Special mention must go to the amply sized volume control. And as for sound, they are pretty powerful. For anyone turned off by the look of traditional gaming headsets, this is a massive plus. Musically, that slightly scooped characteristic suits rock, metal and EDM brilliantly. If you want a simplified gaming experience without sacrificing much audio quality, the GSP 370 does it just as well as pricier headsets by making searches for the charging cable much less frequent. Get instant access to breaking news, in-depth reviews and helpful tips. The result is completely silent movements and adjustments. The GSP 370 has a smaller frame and less clamping force, and they still look a bit ridiculous, but nowhere near the ugly fit of the GSP 600 series. Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. I found the Warm one to be the most useful, but it doesn’t magically transform this into a Blue Yeti mic. After restarting Sennheiser Gaming Suite the Side Tone button appeared. The software and all of its issues killed the competitive nature of this headset despite it being super comfortable and sounding very good for a wireless pair. A combination of soft artificial leather and even softer suede encases the pads without the slightest stitching defect on our review sample. The headband's hollow design helped keep the overall weight down and distributed evenly over the two memory foam pads sitting on my head.

What HAPPENED! This isn’t a perfect headset - when are they ever? The sound clarity is very pleasant to my ears. By comparison, the Corsair Virtuoso wireless headset sounds slightly better, not as compressed and not as nasally. In addition to the memory foam headband and earpads, there are more subtle details, like the soft foam around the ball joint connecting the headband to the earcup. But with around 20 hours of charge time, which has slightly degraded on my unit after about a year of use, we really have to consider this wonder-battery in the GSP 370 as a strong rival. The volume wheel on the right now has the soft tactile steps that move in 2% increments, and the actual volume adjustment is not immediate it catches up in a few seconds. These are not Bluetooth unlike the GSP 670, the wireless connection is handled by the USB dongle that is labeled on their side for clarification.

We have a nice and tight seal for great passive isolation, and the ear cups are fantastic with this velvet top layer that makes contact with your skin and the leather body for the exterior that beautifully traps those bass hits. They are tuned to sound a bit more open, so the soundstage is not super claustrophobic and closed off like you would find on the. That 100-hour claimed battery life takes top billing on the feature list, and while you’d have to give us several years to test out how well this figure holds up over time, our review unit lasted about 70 hours with heavy gaming usage at typical and varying volumes. That wouldn’t be a massive deal, but the mic isn’t the best in the first place. The detail resolution is nowhere near what I would get with a wired pair, like my Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee. This is the very first product to arrive in the office by Sennheiser (EPOS now) so without further ado let's check it out.

- but in the most important categories it puts in a heck of a performance. Digitize your AV management workflow. There's a simple brand logo on the joint at each side of the headband and a very small "Sennheiser" and model name higher up the band. This design’s immediately comfortable and required very little adjustments. 3.

I run these at between 60% and 80% volume, so there’s a bit of headroom left in terms of power output. The headset will also not wake up after I reboot the system, and I have to replug the dongle every single time, which does not happen on any of my Intel machines. They are rated for a 100 hours and I used them for a week extensively – easily over 70 hours of usage – and only then did they drop to the 20% low battery beep. Also like the Kraken Ultimate, it’s great at keeping things like speech or higher musical notes distinct when lower frequencies are booming away. New York, When the headset hit 20% battery, the Sennheiser software politely informed me that it might be a nice time to locate that USB charge cable that came in the box. Elsewhere in the software are EQ presets, a stereo/7.1 toggle and a sound test. Comfort wise they’re fantastic, but battery life has impressed me the most. It's not the very useful in most scenarios, but it’s there. Although the  GSP 370 houses one of the richest and most powerful tones I've heard from a gaming headset in recent times, if I really listened for it I could hear a very slight reduction in overall sound resolution compared to a great set of wired cans. Using the Warm or Clear presets, you can alter the sound slightly.

Headset firmware version: 3.1.2003.c1.NgQA.2.21. Everything else was working perfectly fine, I could hear my audio, but my microphone just stopped picking up my audio until I replugged the USB dongle. Feel free to contact us! The treble is smooth, nice roll-off in typical Sennheiser fashion, with nice bass trapping in there as well that doesn’t overpower frequencies. New York, The headphones are made of a very durable plastic material that feels high-quality. It’s smoother than the HyperX Cloud Flight, the Logitech G935, and the Corsair Virtuoso combined. NY 10036. The issues that arise with something like that are just unexpected from the Sennheiser side, which is why the Cloud Flight still is my wireless recommendation. They are extremely comfortable, I’ve never encountered any sort of issues in terms of drivers and the microphone not working, the audio distorting, it shutting down my system, it not working with DaVinci Resolve, etc. This does exactly what it sounds like - dials up or down the width of the digital sound stage and the echo that comes with it. Color wise I appreciate the dark tones, it’s a good looking pair. Longer battery life means more time to game, and if that's a main priority for you, one of the best gaming headsets is Sennheiser’s GSP 370 ($200 at the time of writing, PC, Mac and PlayStation 4).

Environmental ambiance in Red Dead 2 and Fallen Order were also perfectly fine, no complaints with the driver performance. The GSP 370 is similar to the wired Kraken Ultimate in that it crumbles the tiny bones of your inner ear to a fine powder with its bass response but keeps things tight enough to articulate higher frequencies in great detail too.

I mean it’s Sennheiser we are talking about, they sound great, they make fantastic hardware that lasts forever, but software is not their strong suit. Yes, you still have to admit defeat every once in a while and hook it up to a USB Type-A port, but probably only once a week. Should you wish to inflict digital surround on yourself, you can do so via Sennheiser’s software suite (more on that in Features and Software below). And as for sound, they are pretty powerful. If your music collection's 95% whispery singer-songwriters, you won't get the absolute most out of the headset , but you'll still hear the details well enough to be moved by the music. That suite includes a dial for virtual 7.1 surround sound. Visit our corporate site. GSP 370 Headset/Dongle Firmware Update .

The microphone sounds really poor for the price point. The chassis itself is much closer to that of the original GSP 300  (that came out in 2016) in shape but features premium construction materials throughout and an understated gunmetal finish across the earcups and headband. It is VITAL that this is done prior to use, as there have been a number of key updates that will affect the quality of the product. We are excited to introduce you to our new wireless gaming headset, the GSP 370. I will say the layering is so much better with GSP 370 versus the Corsair Virtuoso and the Cloud Flight, but they do sound pretty comparable to the G935 from Logitech. And that's while extending claimed battery life up to 20 hours (via Bluetooth) over the flagship.

The Sennheiser GSP 670 has disappointed me in the past and I’m told the new GSP 370 is supposed to make up for it, so let’s see if it does. There was a problem. Features aside, the only obvious visual nod to this being for gaming are the ripples in the back of the earcups, which probably wouldn’t make it onto audiophile-style or office headsets.
