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!

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.

@ontiablo 3 года назад

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.

@BloPsy__ 3 года назад

@@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.

@ontiablo 3 года назад

@@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.

@gaspodewb 2 года назад

@@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, RU-vid 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 :)

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.

@Nocha39 5 лет назад

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 ).

@TheG102 4 года назад

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

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.

@SAVEmeFROMtheANTS 6 лет назад

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

@7xshadowxerox7 5 лет назад

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.

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).

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.

According to the BadSeed Tech channel the GSP 500 has more clamping force than the GSP 600 and becomes uncomfortable after a couple of hours. Now I'm confused? Also in the mic test it sounded infinitely clearer than this review.

@nerbviews 6 лет назад

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.

@WinterEFG 5 лет назад

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.

Hopefully this will mean the G4ME ones will be going cheaper.

They already are cheaper for what they originally went for. I've seen them go for as low as 115€

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.

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.

Please review the Audeze Mobius when it's available.

@Xsetsu 6 лет назад

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!

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

@GuyverGamingTV 6 лет назад

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.

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.

@DodgyMoustache 5 лет назад

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.

@jackteare7688 5 лет назад

@briandammpetersen22 6 лет назад

I am just like you in terms of not liking that total isolation from my headphones. How is the seal compared to the Game One? Similar or more tight?

@seennd8243 6 лет назад

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.

@ElFletchy 6 лет назад

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

@sblantipodi 6 лет назад

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.

@TheMuricanMerc 6 лет назад

Looking for tips/suggestions/more info overall! I just got a pair of HD598SRs with a modmic 5. I just started using it but I think that I need to get a DAC/Amp to get the most of it. I'm not sure how to go about buying one tho. All I know so far is the GSX1000/1200 is pretty much all I want. However, the limitation of 16-bit instead of 24-bit, plus the lack of extra power from a wall socket hurts the product's capability. I'm also more a fan of being able to adjust my EQ settings so I don't think a driver-less Amp is really what I would be looking for.

@patrickbonner9866 6 лет назад

Do you think the design is made to accommodate VR headsets? These look perfect for the PSVR headset's thick headband.

@DZ-og7pm 6 лет назад

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?

@erlandjohansen7195 5 лет назад

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.

HD6XX or AKG K7XX for mixed gaming and music listening? I play a mix of games - FPS, MMO, survival and builder. Music is classical, rock, and metal mostly.

@kurtwism89 6 лет назад

So would you buy these headphones for everyday gaming? I can never tell if you're recommending a product or not anymore D....Any recommendations for a good pair of wireless headphones with decent battery-life and acceptable mic which cost

@ohhyy7800 6 лет назад

I got the Platronics 500e and i don’t know if i should upgrade. And if i would to upgrade my headphones should i get the G4me zero, G4me one or Gsp 500. Tell me what you think!

@justinspirational 4 года назад

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
