Sennheiser Game One Open Acoustic Gaming Headset - Black

Product Information

The exceptional sound quality lets you accurately pinpoint in-game sounds, giving you a competitive edge in your gaming sessions. Accurately pinpoint enemy footsteps, hone in on sound cues that give away positions, and relay that information to your team. If you are gaming in high-traffic areas with ambient background noise or in a public place where you may bother other people, a closed-back headset may be the better option. With all of that being said, it's quite obvious that the open-back headsets are meant to be used by gamers who have their own rooms and don't have anyone in their proximity while plowing through their favorite games.

However, the A50’s closed-back design may not provide the same level of comfort and airflow as the GAME ONE’s open-back design. They retain the same excellent over-ear closed-back design, but with a slightly more "classic" gamer aesthetic overall. If I had to pick my perfect headset, it would definitely be open-back, although I can certainly appreciate that not everyone has the ability to use one.I’ll be honest, the microphone of the Sennheiser GAME ONE leaves a bit to be desired and isn’t among the best gaming headsets with good mics. The influx of new gamers paired with the simultaneous rise of professional gaming and Esports has provided a huge boost to the gaming tech market as a whole. With its open-back design, you can truly get lost in the game world, experiencing a level of audio depth that few other gaming headsets can provide. The plush velvet ear pads and cushioned headband provide an exceptionally comfortable fit, allowing you to game for extended periods without any discomfort.

It covers most of the mid to low-end bass frequencies well, but there is a slight drop-off of the low-bass punch and rumble. The bass is a little lacking, which is a shame, but also and just about a forgivable compromise given the quality elsewhere. Even your mechanical keyboard will be audible and potentially annoying while playing a quieter game. Moving on to the microphone quality, the GAME ONE again scored very well and meriting another 8 out of 10 for its top-notch performance, putting it right at the top of the group in this set of tests, which are worth 20% of the overall score.Stay tuned for discounts on the biggest Sennheiser headsets and plenty more Black Friday gaming deals.

The non-removable mic is sometimes challenging to carry and fold; therefore, careful packaging is necessary.It is known for its quality and professional headphones, air controller headsets, and telephone accessories. Although the GSP 370s make it somewhat hard to truly, truly go for the more expensive 670, if you're after supreme Sennheiser quality, then this is the headset for you. Sure, there’s a slight de-emphasis—but it’s much more reasonable than the models most people experience with cheaper headsets. You'll also be able to adapt, personalize, and enhance the GSP 500s if you use the headset in combination with one of the external sound cards available - the GSX 1200 Pro, particularly, and the new EPOS | Sennheiser GSX 300 (both only compatible with PC and Mac).

If you need some peace from your kids, neighbor, or street noise: get the HyperX Cloud Alpha instead. That’s because the dongle is focused on providing low-latency audio, so there is minimal disruption between what’s happening in your game and what you’re hearing.Its microphone is good too, though this won't be great for mobile players or for the commute as the mic is non-detachable and a little wobbly on the design front. The Sennheiser Game One gaming headset is a bit expensive, but you can believe in your investment that you are choosing the right one. The open-back design and Sennheiser’s signature sound quality create an unparalleled audio experience, ensuring you can accurately pinpoint in-game sounds and react accordingly. Sennheiser is one of the premier audio brand in the world and there is no denying they have a solid line-up of audio solutions for any audiophile.
