The Best Wireless Headset Yet!? Sennheiser GSP 670 Review
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 😎 -D.

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.
That connectivity issue is a dealbreaker. Thanks for the review! Awesome as always!
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.
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!
top notch reviews like always ! :) great details of the product.
just switched from the AWW988 to this Senn, the senn is absolutely amazing! Thanks for the vid
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.
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.
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
Good detailed review, the modmic wireless still sounds better for the mic performance to me.
I have a GSP 600 and I'm happy with the audio using them for music
I was waiting for this :)
3:10 "comfort hurts jaw" all i needed to know, thanks.
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
Good review, thank you
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.
@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.
$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.
Best in-video add ever!
broooo, After a long nights session of gaming my head was deforming.. didnt realize i could lessen the tension :'D Thanks!
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.
Please do more videos on Headsets! I seen all of them.
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.
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'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 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 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.
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.
Sennheiser Game One and sound blaster z for wired and Steelseries arctis 7 2019 for wireless use. I like both.
Using the Rapoo VH-150. Great headset for the money!
I've got the GSP 300's. Best purchase ever. They are wired but wireless is expensive.
lol, I like the brutally honest review. Good humor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I want to see or hear the comparison between this and Antlion Modmic Wireless mic.
so.. GSP 760 VS Audeze Mobius? who's are the best?
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...
I think I'll go for the PC 373D instead. I used to have the previous model and was VERY happy with that one.
I am currently using a pair of audio-technica mx20 and they are so good when I am editing videos or just chilling
still rocking the HyperX Cloud Flight 🔥🔥🔥
"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.
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 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.
Liked automatically after seeing squad and EFT gameplay
Same
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 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
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.
I don't know if mentioned, but how is audio compare with the GSP 600 and GSP 670? Is it better,worst, or similar?
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.
Sticking with my game one
thumbs up just for the product placement :D
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
Yeah...I felt that price tag "ouch" but definitely a step up from wearing my wireless afterglows giving 5 years of reliable service.
I think I want a comparison between companies, Logitech g935, steel series arctics pro hyper x cloud flight, razor nari ultimate etc...
I'd really like a comparison to the creative SXFI wireless headset..
when did you switch and why did you switch to da vinci resolve from adobe premiere?
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 can hear a very distinct difference between the 3 settings on the microphone.
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...
Looks awesome
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?
Hey Dimitri, can you please tell me does it compare well over a non-gaming good quality headphone like HD 58X I already have?
Always show the price at the end. The only actual tip I got from LTT

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.
Nice to see EFT used :)
The cooler master ad is pure gold.The headsets are my number 1 now
It remind me Charlie and the unicorns. Chaaaaaaarlieee....
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.
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.
I’ll still rock my Astro A50 gen1 for now then. They feel very comfy.
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
Damn...I was hoping for a wireless version of the 363d's.....I guess I will keep looking.
using the Audio Technica ATH-AD500X, but rarely vs my 7.1 speakers
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.
Are these plug n play, like in a work PC, or do they need software install?
You were thinking you had the Glorious Model O. Who needs anything else?!?!?!
oh shoot, I'm getting those audio distortions too, i thought i was alone
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.
I always use HyperX Cloud Flight when I need a wireless one, for the wired one I will stay with my HD58X :D
Hi, can these be plugged to aux also ? Or can you recommend a nice headphones wireless, bluetooth, with dongle bluetooth also, aux and with the mute when lifting the microphone headset? Thanks,
Is there a compressor function for the actual headphone audio output?? Or is it only for the mic?
i need your help if the price would be the same (350) which would you recommend to buy - 670...or 600 with gsx 1000 combo????
Is that a Mod Mic mount on the side of your Hyper X cloud Flight?
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.....
at this price point, some other premium headphones like the Sony WH1000XM3 or the Bose Noise Cancelling 700 wouldn't be better? I would like to see a comparison of those two categories (gaming vs premium noise cancelling headphones) +HardwareCanucks
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.
do you have any tips for equalizing this thing because i have problems with the shooting sounds
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?
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).
i wish they would make a wireless headset where the mic quality isn't compressed. something like a wireless game one
I have a blue yeti and I need a new headset to go with it I will definently buy this for the headset
How would you compare them to hd650 in terms of soundstage?
I’ve been usin g the hd660s.... how do these compare in audio for gaming compared to the 660s?
which is better between this GSP 670,,audeze MOBIUS & audio technica ATH G1WL??
I wanted to preorder these but didn't send to my country. Now that we know how bad the mic quality is, I'm gonna wait for these to become more common and a better mic hopefully
Price!!! Sick 😝 I Will stick with my Sennheiser RS170 and wired micro 😜
I see the Sennheiser GSX 1000 in the software. Can this headset be used with the GSX 1000?
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.😪
