick enough and my ears touch the drivers.
I did, they arrive friday, I was hesitant because of the ''need'' for an amp or something of the sort for max performance but after going further into reviews most people are more than happy with the pre amp / sound card sound.
Lolaroflwaffle You won't have to worry about needing an amp or DAC as the newer models today only have a 50 ohm Impedance so you won't have to worry about sound quality! ;)
Love you too son enjoy your headset! I happen to have the black ones and they've lasted me for almost a year and a half now! Great quality from Sennheiser. :)
Seton Magic I've had them for 2 years and they are still holding up well. Love how they feel, best head phones I've owned and I've owned both Astros and Turtle Beaches.
+TheBNDAgaming do you have a pair? is it now removable with a plug that can be used for mobile and another cable for the pc? also is it now 50 ohms or is it still 150 ohms? (amp needed?)
most of the reviews are made in 2014. The headset was updated in 2015 with detachable cables, so in the time of filming 95% of the reviews, the set was with sealed cable
ATTENTION ATTENTION Don't listen to this review because Sennheiser has updated this headset !! The Game Zero now has a lower 50ohm power impedance. The cord is now also removable from the headset and it sells for $190 on Amazon as it's full price
I feel so violated Jay... So violated that you would copy me and rip off my bit like this? How could you :D #GreatVideoAsAlways
yeah Jay how could you :-D
He digresses, so its cool.
You guys should start Techtalk off tonight wearing ALL of your headphones lol
Sue him Sue his ass!
Don't get mad, you're just upset his name is Jay. I can now call you Jaylous. *Facepalm
I had these for roughly 2 months. They were absolutely great for games but I found that I didn't like the close back as much as I thought I would. I switched over to DT 990 Premium 250 Ohm + ModMic 4.0 and couldn't be happier.
bought these around the time of the review and the headphones still sound perfect
After all these years????
@@baker8002 yep still to this day the ear muffs are a bit roughed up other than tha5 still sound great
@@covalite damn nice to know they are so good ,thx for the reply btw
@@covalite do you think these cans are still good for USD200 today? Kinda deciding on these vs the H3/h6 epos cans.
@@cholomiranda1418 they are great tho not for 200 I'd pay 150 for them nowadays. Mine are starting to bite the dust finally so I'm in the market right too.

As for the foam squished at top than bottom they actually come like that new. They have 3 layers with the last layer being thicker at the bottom to help seal it against your jaw/cheek.
What are you using to drive them? I am thinking of getting a Sound Blaster Recon3D
A Sound Blaster Z
I am kind of unsure if I should get it, I am currently using a Plantronics Gamecom 780 which is about $80 but the usb connector has been failing me recently. Do you think its going to be worthy getting the G4ME Zero + the Sound Blaster Z?

For me it was worth it. My old sound card was dropping sound and causing my pc to reboot. And my old headset was pure junk..Logitech G930. So these were a great update to that hardware and worth it to me.

Great review. I kinda wanna try these now.
The shape of the cups is purposeful! They come out of the box with a thinner top. It helps with the seal!

Good of you to mention the impedance. Checked my mobo specs and it looks like i'm good to buy these!
You said the impedance is 150 ohms, but the manufacturer website says 50 ohms.
+YWZMatt So you get more out of it from using it with your phone etc now? dont need an amp at all to get most out of it?
+Detrimentation Why would normal 3.5mm jack headphones require a firmware update. It isn't like they are usb.
50 ohm new ones (GAME ZERO), 150 ohm old ones (G4ME ZERO).
incredible, fucking ancient (in nowadays terms) microphone headset sounds better than the actual nowadays ones...
The mic quality is amazing to be honest. Wow. I might get this since my HyperX cloud core is wearing away.
@JayzTwoCents Did they make improvements, cause you said 150 ohm, but on newegg they are listed at 50 ohm....
Wow, I noticed no difference from your camera mic, besides breath pops.
The mic on my camera is actually a Sennheiser e835
***** I guess they maintained close to the same mic quality for their headsets! Me and my friend now both have open back senn headsets, when we voice chat it sounds like he is in the same room as me. Keep up the awesome videos jay!
Awesome review! You've explained everything one would need to know before buying them. Thanks.
Who is watching this in 2017?
I'm listening to this video with my Game One headset and I don't even know why
Worth it?
yes, they are good without an amp/good integrated sound card but exceptional with it
I am waiting for a new version... Sennheiser should realease something soon I hope xD

Jay, try a Fiio Eo6 amp, for traveling.. It's tiny, cheap, and can get up to 300 ohms cans going strong! It's excellent!
I just wanted to say that the memory foam pad are designed thiner at the top. It's deliberate. Watch the Sennheiser promo vid.
Hi Jay. Put the wire over your shoulder and then you can look left/right. Works for me, at least with an extension cable :)
The "gripe" is standard - Its like that from the factory to make sure that they are tight to your head - I Really enjoy tour channel

I think you want louder highs and mids for gaming just for footsteps and other things like that. I get what you mean for the music but just thought I would put that out there
Did the impedance actually change to this point? On the german website it says 50 ohm. Was just curious because I'm thinking about buying them
Still loving mine!!
Would these be fine with a USB soundcard? From a previous headset in my case.
Thanks for your video- which would you most recommend for gaming- these, the game One or another headset (either one combined with the Sennheiser GSX 1000 amp in 7.1 surround)? thanks for anyone's feedback
Specs wise these look like rebadged PC 350 SE's ?. The poping you got with the mic test i've had also and fixed it with a small foam mic sock.
I'm not sure if you'd reply since it's been a long time since you uploaded your video, but I just got my Game Zero and without turning sound suppression on it has that loud background noise, may I ask if you turned sound suppression on or off in the video?
The ear pads *have* that shape. For a good reason.
Thanks for the video ! I quite enjoyed it !
Aside from the G4ME ZER0, What Were Those Other Headphones that are on your head?
+ZJohnLamberte steelseies 9H and siberia elite prism are on my my head
I prefer "fiddling" with the "knob" on my Astro A40's.
So I'm having some issues. I just recently bought the mayflower o2/ODAC and I heard you say you hooked up the game zeroes to them, so I assume you got the mic working as well. I have the SteelSeries Siberia Elites and unfortunately I can't get the mic to work. Idk what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just overlooking something. Can someone help me?
Nice Doc Brown moment at the end :)
how good are these for footsteps at a good range, i currently have a40s and theyre rubbish, had two pairs and had problems with both.
Nice review man, great! What do you think about the audio technica ATH-ADG1 compared to these?
Great job!
That's the shape of the ear pads dummy.do some research first.
Usernamebreh YESSS Someone who also realized this!
You know Sennheiser makes a 32 Ohm version of this headset, the G4me 360. I already have the PC350 and will wait for price drop before updating since there is no change in sound. I can say they are better sounding than mt Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80.
What kind of DAC would you recommend for these?
They should've added a built in pop filter
Yeah, I noticed that myself.
Or Jay could just move it a bit, i do think it should be just below your mouth not right in front of it. (see Barnacules video)

This video is gold!
How can you use a headphone amp, and also keep the microphone functionality? I have these headphones and would love to get that capability.
0:47 jay assimilated with the BORG
I'm not getting a seal around my ear. There's actually a pretty large gap toward the bottom which kills all the bass
Hi jayz,do you think these headphones will be a good combo with mobo gigabyte z97x gaming 5 with creative sb x fi mb3 sound card ?
How is the surround on them with Razer Surround? Because like you said it works good, but is it like getting a 7.1 headset with it? like my g430s?
wow that intro is just... wow...
That intro was just stolen from barnacules but they are friends so it's allowed consider it a loaner.
What did you say that you purchased to boost the sound to better the sou d quality??
These sound marginally better than my $40 off brand headphones
Guys where Jay says in this video about the memory foam not holding its shape look at them when you get them. They COME shaped like that. Its not a foam problem. Its to fit your head better. Bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top...just the way it should be. Jay doesn't seem to really look at stuff he reviews I dont think.
Do i need an amp if i have this motherboard : gigabyte z97x gaming g1 wifi black edition. And if i don't does it effect my audio quality by running it through my Razer blackwidow Chroma?
Interesting, and what do you recommend for gaming + Bass + 7.1 surround under $100 ?
HyperX Cloud II ofc.
^Razer is shit.
hifis
I have a MSI Z97A Gaming 6 motherboard, will it give me the full experience? Or should i get an amplifier, before i get a pair of theese? Thanks in advance. :)
so far most reviews say you don't need it. I say get it try it without it and see how they sound for you than buy one if you feel you need it
I've seen many reviews of this headset being used on the Xbox One through the chat adapter but no one mentions how loud the headphones are. Would the chat adapter on the xbox one be able to drive 150 Ohm headphones?
nope. it'll still work, but not at it's fullest.
Ethan Reres would these be recommended to use on the Xbox one?
they would work, but they just wouldnt have the full experience. If you want it, you could always get a little amp/dac like something from FiiO
If I use the Sennheiser G4me Zero with the Astro A40 mixamp (from '09), will the sound be at its fullest with that mixamp concerning the 150 Ohm resistance? If not, should I get an amp like the Mayflower and can that be used with the Astro A40 mixamp? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm not experienced with amps.
Any soundcard or something other then aplifier that costs more then headset that can work as well? :)
Hey Jay, i got the same pair of headphones and my wire is starting to pull and tie itself up making its own knots. Is there any way to help prevent this or a new cable that would work better?

Greatings from Holland!
Yep
Hey I need help I have xonar dgx with hd 558 headphones. Enabled 7.1 in windows. Downloaded uni drivers. Than ticked dolby and 7.1. Set to 8 channels and 32-64 ohms. Yet still I get great sound but no postional audio. So frustrated bc hd558 are soppose to be good for that. What can I do. Thank you
So... A pc soundcard is basically essential for these headphones?
+WorkingOnMax unless you have enthusiast motherboard that has good audio.
Any issues with using glasses with these? are they comfortable?
is the microphone replaceable should it break/stop working after time?
it seems like frequency of this mic in the headset is curved down around 12kHz, so it feels like Jay started lisping :D
haha, they are actually higher than that, but I think the noise cancellation of the fan on me caused some of the "s" sounds to go wacky.
***** yea, you probably right, but imo Logitech G930 has better mic and noise cancellation, it is my favorite headset so far. yeah, it is looks kinda wierd on my head, but sound is too good, to care about, how they are looks :D
Hello, just wondering if any of you would be able to recommend a pair of thicker earpads for these headphones, the stock ones are not thick enough and my ears touch the drivers.
so, what would be the difference between the open and closed versions?
Anybody else here today because of the amazon prime deal?
Lolaroflwaffle did you buy them yet?
I did, they arrive friday, I was hesitant because of the ''need'' for an amp or something of the sort for max performance but after going further into reviews most people are more than happy with the pre amp / sound card sound.
Lolaroflwaffle You won't have to worry about needing an amp or DAC as the newer models today only have a 50 ohm Impedance so you won't have to worry about sound quality! ;)
Daddy loves you!
Love you too son enjoy your headset! I happen to have the black ones and they've lasted me for almost a year and a half now! Great quality from Sennheiser. :)
Hey Jayz, I have a question. My Motherboard is MSI H97, it has Audio Boost 2. Is this enough for G4me Zero ? *****
It will be fine it does up to 600 ohms!
11:08 Canon T2i? that's cool, The video quality looks pretty good.
How do you make your mic sound so good?
Does anyone know the difference between Classic and Special edition? I am not able to find anything about that.
Have they change impedance on these ? The specs today says 50 ohm?
Anyone been using this for about 2+ years?
Is the leather tearing or not?
how about you Mr. +JayzTwoCents?
Seton Magic I've had them for 2 years and they are still holding up well. Love how they feel, best head phones I've owned and I've owned both Astros and Turtle Beaches.
Thanks!! looks like I've had it locked for getting one
Bought brand new... the upper part is thinner by design.
I have been looking like mad. How can I find the Ohms my board can support? I don't want to have to buy a Amp if I can help it.
I wear glasses so over ear headphones feels so much more comfortable
One thing i've noticed that almost all youtubers reviewing this headset forget is that they dont mention the headsets cable is detachable
+TheBNDAgaming do you have a pair? is it now removable with a plug that can be used for mobile and another cable for the pc? also is it now 50 ohms or is it still 150 ohms? (amp needed?)
i do have the headset and it has a detachable cable so you can connect it to iphone but not sure about the ohms
Are u using an amp with yours?
most of the reviews are made in 2014. The headset was updated in 2015 with detachable cables, so in the time of filming 95% of the reviews, the set was with sealed cable
Божидар Димитров yeah i noticed that
Did they change the ohm impedance cuz it says 50 on the website instead of 150
Since this is gaming headset, it would've have been nice to see how good it is while gaming.
ATTENTION ATTENTION
Don't listen to this review because Sennheiser has updated this headset !! The Game Zero now has a lower 50ohm power impedance. The cord is now also removable from the headset and it sells for $190 on Amazon as it's full price
Are they good or not ? For gaming of course (ps4)
So? it's still exactly the same headset exept that
