Review: Audiophile's perspective - I've been into Hi-fi headphones for over a decade now. My current collection is: Audeze LCD-2's, Sennheiser HD650's, Sennheiser 558's, and Audio Technica CKM500's. I've also owned Audio Technica ATH-M50's, Audio Technica AD700's, and the first gen Kingston HyperX headset. Most of my music collection is FLAC/lossless running from a Creative Sound Blaster XE-5 as my DAC into a Little Dot MKII tube amplifier using custom made silver coated copper cables throughout. I mostly bought the GAME ONE headset since I started working from home. The short answer is that this a good headset and the kind of quality you'd expect from Sennheiser. A huge step up from my Kingston HyperX's while not costing that much more. You can pay the same price as them if you find them on sale in fact, which is what I did and wish I made this decision a long time ago. Very happy with them and proud to add them to my collection. The long answer? I'll be judging this based off the other headphones I have while keeping the price to performance in mind. Specifically my 558's because of how similar they are. Comfort: 5/5 I have a big head, so comfort is really important to me. Although these don't come close to my LCD-2's, it's a bit unfair to compare $800 headphones to a headset I bought on sale for $65. The construction is extremely similar if not identical to my 558's, which hold a special place in my heart. Overall, while not as pleasant as my LCD-2's, these are in no way bad or uncomfortable. I have no problem keeping these on for hours at a time without my ears getting sore or anything. Sound: 5/5 for gaming and 4/5 for music. I was half expecting these to sound the same as my 558's, but there's more emphasis in the low-end/bass due to these being "gaming" branded and marketed to non-audio enthusiasts. This is a common theme for products advertised to general consumers and from my experience, headphones with an exaggerated bass frequency can be categorized in two ways: fun or obnoxious. By obnoxious, I am talking about Dr Dre Beats or "fashion" headphones that have zero appeal to anyone that actually values sound quality. Fun headphones with an overtuned low-end such as the GAME ONE's as well as a lot of my other headphones can still retain clarity while not sounding like a wet fart blowing into my ears and drown out the mids or highs. The overall sound stage is extremely similar to my 558's, which is excellent and great for gaming as you will be able to pinpoint player positioning in FPS's by sound alone. For music, they are above average and would most likely satisfy your average users' needs. However, if audio quality for music is important to you and would rather just have one setup for everything, then you may want to consider a dedicated set of headphones + external mic as these would be my last pick for "what headphones do I want to listen to music with today?" Speaking of microphone.... Microphone: 5/5 I used a Kingston HyperX Quadcast condenser mic briefly, but to be honest I was never impressed with the sound quality and I didn't want to fiddle with an external mic anymore by constantly having to re-adjust it or worry about it picking up background noise due to it being more sensitive. It's one of those things about headsets I came to appreciate more and you'd probably have to spend upwards of $200-300 to find an external mic or headset that is significantly better than the GAME ONE. Overall, I have gotten no complaints and it sounded great for its intended purpose after doing a few short recordings. Other thoughts: One of the top comments mentions the need for an amplifier to drive these, which I found to be completely unnecessary and untrue as these are low impedance. Impedance for headphones, in layman terms, means how much power they require to reach their true potential. High impedance headphones without an amplifier will have very low volume and sound dull because they're underpowered. The only thing an amplifier will do to the GAME ONE's is cause them to reach loud volumes much, much sooner and could actually risk blowing out the drivers.
Review: One of the best Headsets - This is simply the greatest headset I've owned so far, and many reviewers say they are the best sounding headphones orientated towards gaming. They surprisingly have a decent mic as well and has good noise cancellation in the mic, however any decent studio or condenser mic will greatly beat it. I also have owned turtle beaches, corsair vengeance 1500, and steelseries serbias before this headset, all of them don't even get close to the quality of this one. I also recently bought the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros, they sound but not as good as these. + The sound is very crisp, since these are open-ear, soundstage and distancing is nearly perfect. The trebbles are not over-pronounced, clean, and tight unlike every other headset I've had. They have clean and tight bass that isn't overwhelming (Also like most headphones), and mids are perfect. Open ear leaks all sound however, so just be aware. + Detachable cable is a nice touch, makes it easy to switch to mobile or if you wanna disconnect it in general. + This headset is also the most comfortable, it is microfiber so it does attract hair and dust, but I usually can wear these for hours without problems. The head band also has good support. + Overall build quality is good, they are stretchy and feel like they won't break. The red accents are nice and there's nothing obnoxious with the design, it's very clean and professional looking. So far no cons, yes Sennheiser probably does make better headphones but they cost more. And I probably won't buy any other brands. The problem with gaming headphones is not only are they garbage but they always market everything towards gaming, their sound is inaccurate and poor and usually they have overwhelming bass and bad mids and high-ends. These are slightly pricey but it isn't a con for the quality. The old Corsair Vengeance 1500 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. The steelseries Serbias have a terrible mic, overwhelming bass and very mediocre sound and are super uncomfortable. Before that, I had turtle beach (bad mistake), they were slightly uncomfortable and had not that great of sound, mic was very mediocre and they broke right after warranty. Read reviews and watch videos on this headset, you'll be impressed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone with big head/ears try this? My ATH m50x make my ears sore after wearing them for an hour.**
A: M50x earpads are significantly smaller than the HD 598/GAME ONE pads, you’ll have more room for your ears with the GAME series. Game Zero are the same form factor, but closed back (like ear muffs) and pleather pads.

I don’t know if you’re using the pleather or velour pads with your ATH, but I tend to feel leather, protein leather, or pleather (plastic leather) all seem to feel harder the longer you wear them, plus they build up sweat. I personally prefer Velour by a long shot, and Sennheiser’s velour is softer and not prickly/itchy like many other brands’ Velour. That said, some people just feel more comfortable with Leather(ette), or like that leather(ette) is more durable/easier to clean, in which case Dekoni Audio makes the softest leatherette I’ve ever felt specifically for the Game One/PC37X.

**Q: Can you hear yourself when you talk into the mic?**
A: "I think the questioner is asking whether this headset has a built-in feedback loop feature..." - Tyler

Tyler, thanks for the info. However, these headphones are open-back design, which allows sound from the outside world (including your own voice) to enter your ear-holes. lol. 
So the feedback loop feature you're talking about (present in other headphones, and not this one) would be useful for closed-back earphones (unlike these headphones). I'm thinking that the feedback loop feature would be redundant for the open-back design, for most people. The exception being for those people cranking up the volume so loud to the point it drowns out the sound of their own voice/s (while risking permanent eardrum damage and deafness in old age). imho.

**Q: Could I also use these for my Ipod and phone?**
A: It terminates to two separate 3.5mm connectors, so you'd only be able to use the audio, but yes. Additionally you could purchase a sperate adapter that takes two three pole 3.5mm inputs and converts it to a single four pole like the Apple earbuds use. On a side note, you would look ridiculous wearing these in public and would have like two meters in cable bunched up in your pocket.

**Q: Do these work for ps4?**
A: I purchased these for my PS4 as well and it does work though you have to purchase a separate adapter.  Sennheiser PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter that is the one you need in order to make it work with the PS4 controller. It works fine and I've had no issues since I purchased it back in 2014.
