I ran them without the built in amp feature (theres a way to disable this in software) and that made a fairly significant difference in sound. I would strongly recommend some above average sound source at least a decent dac/amp to really take advantage of these headsets. I didn't spend much time reviewing the mic, sorry but both sound very similar based on the feedback I got. I asked folks in chat and everybody heard me fine so no issues there.The fact that you can hear your voice with Game one is very nice. Mic quality was fine on both Game one and GSP 600. I think they require some “break in” period because the more I was wearing them the more comfortable they felt (although switching over to the other 2 headsets they felt much lighter and more comfortable). My ears got fairly warm after a few hours of gaming but no sweating and no pain. I had mine all the way to maximum though.
Sennheier made something very unique here because even though these headsets have the strongest amount of clamping force they actually dont hurt your head after several hours of gaming due to those adjustments on the headband. Its stiffer which means its nicer to "fine tune" the volume but at the same time if you are trying to adjust them while gaming it may not be as quick as the game one (minor gripe but wanted to mention it).ĭecent amount of comfort with adjustments to the headband and head pressure. The volume dial was abit of a hit or miss compared to the Game one. They sounded very good to me and I had no issues spotting enemies and just turning the player around in game I was able to spot where the action was coming from. I honestly expected them to have worse sound positioning than the other 2 headsets I bought but that was not the case. I enjoyed every single gun fire and explosion in Battlefield 1 while wearing these. The overall sound was a bit more crisp and richer than the Game one with a better bass (no rumbling but very clean and powerful), very immersive. Great sound stage i would say somewhere about the same as the HD598s I would say maybe not quire there but unless you are switching between these 2 headsets while gaming you will not be able to notice a difference at least not a difference that would favor the HD598.

I personally like the looks just as much as I like the looks of the other 2 headsets but Sennheiser definitely steered far and away from the minimalistic design of the previous game series headsets. Looks are a bit subjective with this one.

Braided cable (nicer than the Game One’s) is a huge plus in my book because its much softer and matches the rest of my peripherals. The earcups are oval shaped and feel very good. Some sort of thick memory foam on the top and a combination of faux leather, memory foam and some other soft materials on the earcups. The earcups dont rotate.īest build quality with thicker/higher quality plastics and more padding. Clamping force seemed a little higher but i did not experience any pain after hours of gaming. Not as comfortable as the HD598 but a very close second. Note that the sound doesn't really turn all the way off with these headsets. I also really like the sound volume because you can easily adjust the volume while gaming. Very immersive experience in Battlefield 1. A decent amount of bass makes it so that you can hear every explosion in all of its glory. I had no issues spotting enemies, hearing footsteps etc. Not as good sound stage as the HD598 but a very close second, and definitely great for multiplayer gaming with crisp clear sound and a decent amount of bass, a very neutral sound signature but I really liked it. Minimalistic looks in all black with some red accents. Braided cable is a huge plus in my book because its much softer and matches the rest of my peripherals. Very similar design on the earcups compared to the HD598. Better build quality with thicker/higher quality plastics and more padding.
