Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Sennheiser's first wireless gaming headset called the GSP 670 has finally arrived! But its battle to be the best gaming headset of 2019 is going to be tough especially with competitors like the Steelseries Arctis 7 and HyperX Cloud Flight. As we review the GSP 670 after its release date there are some awesome features and performance but also some issues you should know about.

If the sponsor ads are that clever from now on, I won’t complain about them. Beautiful headset.
We do ads well 😎

Literally the perfect review. Deep understanding of the product and the benefits/demerits of the features, in-depth demos with a pacing that keeps you engaged, and pleasant and relevant B-roll and visuals.
Coming from not really following tech channels lately and generally only watching LTT and MKBHD, I am glad there are still people making straightforward and informational content.
This is the buyer's guide.
I see it
I love it
I look at the price
Oke thank you, next
this is a 150$ headset of a flop, change my mind
Opening music pls????
Hyper x cloud stinger is pretty good
@@MumtazHafidz is this the one you wanted its called Expression I Love You
You get what you pay for. Pay for less, your going to get less.
$350 and they can't spring for USB-C charging?
and the design looks crap. definitely not worth it.
Yes USB-C is a MUST in 2019.
Doomsday Gaming not really
same goes for steelseries arctis pro and arctis 7, both use micro-usb and it sucks, on my arctis 7 micro usb port started to move and bcoz of that charging is fucked, less than half year and its done
On Arctis Pro Wireless i never use USB thanks to the unique dual battery system.
can we sign some kind of petition for sennheiser to go back to normal looking headsets and ditch this "gamer" aesthetic? there's absolutely nothing wrong with the way the game zero/game one look. just look at hyperx, they don't mess with what works.
Yup Sennheiser used to make good designed headers but ever since this new series the GSP they are all flawed in a big way COMFORT like seriously lol
100% I know a ton of people that would be on board. Myself and a few friends got the gsp 500 when it came out thinking it would be the best thing since sliced bread all coming from game one/zero. Well, we ALL ended up returning them because the fit is so god awful with the V shape on your face just pressing and squeezing it’s so horrible. All went straight back to the ones and zeros because it just doesn’t get any better from wired pair.
My dream headset would be the HD600 aesthetic, including open back cups, and the features of this GSP 670. When I heard this headset announced I was so excited and willing to save up the $350 just to keep my audiophile sound quality but gain the ability to leave my headset on and talk to my friends when I went afk for a moment. Now I would just be walking away from my desk, losing connection, and be stuck wearing these ugly ass things just 1 room away.
Disappointed.
they have there headset line and gaming line and music line tf u talking about
I use the gsp500 with the gsp600 ear pads and they are so comfortable.
Still using the Sennheiser Game One Most valuable purchase that i've done in the last 3 Years!
Such a good headset! In my top 3 for sure ✌️
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks What is the difference betwen Game One and Game zero?
@@marcusandersson7184 Exact same headphones except Zero is closed ear. One is open ear. Zero uses and all fake leather cup. One uses an all cloth cup. Zero is more comfortable over longer hours of usage but with more sweating. One is less comfortable over longer hours of usage but with no sweating. Sound is slightly better with the One due to it being open ear.
The game one has no bass..... and the trebles are harsh and build quality is trash! Sennheiser isn’t what it’s up to be for gaming....
@@KuyaArbee The bass is great. You are just used to headset with too much bass. Maybe your onboard audio is not good enough for the headset.
"Sennheiser does not actually recommend you use this because the headset goes to sleep when it's inactive"
No, no, no. They recommend you don't use the switch because it's hot garbage and will break fast.
I love breakfast
and still they are the best headphones in the market regarding sound quality. stop being negative when not even tried the headphones urself.
@@TiagoFernandes81 I havent used them yet but I've heard great things about them
I bought this cause I broke my gap 600, I smashed it pretty hard multiple times. Quality is not an issue for this brand.
4 years later, i bought one. Their connection and software is fixed like you said, so no issues! It arrives tomottow im so excited, got A black friday deal for just 111 bucks, i couldnt let that one go haha
I have Steelseries Arctis 7 , and let me tell you every update the sound and 7.1 is getting better and better, I had the pair from early 2018. I say the volume wheel is the only problem with old versions.
Yeah my nephew has those they sounded so good I grabbed the wireless pro's. But I didnt see the justification for the price difference against the arctis 7s so I took the pros back. I also have the a40s and alienware headset and the a40s still sound the best, with the arctis 7 a close second.
I can concur the arctis pro wireless is almost the Holy grail of gaming headsets. I had to pass due to the lack of powerful low end.
@@molomosk123 Yeah the arctis 7s can have better bass than the pros for some reason. Although a slight difference in sound, not worth the price tag. Almost like the tiny batteries of the pro cant provide enough power for good bass. I'll stick with my Alienwares and A40s.
Was waiting for this headset 6 months... No thank you. Game One stays my best friend. Was expecting more from Sennheiser Wireless, from charging station, better design, open design
also on release...This is also your first Sennheiser headset review with more negative bottom line :) tells a lot
Wired is always better than wireles...
That connectivity issue is a dealbreaker. Thanks for the review! Awesome as always!
I've got the GSP 300's. Best purchase ever. They are wired but wireless is expensive.
if they make an open back version... i would think about it
@@Wurstificated i left the gaming headset market because opens back are amazing. You made my point even more.. no one has made one.. be the first
Open back? Watcha mean?
Sennheiser actually made open back models
3:10 "comfort hurts jaw" all i needed to know, thanks.
I just had a pair delivered. I don't agree with the review on a few points: Dongle range is not as bad as reviewers say. Can reach 30ft line of site and punch round 1 wall with a tiny bit of drop out. Bluetooth range is about the same range as dongle. Sound out of the box is noticeably better than my Sennheiser Game One headphones. Sound ever so slightly better on dongle (but not by much). They fit my head well (normal sized head, normal sized ears) Build quality is top notch. Volume wheel does not feel as cheap as the one on the Game One. Don't mess with the mic settings, they are fine out of the box. Mic is better than the Game one and less prone to heavy breathing due to it's shorter length. Good noise cancellation and less hiss (as it is digital). Software still needs work.
Any thoughts on the latency. I just ordered a pair for myself today and I forgot to check on that. I'm upgrading from the 373d So I'm hella excited.
coolcat33333 have not had any issues with latency using dongle while gaming. I have not tried to game using Bluetooth. To me, not noticeable.
The cooler master ad is pure gold.The headsets are my number 1 now
It remind me Charlie and the unicorns. Chaaaaaaarlieee....

just switched from the AWW988 to this Senn, the senn is absolutely amazing! Thanks for the vid
Fantastic review, very informative, thankyou! The microphone quality between the two is rediculously obvious! I really want to go wireless, but the quality of the microphone is making me feel like I should stay with wired.
This headset is currently $170 and I have the Razer barracuda X and I was wondering if this is a better purchase or if I should save up my money and buy something better.
Honest answer please. What headphone are you using for gaming? Im looking to buy new ones and im looking at the jubilee and the 6xx, and knowing you have both and many more i wonder what you use and enjoy.
Many thanks
Right now I'm all into the HD58x and a wireless ModMic. I don't require a mic often so this solution works best for me. Love the sound quality of the headphone with a little extra bass over the HD6xx that are a bit more flat.
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks and using it with any amp/dac or just straight from the motherboard?
The best thing about the GSP lineup is the price drop on the Game series. Not that the GSPs are bad, but the lower prices of the Game series, make them a pretty nice deal. Just got my Game Zero, and i'm loving it!
I have a Sennheisser GSX1000 (thanks for the awesome review btw) and love it, and while I would definitely like wireless, it's not worth losing the quality of my Rode mic and that GSX. Pretty solid looking headset though, might recommend it to a few people who require wireless
Disappointing that they use micro USB and not USB-C for charging. C'mon it's 2019 not 2007...
Otherwise beautiful looking headset and I might get the next revision of the headset if they can make it better when it comes to battery life and the range on the wireless connection (and replace micro USB with USB-C).
Yeah same here, these manufacturers REALLY need to include USB-C for charging, it is 2019 and there is only TWO headphones that uses it for charge and that is sony xm3 and microsoft surface headphones.
@@KAKUN_DESU USB-C is reverse able and can transfer much more data/power than micro USB. Imagine USB-C like Apple's lightning connector but it's better in every way.
@@KAKUN_DESU most USB-C cable are from USB A (2.0/3.0) too USB-C so you don't need a adapter unless the cable is USB-C to USB-C :)
@@KAKUN_DESU another to add is it has a better endurance rating. As in unpluging it and plugin in, eventually all ports wear out but i think usbc is litterary double the endurance rating vs micro usb
Can't help but be rather disappointed - for 349 I expect better mic quality, range and standards like USB-C.
I agree with you. Also a charging station or better battery life would be cool.
Still has one of the best mics of any wireless headsets at any price tbh, wired is always superior.
Especially when Steel series has a battery station which is incredible
@@Cove4773 Antlion has an incredible wireless mic. So you can have that too (not to mention people performing on stages, it's no witchcraft). They always focus way too much on the audio itself but not on the mic which is a shame..
I can forgo the lack of usb C if they had a wireless charging solution
I've been using the HyperX Cloud Flight because I needed a new pair and saw Shroud using it and the reviews on it were pretty good so I decided to give Flight a shot. honestly at $116.96 USD ($159.99 CAD), it's amazing. The sound quality is really good and it's so comfortable. Compared to my old one, I was able to hear things more clearly. It looks nice as well, with simple and nice design. The battery life on this thing is amazing!
I got a pair of these for 120, they're a bit heavier than my other sets of headphones, but for what I paid I'm super happy.
How is the range? Is it true what he said about 4 meters being the max before it starts getting distortion and poorer quality?
I like the GSP 600, it's perfect with the GSX 1000. Being able to correct your audio for different applications: games, music, movies, is very underrated.
I think the problem with the game series, is that their ear cushions are kind of bad. They don't seal well and wear out fast. If you go from the game series to the GSP, you'll think the GSP is a vice on your head until it breaks in after 2 weeks.
Agreed Aramark. The cushions matter. Being it’s been a few years what headphone/ headset would you suggest highly or the best for online action games?
I can hear a very distinct difference between the 3 settings on the microphone.
I was a wireless user for a long time. I didnt want to deal with the cables. But after having the Game ones for the last 4 years I prefer to deal with a cable than having to charge the headset often and have lower sound quality. Looking forward to try the akg 7xx.
Love your headset videos, you do such a great job detailing everything! One thing I often run into is wearing headsets with glasses. It presses my glasses into my head which can hurt over long gaming sessions. If you ever find a headset that works well with glasses or do earbud reviews I would love to see that!
I'm currently using the Sennheiser GSP 500. They are excellent. Very cool and not hot since it's open back; able to use for long periods of time but the best feature I find is the mic quality. Everyone says I sound perfectly clear. It's better quality than Dmitri's example in the vid. However, the biggest issue I have is the build quality. I have never dropped them nor be rough. Both sides have cracked and over time has actually broken off. I have to tape them up otherwise, the ear cups hanging on a wire. Had them for less than 6 months. Since of coronavirus lockdown, I can't get a warranty job on the local shop I've bought them.
I think Siberia 840 is still the best wireless headset for its sound quality, comfort and functionalities. If voice canceling can be added and upgrade the mic quality, it will be perfect
Great Review! As for why the headset may lose connectivity at smaller distances than other headsets, you may have answered that in your video. You said this headset is the new audio standard. They may have achieved this audio quality by using a different frequency for the dongle to headset communication. Just like how AM radio sacrifices quality for range (it uses larger wavelengths than FM), and FM radio has better sound but doesn't travel as far. This headset may work at a higher frequency range in order to secure better quality audio, at the cost of the distance you can wonder from (and how many things can be in the way of) the dongle.
broooo, After a long nights session of gaming my head was deforming.. didnt realize i could lessen the tension :'D Thanks!
I actually use a Sennheiser Game One beside a Sennheiser HD 58X and a HD 800. For me, the Game One is worth its money because it has the most natural sound of all gaming headsets out there and is therefore an absolute all-rounder. You can use it for audio editing, realistic surround sound, games, music, movies etc. And the resolution of it is excellent too and, in my opinion better than from the Sennheiser HD 58X from Drop (Massdrop). I hope that Sennheiser will not discontinued the (old) Game Series.
Outstanding review man. Great work. Watching your "Game One" review next.
I've been going back and forth on headsets after my Steelseries Arctis Pro broke.
Tried them on Best Buy's Magnolia and DAMN!!!!! came back home and ordered the GSP 670, with a free mouse pad and stand.
The cool thing is that they told me i could return them back within 30 days if i change my mind.
I'm using a 15 year old Microsoft stereo wired headset. It still works although the padding on the ear cups has been falling apart slowly for some time now. Its time for a upgrade.
top notch reviews like always ! :) great details of the product.
I have a GSP 600 and I'm happy with the audio using them for music
I have a GSP500 with the GSP600 earpads and now i bought the Arctis Pro Wireless plus Audio Techinca leather earpads, 2 weeks ago.
Honestly , the Arctis Pro´s sound so much much better... Bass, footsteps in CSGO, music , etc ! For me, the best headseat so far, the Arctis Pro Wireless.
hey man, i am looking for the best headset. I was super unhappy with the sound from your sound test and it sorta rules this one out. You did a great job comparing.
What do u think is the best wireless headset 1. prio microphone 2. prio sound quality. 3. prio comfort. I dont care too much about price.
Yea also well done with the ads
I bought these based on your video ...
They have a SERIOUS VOLUME LIMITING ISSUE.
Playing games like PUBG. My 5 year old Razer Kraken 7.1 are twice as loud. Which means ... even if you max out the volume on both the headset and the computer it fails when you need to hear footsteps or feint sounds. A $50 pair of headphones are currently much more viable for gamers who need more volume ... returning my pair immediately as there is no option to increase volume ... not worth the money in any way shape or form.
Good detailed review, the modmic wireless still sounds better for the mic performance to me.
Mic test: 07:25
Nice video, Dmitriy, I believe headset sounds cool but try Plantronics RIG 800 HD Wireless. Lightweight, very convenient with Dolby Atmos but no Bluetooth and twice as cheap. Best movie sound I've ever heard in headsets (like in theatres with Dolby Atmos, yes there is still a lack of content of D.A.), especially wireless, never thought wireless can sound really good. With Russia from love =))))
I got the arctis pro wireless for 200 on prime day! amazing deal as you never have to use a wire due to the dual batteries. Absolutely love them
I had an idea to buy arctis pro with gamedac, but I'm buying GSP 550 (that with open back) and GSX 1200.
@@spiffybeaver4764 ok? why are you telling me this?
@@PizzaOMC So why did you write your comment? And why did you like it?
@@spiffybeaver4764 I'm pointing out the features saying theres no need to get the gsp670 but you just told me what you got and it's not even wireless
@@PizzaOMC Because wired stuff is always better. And that gsp670 is better than that arctis pro wireless. But if I had to decide with that price I would pick arctis pro, too. 150$ cheaper...
So in a 1 on 1 comparison between GSP 670 and Steelseries Pro Wireless...which one you taking?
that would be a nice comparison since they have the same pricepoint
Arctis pro easy
i recommend people to not be to stingy when buying headset. I had to buy 3 cheap logitech headsets over 2 years, because they broke so easily. Now i have had an expensive sennheiser headset for 7 years and its still going strong. In the long run i have saved a lot of money.
well hello there
it don't matter
it's about where i'm going...
sure..
we'll see..
everybody loves a 4 way hidden d-pad and a cool oled display...
plus i'm quite sensitive at 24,000 dpi plus rgb you gotta try.....
How would you compare the 7.1 sound positioning between the GSP670 and the Logitech G933/G935? I own the G933's and would consider swapping if the audio positioning is better!
I had first G933 then bought Arctis 7 which sucked in surround/sound quality/how it feels on head.. then switched back to a new pair of G933. Now I have G935 but I don't even use DTS:X(G935 doesn't have Dolby Headphone which is useless anyhow with Dolby Atmos around) as Win10 Dolby Atmos is just so much better. Would use just Dolby Atmos on any of the headsets around so what surround/sound positioning the manufacturer drivers has feels kind of useless.. :P You just gotta use USB Generic drivers to be able to enable Dolby Atmos(instructions can be googled).
@HardwareCanucks I love your headset reviews I wear a wired Sennheiser headset myself for my PC and also have a Gen 1 Wireless Astro A50 headset for my PS4. I would love to hear your review on the newer Astro A50's that came out if you could get your hands on a pair. Keep up the Great reviews on everything you do.
Got mine today, sending it back. It seems to go into some quick sleep mode after just a few seconds, after which the next time a sound plays there is a delay of a fraction of a second where you have no audio, then there is a slight crackle and the audio starts playing. This means if you start watching a video where they talk from the very first moment of the video, you miss the start of their first word and you get that stupid little pop sound. Additionally, because this happens after just a few seconds of no sound, you'll get it even if you pause the video and then click through to a different timestamp. There is no way to turn this off. The auto sleep setting in the software does not disable this. As a result I find them completely unusable, it's just far too annoying an issue to live with. They are going back.
The only thing that's bugging me about these sennheiser headsets is the non retractable mic
so.. GSP 760 VS Audeze Mobius? who's are the best?
The difference between the *warm and clear* presets is present... But it is so subtle that if I were not listening for it, I wouldn't even notice it. I'm using a pair of reference headphones which is probably why I can hear it but most people will not hear the difference.
Liked automatically after seeing squad and EFT gameplay
Same
Ppl hating on how it looks but I think it's nice
I understand that should be more wide in terms of fitting, but my GSP500 it's very confortable to me, i do Endurance in Simracing and more then straight 4 hours with them in my head, i also have an old PC350, i think mine was sample for a Portuguese resselar and still rock.
I just feel like using a good value audiophile headphone like 58x, 6xx or k7xx (all of these less than 200 dollars) from massdrop with a modmic 5 (70usd) is a better value with better sound
Jeff You should check z reviews guide for audiophile headsets that are good for gaming as well. 58x is indeed a good one awaiting mine to arrive.
Please do more videos on Headsets! I seen all of them.
I’ll still rock my Astro A50 gen1 for now then. They feel very comfy.
I don't know if mentioned, but how is audio compare with the GSP 600 and GSP 670? Is it better,worst, or similar?
Update: I bought this headset around this time and it WAS my most regretted purchase of all time, however, as time has gone on, EPOS's driver software is night and day compared to how it was when I first bought this $500 (CAD) headset.
When I first purchased the 670, my dongle simply wouldn't connect sometimes and disconnect randomly a lot, it was infuriating. Also, the software didn't work at all like in this video.
Now, this headset is awesome to use. The software is fixed, the dongle is fixed, the only complaint now is battery, non-replacable battery for a wireless headset.... ridiculous. Oh well, at the end of the day I would never make this purchase again, but I'm so glad after my horrible original experience EPOS has re-gained my trust with fixing all the issues with this 3 year old headset.
Where did you find the "fixed" software? I got an EPOS headset a week ago and the software does nothing more than take space on my ssd.
I think I want a comparison between companies, Logitech g935, steel series arctics pro hyper x cloud flight, razor nari ultimate etc...
If you're spending that much you mine as well get the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless. Best headset I've ever used, own (I currently have 5 different headsets), and full of features. Goes for $50 less than this headset as well. Highly recommend for enthusiasts.
I'm still waiting on "guardians of the galaxy 3".
Im usin gsp600+ gsx1000. What you think about that combo, i dont think im going to change these. Before these i used astro a50 and a50 was best wireles headset ive used.
I was waiting for this :)
Small correction regarding the battery life they claim. This is taken from their website "With over 20 hours run time over Bluetooth®, and 16 hours using the low-latency connection" low-latency connection being the connection used with the dongle. So seems spot on with what they claim.
i wish they would make a wireless headset where the mic quality isn't compressed. something like a wireless game one
Overdesigned, lack of type c, no cool charging dock or anything similar, dinky usb transmitter and heavy design that many people find not very comfortable (see 600 reviews.) Not worth 350. Not even close.
+1
I think I'll go for the PC 373D instead. I used to have the previous model and was VERY happy with that one.
Thank you for the great review. I’ll stick to the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless. It just perfectly ticks off everything I need. PS4 and PC surround, input switching so no fiddling with wires or swopping dongles, and simultaneous Bluetooth phone connection. Battery charging dock a lifesaver.
I want to stay within Sennheiser , but venture into wireless now. I like the specs, but man I really hate how it looks and I am not all that impressed by the mic. My Game One's have been around for 6 years and its still going!
I go with sony in ear plugs hooked up to a mayflower electronics amp/dac combo and a snowball usb mic. Works like a charm and my friends think it sounds good to when we play togheter.
Ear phones arent as good sound quality wise cant hear foot steps as well in csgo from my experience.
Wish they make open back wireless headphones
Sennheiser rs185
I'm still really enjoying my relatively new and outstanding sounding Sennheiser pc37x from massdrop thanks.
Mic on that headset is too quiet for me. I have to turn myself up along with my friends turning me up in discord to hear me. I have a bassy voice too so I'm no exactly a quiet talker. Anything I might be missing? Just got the Arctis Wireless Pro so I doubt I'll go back to it, but just wondering. I mostly use it for my Switch now.
You were thinking you had the Glorious Model O. Who needs anything else?!?!?!
I wish they were still available, because I'd had loved to see your opinion on the SkullCandy Plyr1. I've been using them for a few years, and to my ear they sound great and work well, with the one caveat being an older design with no software and it was difficult to figure out the Dolby surround initially.
I want to see or hear the comparison between this and Antlion Modmic Wireless mic.
Would you recommend these headphones for recording your voice overs? It seems like a bad piece of equipment for voice over.
ricky v if your referring to the mic absolutely not. There is no wireless gaming headset worth a shit for mic sound. The best it gets is various lapel mics or the modmic wireless.
Truth Time TV Thank you for this bit of info. I was wondering about this.
ill stick with the g935 wireless you said that was the best sounding at the time, and yes it is. battery life is pretty good and the mis is also good.
Yeah...I felt that price tag "ouch" but definitely a step up from wearing my wireless afterglows giving 5 years of reliable service.
Using the Rapoo VH-150. Great headset for the money!
Hi. Great review, very in depth. I am trying to find the answer to a question that no one seems to know. Do you know if it's possible to accept and hang up skype calls with a button on this headset? can the smart button for example be configured to do it? I can't find any mention of it but I assume they might have put it in a firmware update? seems like a really weird thing to miss out given you might be using skype with a headset like this. Thanks for any help you can give.
Good review, thank you
Are these plug n play, like in a work PC, or do they need software install?
lol, I like the brutally honest review. Good humor.
great review as allways. Question... if i connect it over bluetooth with my TV (lg oled c6 55) and play a dolbyvision netflix movie when i press the smart button does anything ? any 3d effect at all?
I use Sennheiser GAME ZERO and my secondary headset is the HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro
I gave up on headsets a few years ago. The best sound quality will always come from a proper pair of headphones with a good DAC and AMP. It's truly worth the investment. Sound is such an important aspect to the immersion of games, its something that gets overlooked sometimes. That said, headsets are convenient, and take up less space. They certainly have their purpose.
That being said, the price of this headset is completely atrocious. $350 for a plastic, low end Sennheiser with a microphone attached. Not saying the plastic is going to fall apart, or it's low quality, but you're hitting the price range for where more premium materials should be getting used. Also, those pads are terrible. At this price range, you're going higher than M1060C's, fostex T60rp's, AKG 701's, Beyerdynamic's DT line, etc etc etc.
You're not getting what you're playing for. Good sound quality isn't $350. A gaming headset, especially one compatible toward consoles should not cost this much when you consider what you're getting. Plastic, no USB-C, bad comfort, gaudy ass looks. I love Sennheiser, but you're paying for a name with this product. Please note, I hate to dismiss a product like this. I have no doubt the bottomline sound quality for a gaming headset is good, these are just at a bad price point when the rest of the headset is considered.
HD660S > HD800s
For less money I bought cloud flight + quadcast mic combo. I was expecting a sennheiser wireless gaming headset, but I prefer something with more simplistic design(as cloud flight) and the price point doesn't seem to fit with the features.
Still, on that price point, seems to be a way better product than the Steelseries Artics Pro.
Dont tell me you got the quadcast s though. Mic quality is the literal same as the regular quadcast, it just has an rgb, and its way more expensive. I see so many people getting the quadcast s nowadays its actually concerning 😂
I have a GSP 600 paired with GSX 1000
I think I'm going to keep waiting, Wireless sounds awesome but it won't ever be as good as wired.
Could you tell me if it's similar or better compared to the gsp670 or the gsp 370? I've been looking at the gsp 600 but I don't know what I should go for I'm buying based off of sound
Hyperx Cloud II is what I am currently using. Great and comfortable and I love the metal frame. Sound is good in my opinion, but seems to be lacking. I have notice some of my friends can hear things(gun shots in a BR game like Apex) way before I can.
SierraWonTree I would recommend you senn Game ones. I have noticed that I am the scout in my Apex team since they never seem to know where the people are coming from and I can easily detect where the enemies are. They always point that the game audio is garbage but I can even tell exactly where they are and if they are using meds, batteries or reviving. I cant believe when I spectate them and they have enemies coming from left, right or behind and I have to tell them because they have no clue.😪
Sennheiser Game One and sound blaster z for wired and Steelseries arctis 7 2019 for wireless use. I like both.
Hey question what do you think about the hyper x orbit s vs the 670 ??? I can trade them in but I’m not sure if I should. I don’t mind the wire either, and I was thinking about buying the epos amp the $80. If you can please let me know your opinion
You can't demonstrate audio, I hear it out of what I'm wearing. That's like reviewing a monitor and then showing game play
Yes that makes sense, but It's more about the relative difference. It's good he compared it with other microphones.
What? The HyperX Cloud Flight sounds muddy? What the hell Dimitri? I've ordered this listening to your review! And you gave an excellent review, and now you're saying it sucks?
