Sennheiser G4ME ONE PC Gaming Headset Black AD

Love the Sennheiser GAME ONE Gaming Headset. High quality sound. Good for gaming and other uses like Zoom meetings. Love the purchase.

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.

Creo que la gente de Mexico que hace reviews normalmente pasan por alto muchos defectos de varios productos, lo digo porque ninguna de mis reviews sera asi, yo digo las cosas como son, no endulzo nada. He probado muchos audifonos (mas que nada para gaming, Astro a40, varios modelos Turtle Beach, Tritton, Razer y Hyper X) y tengo que decir que estos tienen el mejor sonido que haya experimentado, sin mencionar que el microfono es bastante bueno (no como los Astro donde en el 90% de sus headsets el microfono es basura, te hace que suenes como robot, y aun asi la gente le da 5 estrellas aqui). Ahora, tambien tengo unos audifonos V Moda, los cuales me han durado mucho, casi siempre cuido muchisimo mis cosas pero por alguna razon esos se me han caido como 15 veces en 2 años y aun funcionan al 100%, creo que tienen un sonido muy bueno (aun que siempre pense que mis Turtle beach Tango sonaban mejor para la musica). Bueno pues estos Sennheiser se llevan de calle a los V Moda, no hay comparacion, suenan increible, la claridad me deja perplejo la verdad, ya hasta estoy pensando en comprar otros para tener unos para gaming y otros para musica. Son mis primeros Sennheiser y pues la marca se acaba de ganar un cliente mas. Estos audifonos te dan un sonido muy natural, si esperas que tengan un super bajo, olvidalo, no te gustaran. Estan creados para dar un sonido claro y de calidad, no para apantallar, no te haran retumbar la cabeza ni escucharas explosiones exageradas (para eso te recomiendo los Hyper X que son baratos y la verdad para su precio son excelentes) Los 2 "defectos" que pudiera mencionar son: Aun que se ven resistentes, no se siente que el material sea de tan buena calidad pero seguramente que si los cuidas te duraran mucho. La funcion para "mutear" el microfono, segun he leido, termina haciendo que se descomponga el microfono por lo cual no la usare. Por cierto, los V Moda Crossfade LP2 estan en mas de $3000 y estos ahorita estan a un super precio, realmente estoy tentado a comprar otros.

Excellent headset. It's my 2nd pair. The previous lasted me 9 years.
