Customer Ratings & Reviews

During my search for a new headset, I tried about a half dozen different pairs, and this set was BY FAR the best. Pros: - Tight, but comfortable fit (can wear for hours and hours straight) - Detachable cable - Comes with short 4 Pole 3.5mm cable (good for Xbox one/ PS4 Controllers mobile phone) - Comes with long dual 3.5mm cable (good for PC) - On ear volume control - Auto Mute mic when boom is flipped up. This is great when used with a controller that doesn't have on board volume adjustments - Incredible audio quality - Open back design give a fantastic sound stage, and for a father like me, allows me to hear my baby monitor, even with the headset on. - Decent Mic Cons: - Detachable cable is proprietary - Non Detachable Mic. Not a deal breaker, but a shame since the audio quality is so good, these could easily be used as standard headphones. Other thoughts: While the Mic is good and is perfectly acceptable for its purpose, it is not as good as many online reviews you may find. Bass is a tad on the low side. Conclusion: If this headset fits your budget, and you don't plan to dedicate this headset to listening bass heavy music, this is a very hard headset to beat.

I am no audiophile but I got these as an upgrade from a Hyper X. Now, first thing is they dont have the boomy bass of many gaming headsets. What this set does have is extreme clarity! It still has bass and you can get more if you are good with EQ or settings on the sound card. I had to tweak with this set quite a bit at first but now that I have it right, it is amazing. The mic is also top of the line in my opinion. Very clear and huge upgrade over the HyperX mic. I'm not bashing the HyperX as that is a great set too, this is just better.

Absolutely love this headset. Sound is amazing even on the straight 3.5mm connector. All the guys say my voice sounds crystal clear and it is very comfortable. Just remove the velcro off the cable and they are perfect.

I use the Sennheiser headphones with my Xbox One playing video games. The sound is great and I'm gold my voice comes in clear over the microphone. I've warn them for up to 5 hours at a time and they are comfortable, but my head gets hot in that time and they do fit snugly to your head so some people may find that irritating over time. I've used them for as long as 6 hours in one stretch before my controller died (controller has lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Overall happy with the purchase.

This is my second pair, first pair the braided cord was kinked at purchase to it eventually ripped the wires, returned via best buy warranty and purchased another one. Great quality, good mic, definitely get the open air one (this model versus the game zero). I used to always use the closed ones for the bass but the open air is so much more comfortable, no sweating. Sound quality is significantly more lifelike due to the open stage, first time i put them on i was literally looking around and out the window for where the sound was coming from before i realized it was from the headphones. I wear these headphones 16 hours a day with no issues.

I use this headset to game on PC, PS4, Xbox One, WiiU and PS Vita. The sound is completely natural. Meaning that there are no added effects or sounds other than what the game is offering, so you get to hear the game exactly how the developer intended you to. I also own b&w P7's which are superior to this product in every way except gaming, IMO Sennheiser really nailed what they set out to do with this headset. It all comes back to that natural sound these offer and the great mic. You will need a separate adapter PCV 05, if you want to use the mic on Xbox live or PSN. It's $15 and converts the Y connector ( mic & audio) to a single plug so you can plug into the Dualshock4, xbox one controller, wiiu gamepad, or vita and use voice chat. You will also need the Xbox one chat adapter to plug into if using microsofts console. This headset is a tank. Its light weight, but very solid (plastic) and even though it hasn't happened I know it could take a drop to a hard floor and not be damaged. The mic is off when raised, you simply lower the mic to turn it on and chat away. There is a volume wheel on the right side of the headset. This is one of my favorite features just for the ease of use, you won't realize how much you will use this until you start using the product, at least I didn't. The volume on the wheel adjusts the sound and chat from 40-100%. You can't turn the sound off with the dial alone. If I'm not going to be using voice chat I plug into my reciever using the supplied larger plug. I do notice a difference in sound. It sounds better than when using them plugged into a controller. It has more bass and can be turned up louder, but you can't use the mic. So the sound quality of this headset is somewhat determined by the source of the audio and the power it outputs. That being said, they still sound very good while plugged directly into the controllers I listed. Almost forgot to mention how comfortable these are. The plush velvet ear pads are very soft and flexible. They feel great around your ears and pressing against your head for hours is a non issue. You forget your wearing them after awhile. These are open, so you can hear everything going on around you, they also leak sound, so others can hear them somewhat. I'm probably forgetting something but this is a long read already. If you've made it this far thanks for reading and if you couldn't tell, I definitely recommend these for any gamer looking for a quality headset.

Very comfortable, mic easily shuts off by flipping up, great sound quality for both gaming and music. Love these!

Sennheiser makes some very high quality headsets. This one is pretty solid, good sound, nice detail, pretty open soundstage. The mic is nice, feels very solid, and mutes when rotated up. The only issue with the headset is that some extended low bass notes sometimes produce a tiny little vibration rattle. It doesn't happen often, and it seems to be resolved by removing the inner ear cloth dust covers. Anyway, good gaming headset.

First, things first. I have a huge head, and it is hard to find a headset to fit comfortably. This headset is one of the most comfortable headsets that I have ever worn. The sound coming out of this headset is very clean, and I found myself using them for general music consumption and hardcore gaming.

I got this awesome headset for a reasonably good price. Everyone knows Sennheiser makes quality headsets. I wasn't disappointed with the quality of sound and built quality. You just have to adjust your EQ sounding on your operating system manually to improve sound quality the way you like. Mic is pretty decent. I recommend this headset

I work from home and bought this primarily to use for making iPhone calls from my phone. Because my daughters tend make a lot of noise in the background, I wanted a headset that can minimize the background noise so people on the other end of the line won't pick up that noise when I'm on the phone. On that front -- this works pretty well. I do feel like the earpiece/speaker is not as loud as I would like it to be so I tend to pump the volume as high as it will allow me to make sure I can hear the people on the other end of the line during phone calls. But if I use it to just watch shows (Netflix, Hulu, etc) from my iPhone, I have no issues with the sound. If you're using this on your mobile phone like I am, you'll need to purchase a separate adaptor so that the mic works for your phone calls. The adaptor that comes with this headset when used on your mobile phone will work only for the earpiece but not for the microphone.

Let me start by saying these game one headset on ps4 are incredible. I’m sure it’s even better on pc but for a console it gets the job done plus more. Sound is crisp and comfy. The Mic is best in the market period. FYI just make sure to purchase small adapter for PS4 remote and your set.

These are comfortable to wear for long periods of time in front of the computer. The sound is unbelievable, and the mic works great too.

I was looking for a great headset something that give you the bang out of your buck. These are far better than some Astros we'll built, sound is great. There is lack software not that much options given, but gaming and listening to music would work great.

First off the comfort of these headphones is just wow. The velvet ear pads make it feel as if nothing was there. More importantly, the sound quality of these things is awesome especially when paired with a Mix Amp or sound card.

Headsets tend to lack sound quality but this is as good as it gets for a headset. Far better than your turtle beaches, and other pure gaming brands. Mic works very well as well. If you are willing to pay for it, it's one of the best headsets available.

Just amazing sound quality and comfort, I came from Logitech's newest wireless headset and though this one is wired and does lack some features it's sound quality and fit is perfect for what I wanted.

I love everything about this headset. Audio quality top notch, mic quality is great. It's light and comfortable.

The velvet cups made my ears sweat almost immediately. The sound quality was good, but not really any better than the various $100 headsets out there. And the fact that they're open didn't really help all that much. You can hear yourself speaking to a degree, but once there's audio coming through, I found myself shouting to hear myself. They're pretty barebones otherwise. There's no mute button or any kind of inline controls, the microphone isn't removable or even adjustable beyond swiveling up and down. They also fit a bit tight, which doesn't help when they're already very hot. There are better choices out there for sure, especially for the price.

This is my 1st open ear headset. It did take a little getting used to as I can now hear external sounds not just game sounds. I went ahead and got the DOLBY app for XBOX and WOW you hear every sounds imaginable through these. Definitely recommend.
