You will forget all about your old headphones once you put them on. I absolutely Love these headphones. I was a little worried switching over from my 7.1 USB surround sound headphones but once I got these I fell in love immediately. To start they came in a nice sleek Box that looked well made and clean haha even though its just cardboard it looked nice I dont want to throw it away. In the Box were the Headphones in a carrying case that looked really nice and was sturdy. It will protect the headphones very well when traveling ect. Once I actually opened the case and took the headphones out I could immediately see the quality of materials and the well thought design. I got the Gaming Zero black and red edition. I gotta say they look really nice not too big not too small. They are very comfortable to wear for hours at a time. The Mic sounds great as well. Excellent quality for headphone mic. One of the big reasons I got them because of their durability. My friend had these headphones and he was showing me how strong they were. He grabbed the earmuffs and twisted them in opposite directions very far and it didn't even looked strained. One of my older pairs of headphones broke at the spot where the headband connects with the Ear Pads and the ones I bought after that felt very fragile I was careful not to grab the headphones by the ear pads and pull them apart just in case they broke at the same spot. But with these there is literally no worry of that at all. Honestly to break these it seems like you would have to intentionally try to break them. But last and most importantly.. The sounds... These things are amazing! The sound truly is very crisp and clear. But I do want to add DONT BUY THESE HEADPHONES WITHOUT AN AMP. Now of course you can and they will still be far better than your old headphones but they will not even come close to the potential they have. Since they are only 150$ now I said what the heck and bought the amp as well which was around 150$ JDS Labs Objective2. Lets just say my buddy that had these headphones for over a year without an amp got super jealous lol. But really these things can seriously crank out some loud Bass. They hit very low Bass and sound really good. I actually get the feeling of my ears tickling a little bit when wearing these haha plus they dont sound like they are about to blow. They remind you of being in a car with subs!.So with the amp and headphone combo that I got for the same price as these headphone used to be it is 100% worth it not even a penny wasted. I am considering buying a backup pair just in case the price bumps up or something like that happens. This is one of those buys that you will actually be happy with the price you paid and feel like it was a great deal. If you need headphones just buy these I guarantee you wont be disappointed. Also Check out the JDS Labs Objective2 it works beautifully with these headphones. Just be prepared to be blown away.. literally. ————- Update————— 12/2023 It’s been about 5 years and I’m still rocking this same set of headphones. Sound quality is still great, and the mic works like when it was new. After thousands of times flipping mic up it’s never broke on me yet. The only thing I needed to replace were the ear muffs because of the leather getting worn out from A LOT of use. If these ever break I’m going to but this same pair. Especially now that’s it’s 100$ cheaper! I have brought these headphones all over the country and they are still going strong!

Before anything, I'd like to point out this is my first real headset that costed me more than $100, which I bought along with my gaming rig. The sound is flat and neutral, which is perfect in my case because I'm the type to take time on fine-tuning my equalizer according to my taste. I usually have mine set at a "W" pattern, with little modifications here and there depending on what I feel I should hear. I enjoyed my gaming sessions very much because of the way this headset fit around my ear; it is snuggly. From time to time, I do feel the need to introduce new air in for the fact that it is a closed back type headphones. The fact didn't matter to me because I'm the type to take quick breaks here and there anyway. Not a deal breaker. The microphone on this excellent; probably the best I've heard from my friends by the way they describe it as clean and not hearing my window AC running in the background. The mic's arm is flexible, so I can adjust it to how close/far I want it from my mouth. I found it bad to bring it too close to your nose though. During my quick breaks, I found the mute function when the mic boom is brought up very convenient. Being able to quickly mute yourself from a chat group is amazing. As for the volume control located on the left ear cup, I'll get back on that later on. If I'm not playing games, I'm listening to music. I listen mainly to acoustic, rock, metal, and alternative. As I said earlier, these headphones are flat/neutral. I don't consider myself an audiophile, but I do appreciate good music. Along with my gaming rig, I also purchased a sound card, a Sound Blaster Z. I wanted this particular sound card because it can drive headset's impedance rating. The sound card comes along with a software that allows me to modify with their 10 band EQ. One of the challenges I've experienced with these headphones was the head and ear cushions eventually fell apart. It fell apart after using it at least 4-5 days every week for 3 years. The 'leather' were slowly chipping away. It may have been my fault for always sweating on them, so someone else's mileage may vary. I replaced my cushions, by ordering here. Like new again. :) When I do use the headset, I always set my volume rocker control to max. If I need to change volume, I use the music players' control. Reason being is that, I found out that if you max the players' control and control the volume with the headset's rocker, when your music peaks to a higher volume than usual, the sound will dip a bit. I believe when that happens, the headset doesn't get enough power from the rig. That is why I max the volume on the headset -- I allow the headset to pull as much power from the sound card so the sound doesn't dip when the music peaks. This is something I realized from playing around with the headset when I thought it was defective. To simplify, maxing the headset's volume and control the volume from your music player will allow the headset to pull as much power as it needs to prevent the sound from dipping during peak. You need a sound card for this. I would suggest the same sound card I have purchased because the software that comes along with it has great EQ and microphone sound isolation/cancellation. Just something to note about the mic sound isolation -- turning the settings on will delay your voice delivery a bit due to post-processing. But as long as you don't plan on monitoring your own voice, it shouldn't be an issue. Overall, as long as you have the proper sound card to drive this headset, you will love the experience. I've had this for years now and I still love the way it pulls me in to the experience.

So I decided to update my review for the Sennheiser Game Zero which has officially become one of my favorite headsets (along with the Sennheiser GSP 300). In my original review I gave it a 3 star rating claiming that the audio was flat and that the price tag was too steep. Well, things have changed and hopefully this updated review can guide my fellow gamers. So in my original review I had major grievances with both the price and with the sound quality of the Game Zeros and after trying about 10 other gaming headsets I came to the conclusion that there was an issue with my sound card which turned out to be an out of date audio driver- oops! With the price, in my original review I said that the Game Zero would be a great headset it was $50 less- well they are now over $50 less here on Amazon which is awesome!! With all of this in mind, I have since decided to update my review, something that I have been meaning to do for quite a lot time. So let's get something out of the way: Sennheiser hands down makes the best gaming headsets in the world and the Game Zero even to this day is one of the company's best offerings. It's great for either listening to music or gaming and the base is subtle unlike other gaming headsets (most gaming headsets have an over exaggerated base that gets muddy at higher levels). The Game Zero's microphone technology just can't be beat and in this regard Sennheiser is ahead of every gaming headset manufacturer on the planet (though SteelSeries has definitely been making some strides in this department, especially with their latest offerings). The microphone is so good that you can easily use it for streaming YouTube or Twitch videos. The comfort level of this headset is superb, even more so then the already comfortable Game One headset and it is so light that I often forget that it is on my head!. Also, since these are a closed acoustic design they not only cancel out outside noise, but they also deter audio leaking which is the Achilles heel of the Game Ones. You can literally wear these for hours, but the only real con is that your ears may get a bit warm due to the ear cup material, but this is by no means a deal breaker. This headset sports a lengthy braided cord that is completely detachable, but the cord is prone to tangling so only use the length that you need. In addition, it comes with a great carrying case and unlike it's Game One brother, the Game Zeros completely fold up for ultimate portability. For a closed back design it offers a pretty good sound stage and most of the time it sounds pretty good by itself, however, I feel like it really shines when connected to an amp or sound card. Pros +Price has come down a lot since first introduced +Overall great audio +Lightweight +Superb comfort +Exceptional microphone and Sennheiser's best +Headset can be folded +Comes with a nice carrying case +Cable can be detached Cons -Cable is long and is prone to tangling -Needs to be connected to an amp to unlock the headset's true potential -Sound stage not as good as the Game Ones -Ears may get warm after prolonged use because of the ear cup materials Great audio, an unmatched microphone, great portability, and a huge price cut (thanks GSP 300 and GSP 600) make the Sennheiser Game Zeros one of the best gaming headsets ever made, even more so than the Game Ones which is why it receives my highest recommendation.

It's been bw 2-3 weeks since I've received my sennheiser game zero gaming headsets. I will start by saying these by far are the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. I like that the cord is made out of special material that prevents it from knotting or getting all tangeled up (like most long cords do). Another feature I enjoy is how light these headsets feel while Im wearing them. This are pretty light in weight, which make them Very very comfortable. I would say personally, I readjust them on my head a a few times every 15-30mins, which to me thats normal routine (I like to let me ears breath). On the negative: I didnt enoy coughing up another $15+ on the cord adapter. If you dont buy this $15 adapter you wont be able to use it with your PS4. I am speculating ( I am obviously not a spokesman for sennheiser) that the executives for the company came into an agreement all together and figured that "if our customers can afford the $220+ price tag, then they wont mind spending another $15 of their hard earned $$👊🏽". Another point is that you will need an amp mixer to bring more bass and louder sound. I called the company and spoke with their technicle representative and asked them which amp works best with their headsets for use on a ps4 comsole. According to the sennheiser rep the only amp mixer that works for the "consoles" is the astro mix amp pro. These go for $130. To be honest I was expecting more volume control, bass, and UMMFF to these headsets. I am not saying these are bad sets. What I'm trying to say is that these $220+ gaming headphones are advertised for PC + Gaming Consoles. After using these on mY PC & PS4. hands down PC brings out the real sound engeneering. This is because of the sound card and amp mixer. I ended up buying the astro amp mixer combo headsets as well. I love using them when I am playing BF4. I feel the astro amp mixer works great with their headsets vs sennheiser game zero. Dont get me wrong they make the game zeros sound even louder and better, its just more bass that I enjoy. Ive used these game zero to listen to music and WOW. Absolutley amazing. I prefer them over my Beats By Dre. headhones. For Sennheiser PLEASE PLEEEAASSE in your future headsets make these headsets with the cabability of being able to remove the mic!! I would love to wear these when I travel and even I go to gym. No one wants to feel like a pilot with their headphones on! Overall I gave it a 4/5 for comfortability, crisp sound (remember for consoles you need the astro $130 amp mixer) and build. If you dont the additional $150 in additional accesories then these are worth the buy. They will make a great addition to your headset collection.

Beast headphones. PROS: Comfort - They feel great on my head, they're light and don't move around at all. The padding on the ear is memory foam and is awesome. They're fully adjustable, the mic stays out of your line of sight, um, where your head touches the top is padded. Seriously these feel like a second skin that can play music. Build - Everything feels like it's made with heavy duty material but somehow they're lighter than a lot of $30 headphones. Go figure. The metal hinge is a pretty good sign in my eyes as well since that's usually the first thing to go. The cord is also tethered (shoelace) so in case you run 'em over from time to time I don't think it'll hurt them. Mic - Clicks when you move the mic to mute or unmute it which makes it much easier to use. It's very clear actually, much more so than I thought it would be. This might be due to the fact that it has superb noise cancellation but, if you wanted to use this for Skype that would be extremely feasible. Sound - They highs are fantastic on these, they're going to sound as clear as anything you own and the closed face on them will block out a lot of sound. They're not for music, mind you. But as far as immersion for gaming goes, these work perfectly. Convenience - They fold up completely to look sort of like a boomerang or awkward frisbee which has saved a lot of desk space and awkward grabbing. Since I have a few monitors it's nice I can set these in front of my monitor without them blocking. Nice choice by Sennheiser here. They also come with a case for travelling with them, not that I ever leave the house but if you do the case is pretty solid and should protect them inside of a backpack. Aesthetics - Have you ever wanted to look like an airline pilot? Well now you can! I think the white looks crisp as hell and was much cheaper than the black, but whether you get or black I'd say they look better than a lot of headphones out there. They scream class. Cons: Ohms - Way too many. You need a ton of juice to power these and almost sent me away from them. If you're looking for heavy bass in this price range, you may want to go somewhere else.

Preface... I'm a HUGE HyperX headset fan (the sound is phenomenal and they are a standard in gaming) and for the price their great. I used them for several years, until one day I walked away with them on my head and ripped the cable out of the headset. After taking them apart and soldering the sound was never quite right again. -Time for a new headset. And after looking at a lot of youtube reviews the G4ME 1 by Sennheiser was overwhelmingly set as the gold standard for gaming. A little more expensive but Sennheiser's drivers (speakers) have a solid reputation. PRO's: SOUND QUALITY, SOUND RESOLUTION and DEFINITION (and yes - BASS!). I could hear nuance I didn't hear deep in the mid's I was missing before, these aren't just gaming headphone's. Put some 24 bit 96KHz high definition classical pieces on them and the staging blew my best BOSE headphones out of the water. (I'm a BOSE fanboy but credit due where it's due). I'm powering these headphones with a SOUND BLASTER G6 and did compare it against an ASUS STRIX SOAR sound card, the G6 was just as powerful but had warmer overtones and better rolloff so I stuck with it. Bottom line the sound quality is tight with deep staging resolution and no overwhelming bass (unless you want it). Very well balanced. While gaming bullets and footsteps were crystal clear, loud but sharp while staying defined. Mechanically the drivers are mounted with an aluminum swivel (no plastic) to the headband which is also I believe aluminum wrapped in plastic with a faux leather band to rest on your head. Their not heavy but not weightless. I'd only wish they pressed against my head a little harder but everyone's a little different. CONS: The only cons are really basic. First: don't use these with a built in sound card. Your wasting your money. Your built in sound cards (unless its high end) won't drive these 150 Ohm headphones to their potential. Your not going to get the deep bass out of them they need. Get a sound card period. Their cheap anyway and will do wonders. The G4ME 1's are HIGH IMPEDENCE headphones - period (better sound quality but needs more wattage). Second con is the volume dial on the Right headphone. The first few days I had them I couldn't figoure out why my sound was so low and thought my Sound Blaster G6 was not powerful enough, nope. I bumped the dial putting it on not realizing this, but the dial is kinda nice so its not a real negative. Conclusion: I would buy these again in a heartbeat! Hand's down the best gaming headphones I've ever used.

Let me start off by saying that I MAY have gotten a defective headset. I'm currently working with Sennheiser technical service to see if there is an issue with my headset, but in case there is nothing wrong, then this is what this review is for. So, here's a little background. I used to have a Logitech G930 gaming headset for a little over year until one of the ear cups broke and was just hanging by a few wires. At the time when I bought the G930, I had a small budget, but now that my budget had significantly increased, I was ready to get something a little more audiophile-like. Before I go further, I just want to note that these do sound great, but for the money I spent, I expected a little better. Also, I was aware of the 150ohm impedance these pack. I have an Asus Xonar DX sound card, but it was not meant to push these headphones. So, I bought O2 amp with a built-in ODAC, and I also bought a Sabrent USB external sound adapter so that I can still use the microphone. After all, I bought these as a gaming headset. Now, when you dish out nearly $500 on sound (headset, amp w/ odac, sound adapter), you would expect to be completely blown away; or at least, you would hope so. Unfortunately, this really just wasn't the case. Considering that I was able to spend only $90 on the G930, which has some really great sound, I was highly disappointed in these. Firstly, they lack a proper bass. Now, I'm not talking about the kind of overly powered bass you get from Beats headphones, but even my G930 produced some decent bass to keep the audio immersion. I only get bass from these if I turn them up really loud, which is annoying to say the least. I don't want to constantly listen to everything at high volume just to get some bass. Plus, I've heard other headphones in this price range, like from Audio Technica, that have better sound immersion and way better bass (I know AT headphones aren't gaming headsets, but still...) Secondly, they seem to lack any proper dynamic audio. Meaning, a lot of things, from music to movies, tend to sound flat. I thought the amp would fix this, but it didn't make that much of a difference. Again, in order for things to not sound flat, you really have to turn up the volume pretty high. Other than those two things, these still sound good, but just not what I would expect for the price I paid for them. Regardless, they are really flexible and come with a nice case. Also, they're incredible comfortable and the microphone is incredibly clear. Because of these positives, I still give this headset 3 stars. It's really a shame otherwise, and hopefully I only just have a defective product.

Technical facts: -this type of headphones need to be burned in, basically play an ipod on average volume for about a total of80-100 hours (this is for getting the drivers lose, in a good way) -works great with Turtle Beach DSS and astro mixamp 5.8 (i tested both) -amplifier is a must, the high impedance on this cans demands it Now lets get personal. I have plenty of headphones including the Sennheiser HD 595, and the G4ME Zero are my absolute favorite. The super soft materials used in the ear cup are sweet for comfort over nice gaming marathons. The closed design does bring some sweaty ears but that is just part of the deal, nothing out of normal. The sound using the turtle beach dss is not only great in quality but in position. Playing metro redux on ps4 i can pinpoint exactly where the enemy is coming from. The asking price is high, specially because one needs an amp additional to the headphones and that is another added cost. Obviously this is not an entry level headphne, this is for the ones that just see the value of full immersion into the gaming experience. I think they are expensive but they deliver the goods. In my case i was lucky to get them for $104 so for me it was cheap and amazing. At the retail price i would hesitate on cost alone, but they are great. Microphone is functional and easy to use the mute function, just flip it up. High price, high quality, just be sure what you are looking for and select carefully. The astros A50 are awesome, inferior sound quality but amazing nontheless

Cette marque ne m'a jamais déçue jusque là, mais là c'est le plouf !!! l'ergonomie et le confort au top mais c'est tout. qualité musicale= 0 (je n'ai pas de mots), de plus le micro joue des castagnettes. je l'ai acheté pour l'utiliser avec VirtualDJ, cela fonctionne mais en terme de qualité audio quelle déception !

Fantastic sound quality as you would expect from Sennheiser. Very comfortable and also blocks alot of external noise.

My hubby cant hear me at all gaming with these on

些細な音や足音の聞こえる範囲が広がって、KDに繋がる良い商品だと思います。 しかしながら、音は聞こえるけど音質は良くないって感じ...低音もただ鳴ってる感 あと、皆様が言う通りマイクが話にならない 諭吉一人くらいまで下がらなければ再購入はありえません

It doesnt have the correct connections that I needed so i will return this...
