    Sennheiser GAME ONE Gaming Headset - Black

    • Great sound and the mic is crystal clear.
    • From what I’m using, I have more than enough quality sound coming thru and don’t feel that I need an amp to run these headphones
    • Good sound and clear mic
    • Great sound and mic quality
    • Comfortable, good sound, great ergonomics
    • The open or vented ear cups keep my ears nice and cool for long gaming sessions while still providing incredible sound
    • Wonderful, full, and warm sound
    • Better drivers and better normal sound.
    • First off let me say the sound on these is beautiful
    • I’ve ever owned and the sound is amazing
    • 3DM1) if you want better volume and sound.
    • I typically use closed headphones, but I've always used cheaper ones, which don't isolate the sound as well as higher quality headphones.
    • CoD IW - openness nearly as good as GSP 500, but more powerful sound
    • Only thing I wished they were wireless, but you can't be wireless and also have perfect sound
    • I do not know the wattage on the headphones, but it is probably not much because even a 25 db gain through my DMA-50 amp running in stereo was too much for these guys; I was hearing weird static sounds and it was much too loud even at the lowest volume setting
    • The mic is crisp and clear, and seems to isolate outside sound relatively well
    • They have a large cavity inside and the sound is very good
    • The sound is actually noticeably better than my Audio Technica ATH-M50x or V-MODA Crossfade LP, though not quite on the level of my Oppo PM-3.They are also incredibly comfortable for long term wear
    • The sound and mic are also outstanding.
    • These are the nicest headphones I have ever used, the sound and clarity of these is stunning
    • They are light, sound great, mic is clear and easy to use... really the whole deal.
    • Quality good, sound is good.
    • Great sound and very comfortable.
    • great headphones, open back allows for great breathability, light weight, great natural sound!
    • Audio quality wise the headset sounds wonderful given the right amount of power using some type of amplification
    • Not noise-cancelling, but do a good job of isolating sound anyhow.
    • the One offers around 30 degrees of movement in the arms that hold the earcups.-The hinges about the earcups are only plastic this time but seem suitably strong, with the force from several aggressive twists being absorbed by the flexible headband-Watching movies is amazing, and music sounds warm and clarity is solid
    • I could wear them all day, they have incredible sound and clarity with just the right amount of bass
    • Nice, clear sound and great mic
    • The sound isn't quite as good as I would have liked but they definitely get the job done.
    • Buy it if you are looking for something for great sound, sound positioning,quality mic!
    • I dont have any super fancy sound card, so I cant vouch for the super nice sound quality
    • You need a separate mini amp (that's suggested) in order to boost and enhance the sound
    • The sound was really excellent without any burn-in whatsoever.
    • But, it's a great sounding mic compared to most headset mics
    • I have always loved sennheiser and this ones do not disappoint both in quality of the sound and how they are built, however, I keep hearing this annoying sound saying "Hanzo is not a support, please switch"
    • Feels nice and light,sometimes forgetting it was there, then it just started making staticy noises once in a while, like a spark static sound not constant static
    • Anything lower than 500hz is awful sounding
    • Note: I have used these both with and without an ASTRO mixamp, the mixamp does improve the sound slightly, while giving extra control over tweaking the sound volume / game vs party chat
    • Great sound, but a little tight, less comfortable than the Sennheiser 650
    • Good Sound
    • But I would recommend running these with a small amp to get the best sound possible
    • Using this with the Astro Mixamp the virtual surround sound is amazing, it really feels like sound is all around you
    • They sound great, enhance gameplay sound, and improves your multiplayer performance when listening to feint footsteps helps you win the match in your favorite shooter game.
    • But that hissing sound is really annoying
    • I loved the sound and quality of the mic
    • I am by no means an audiophile but the sound on this headset is great
    • Beautiful sound, nice bass, and the noise cancelling works really well
    • Beautiful sound, nice bass, and the noise cancelling works really well
    • The sound is clear and the microphone works well enough
    • The sound is clear and the microphone works well enough
    • The sound is great, but it is uncomfortable to wear.
    • Amazing sound
    • Very comfortable, great mic, amazing sound, and convenient unpluggable cord for switching from Xbox to PC or traveling.
    • I owned lasted 3 years before they stopped working all together, they had decent sound but not nearly as good as these, and the mic was slightly worse but those were probably my 2nd best
    • From a music standpoint, they get the job done, though they are not as nice sounding as my Bose QC 35s
    • Great open end sound
    • I also greatly prefer the more expansive sound, I prefer it anyway over simulated surround sound
    • I work from home frequently and have to participate in conference calls and IT support calls with clients, so I wanted something I could plug into my iPhone (you do need an adapter cable) that would allow me to hear clearly as well as provide better isolation and sound on the microphone side as well (it can get noisy at my house)
    • However, the HM-1132 sold by ScanSound fits perfectly, and kills any wind sounds (e.g.
    • Extremely comfortable and great sound
    • I've ever purchased bar none super comfortable great sound
    • they all say the sound is great,
    • But out of all those headphones I've decided this one was the best sounding
    • Great solution and good sound, just plugged directly into my PS4 controller.
    • These headphones are pretty awesome good sound quality sets a really nice sound stage they are open back so when you are gaming you will be able to hear your roommates fight even if your door is
    • The sound is very crisp, since these are open-ear, soundstage and distancing is nearly perfect
    • Sound is amazing and mic is bar none the best for a headset setup..
    • Great sound , great for PC gaming.
    • The sound is clear, and the bass and mids are better than people are saying
    • Comfortable, decent sound, bad cable.
    • Finally, the mic sounds fine, but the noise canceling in the microphone is lacking, causing the open ear headphones to bleed sound into the microphone
    • Pair these with a decent sound card and it will feel like cheating
    • Had problems with static on some of the newer Logitech models, Razer is just lights and looks while lacking high quality sound/materials, Sony is great sound but dont make full headsets with mics
    • Great quality sound, great microphone, comfortable, lots of extra
    • Great sound, highly comfortable and a great boom
    • Lightweight, comfortable, amazing mic and superior sound.
    • The sound is good and the mic is good
    • This will be a non issue for PC gamers with a good sound card or external audio solution
    • , I'm no audiophile, I don't listen to music, just wanted decent sound and a microphone that didn't suck.
    • Great sound, very comfortable and versatile
    • Felt soft earphones with great sound and the swinging mic turns off automatically when in the up position automatically.
    • So let me start off by stating that the sound of these headphones is fantastic.
    • I have been through many many high end headsets from from the brand new Astro a50s to the turtle beach elites which are both $350 headsets and both have good sound quality but the a50's mic is HORRIBLE and the turtle beach elite pros mic sounded good but was like an extras $50 which ended up costing a total of $400 for it
    • I purchased for use on my PS4 along with the new MixAmp Pro TR for PS4 - Black and I have to say, the sound is amazing
    • The sound is AMAZING!!
    • Good sound.
    • I ask and am told my sound is nice and clear
    • ....comfortable, great sounding for gameplay and chat
    • but I did not find them as comfortable or as nice sounding as the AKG K702
    • Awesome sounding
    • , very sturdy-Sound is excellent-Audio for recipients is very clear and void of echoes (they do not hear you as "far away")-Open ear, can hear people ask you a question while you have them on, airflow keeps your ears cooler-Mic boom is just awesome
    • They base is deep, and other sounds are crisp (I do have a stand alone sound card).
    • The whole body sound by comparison is amazing
    • I really love the sound on these cans and hey they are sennheiser!
    • So soft!--The sound is great.
    • Then I realized the sound was a bit muddy.
    • I have had people telling me the sound is somewhat soft
    • For whatever reason, it would make ambient noises way too loud in comparison to things you'd actually want to hear, such as footsteps or even bomb defusal sounds
    • Some people have suggested pairing this headset with an amplifier or dedicated sound card, but you can get great sound out of them even with onboard sound
    • is the only way to go those 7.1 fake surround headphones are trash if you want a solid clean sound look no further and the comfort is superb buy this
    • There is also a master volume control dial on the side of the headset for easy access to sound
    • i like em good clean sound
    • Comfort, sound, and looks
    • The sound is very clean,airy and pleasant to the ears.

    • The highs are airy without sounding tinny and harsh or making your ears bleed or causing fatigue
    • The sound is good, I am not too sure why people are going crazy over these things
    • Through the Astros it sounded like it was going through a filter in a sense, or that "muddy" sound
    • The sound is clear and crisp, and when playing BF4, I can HONESTLY
    • Amazing sound qualityHear
    • Sound is phenomenal...better than any headset I've ever used before
    • Sound is great
    • - Excellent sound isolation
    • Overall I would recommend this headphones to anyone who is interested in solid sound and mic quality.
    • The sound was terrible IMHO.However, not wanting to give up on the Sennys after reading so many rave reviews about this brand of headphones, I decided to purchase two ASUS Xonar sound cards -- the DSX and the DGX
    • The sound of this headset is not the best I've heard, but it is definitely good enough to justify for the $160 pricetag
    • Sound is great for music, gaming or speech
    • Sennheiser G4ME ONE is a high-end wired headset that offers excellent sound for audiophiles-A boom mic on a flexible arm flips down from the left ear cup with no microphone controls, but flipping the mic up mutes it automatically.
    • The sound is great and so far the build quality is good as well but there is a major deal breaker for me
    • The 35s just sounds richer, fuller, though the GAME ONEs are very clear and pleasant sounding in all frequencies
    • The steelseries Serbias have a terrible mic, overwhelming bass and very mediocre sound and are super uncomfortable
    • These are great, they're plug and play, they work plugged into a phone for music, the cord is long and strong, the construction is great, the headset is EXTREMELY comfortable and all sounds are crisp and clear.

    • Fantastic sound and very comfortable for those long gaming sessions.
    • I love the surround sound for when I play Overwatch, because I can hear from which direction enemies' footsteps are from
    • Regardless of my poor review and my obvious bashing of this product, I was surprised with how clear the audio was, and how great music sounds when using this headset
    • Noises sound like they should and there is very little coloring
    • Sound is fantastic
    • This is by far the best gaming sound I've had the pleasure to experience, and I did have an opportunity to test Corsair and gear branded headsets during PAX West 2016 as well
    • The mic sounds great as long as you don't have it right next to your mouth
    • Beautiful sound stage, and excellent sound focus for identifying other players in multiplayer games
    • so I highly recommend a good sound card for these unless you buy the 363D.
    • Great sound and people tell me my voice comes in really clear over Xbox Live.
    • The sound is then dumped right into the headset around your ear as it follows the cord up
    • I think they sound nice, but occasionally I lose sound and occasionally the surround doesnt work properly
    • It amazes me that even their gaming headsets sound wonderful with music.
    • The bass was deep, the sound was low, and the clarity was not crisp or detailed as you need in gaming
    • I couldn't tell you how a $300 Sennheiser or Bose headset would be better sounding for music, although I'm positive that there are models that give you a better sound
    • - Excellent sound isolation.
    • If you're looking for a headset with great sound look no further than this one.
    • Great sound and very comfortable

    • I bought these to use as regular headphones for my computer, and as someone who appreciates good sound, I was somewhat let down
    • To get the best sound use a soundcard
    • The sounds on these is awful.
    • These are absolutely the headphones to get at a solid price, with great sound and comfort.
    • The straw that broke the camel's back on these which led me to return them is that they had a squeaking sound around the earcups which seemed to get a lot worse as time went on, and just doesn't seem appropriate for a $200 headset; it made them feel cheap
    • The sound is great, the mic is great, they are comfortable, the plush ear covers are far more comfortable than fake/leather ones (and they never peel, like the fake/leather ones do).Problem is, after nearly 2 years of use I can hear a rattle
    • Great sound and very comfortable
    • The mic is clear and the sound is very clear and full
    • I noticed the sound isn't as good if you pipe all the sound to the headset verse just for chat on the PSN and use your speakers for game sound.

    • So comfy, great sound, mic is clear (supposedly)
    • I got the closed ones for that slight better sound.
    • Good quality sound, comfortable for extended amounts of time
    • So, I proceeded to swap out the Xonar DSX for the DGX.After setting the DGXs built in amp (under HP Advance Setting) to "Pro-gaming Mode" which is made for headphones with impedance ranging from 32-64 ohms, I was greeted with markedly improved sound

    • These are the most comfortable out of all of the headsets, the lightest, and have the best sound

    • Not as comfortable as the Xbox One Stereo Headset, but the sound is better
    • Excellent sound both mic, and ears.
    • The sound, however, is great and so is the Mic for talking on conference calls and video games like Overwatch
    • So I added the new Sound Blaster AE-5 card and these now sound amazing!!So goodbye usb dac amps, usb headphones and my frustrations with crappy sound
    • The mic quality is not great, not to mention every time I scratch my head or move it the mic makes the most obnoxious plastic cup sound, Like throwing five plastic cups in a
    • Was great for 4 months then started dying, great sound and everything
    • These seem to have a great build quality and excellent sound
    • The sound is even better if you are able to connect the headset to a stereo receiver or a source that is more powerful than your gaming controller - for instance if you didn't need to communicate with other gamers or you just wanted to listen to music or a movie
    • Sound quality wise it is the best and most accurate sound I have ever heard from a headset
    • You get well received, premium, rich sound that doesn't feel artificially enhanced or distorted
    • The sound is clear and balanced like I've come to expect from Sennheiser products (this is my third set) but bit more bass-heavy than in the PC 360, so keep that in mind
    • Also I'm not an audiophile, but the stereo sounds great
    • Sound is the best out of any headset ive had
    • Bends like Beckham, great gaming sound with open air which makes positional sounds seem more accurate, solid noise canceling mic, and drivers in the headset that don't add extra sounds and lets the game be heard as it was intended
    • Without an external device, the sound almost hurt my ears at normal volume
    • I bought the Steal Series Arctis 7 and Lucid Sound LS40
    • and I have forgotten that music can sound so much nicer using "pure" headphones without the noise canceling feature: the sound is much "softer", with more natural mid-range and without the obnoxious "bose bass"
    • Great sound and the flip up to mute the mic function is aces.
    • I'm not super knowledgeable or picky when it comes to sound, but these do sound amazing, like true surround sound
    • w/ good sound might need a sound card to have it be proper
