Max Comfort CONFIRMED! Sennheiser GSP 600 Review
The Sennheiser GSP 600 gaming headset isn't inexpensive but after this review, it is obviously one of the BEST we've seen in a long time. Its unique design may not be for everyone but it is built for comfort, microphone quality is amazing and the sound signature is just right.

That levitating shot worked brilliantly!! You guys never fail to impress!
The filming skills.
Mic tests 6:51 GSP600 7:19 G4ME ONE
Videos are getting better and better! Nice intro
Purchased these a year and a half ago and I do not foresee myself upgrading for audio reasons anytime soon. This is the most comfortable headset/headphone I have ever used and have not once had any complaint about the fit, feel, comfort, weight, or anything. Have worn them all day gaming on a sick day and never once experience ear soreness or any sort of fatigue. Mine did not have a velvet liner, just the pleather cups but they are so soft and have held up well over the course of my time with them. The audio quality is beautiful. The only thing I want to upgrade is the mic. I will one day get a boom mic and just not use the one on the headset itself. I would highly recommend these, especially if you can find them on sale.
do the comparison with game zero and gsp 600
Watched your review a year ago and got GSX 1000 with Game One, really the best combo as you recommended man👍
Just ordered a pair! Super excited!
Thanks for the nice review. I know from previous reviews, that You have the GSX-1000 from Sennheiser. Given that You state that it is a bit annoying that You can't hear your own voice, I was wondering why You hadn't tested the GSP-600 on the GSX-1000!? Anyways... I think I'll make do with my 350 SE's and G1's for now. All good to ya'll! The Zum of Dim
I bought these after seeing you having seen them at CES 2018. I live in Germany so I was able to pick them up in a Sennheiser store in January. Staff were very friendly and let me try them out and compare the GSP 600 with the other gaming headsets they had on display. I do not regret the purchase at all, would recommend them for sure.
you guys are masters of videos, that floating shot was incredible
A+ production from you guys as always.
Sennheiser is easily one of the top tier brands when it comes to headphones as a whole. I'm so glad they made such a great gaming headset. Definitely going to invest into one of these in the future, probably; unless something better turns up before then.
amazing opening shot
Agreed :) -D.
Amazing production value.
Thanks for this video comparison between the GSP 600 and the Game One headphones that i asked from your CES video. :) Will be buying the GSP 600 and keep my Game One as the secondary pair too.
TY for the nice review! Just ordered my GSP 600
How is it?
6:50 mic test
Thx mate
thanks!
I been rocking these since Europe release and they have been awesome ever since.......but my one small tiny issues is why doesn't the integrated volume control have a indicator like a little line to showcase where the volume is set at. Game One and Zero have a little circle on the volume wheel showing where the volume is left at but GSP 300 and 600 don't :P
Finally a review, thx 👍 Want to buy it ASAP
Thanks man been looking for new headset, this seems like a worthy addition.
Holy hell that intro!
What has the best sound imaging that's really one of my main things I care about
Your filming skills have greatly inspired me
Nice review and I almost agree 100% with your review. I just got mine yesterday so I haven’t had much time to test it out but I did play a little Division on the PC with it. First, the quality is just what he said. Although I hope I don’t drop it and drag it with my chair. It’s also heavy and I do miss the notches on the band to make each side even. Ear cups are amazing even while wearing glasses. I find that these are more comfortable than my other Sennheisers but every head is different so that’s to be expected. I do feel like I am eating the mic because it’s shorter than most mics. Lastly, I have them running on my Sennheiser GSX 1000 amp and it’s a great set up to have. Later.
so you succeed hiding the string.. great video 👏
+Kyezie131 He's talking about the string that makes that floating look in the intro
Almost
"Almost" yep LOL seen it tide around it also...
Its not hard.. Just simple masking..
There was no string
Would be great to get your impressions of these attached to the Sennheiser GSX 1000 amp.
Just got these for christmas and loving them
all three of them?
Nice review, helped me a lot. Thx Chris Pratt
You guys seem to always out do your last video, keep it up.
Thanks for highlighting me, I respect you guys
And what are the best windows or Realtalk HD settings for it ?
i have game one its been awesome for years
Great !!Finally Reviewed Gr8 work Dmitry
Love the way the headset "fly" pretty cool
How did he do that ?
Antoine C A see trough string
I love my intros and that was pure fire!!
hehe :) Have you done elevation stuff before?
HardwareCanucks Once before with a loaned GTX 1080 from ASUS haha.
Thank you for the review, Dimitri. I agree with you if we (the gamer) can't hear our self-talking to the other side. Even though it is tempting to get this headset, I think I would prefer to get the open back version of this instead, only if it matches or improved version in the future, and last but not least, of course, I would be waiting for you to review it as well. (Fingers cross, hopefully, no negative feedback or build on the future version, still your honest review would be appreciated, Dimitri).
I love the comparisons, I have a GSP 350 and im upgrading to GSp 600 this week :D
Review the Philips SHP9500, only $70 but competes with $200 plus headphones
I think the Headset will work great with the Sennheiser GSX 1200 Amp
I see what you did there with the string and the window light 😉. It would have been perfect if you had attached the string to the portion in the middle of the headset, so I could really not see it. Great idea! Love it
The floating shots were awesome
i think i like the gaming one mic more than gsp 600.
Bruno Brunckhorst yep. The 600 has way too much noise cancellation
Bruno Brunckhorst yeah. although they were louder, which is good, it sounds more nasal. plus a heavy headset would still put some strain on your neck/ears.
Was about to say the same! The gaming one sounds much more natural.
Most wireless headsets that I have seen don't have microphones as good as wired
Agreed 300 sounds more hollow, the 600 sounds nasaly/ slightly tinny. The gaming one is not as loud but has a better balance and slightly higher bass, definitely more pleasant to listen to. Something else just occurred to me I wonder if he used the same speakers to listen to all of the mics or if he listened through the same headset that he recorded on. The difference in the speakers could have compensated for the difference in mics in hard to predict ways.
grate editing
*Great!
Grate
@Electro I agree
Yep
Love your videos great Insight thanks! Definitely a buy I will make soon.
Great floating effect !
just bought both the Sennheiser GSP 600 and the Sennheiser GSX 1000, based on your reviews . and Damn these sound great... i had the game zero before, but i thought that the base was kind of low, but with the gsp600 the base is spot on ( set to music mode on the gsx 1000).... love this setup.. rather expensive for both the gsp 600 and the gsx 1000, but really think it is worth the money... BR Kenneth From Denmark.
thanks for the info i'm running game zero to. seems like i have a clear upgrade path if these ever break Haha
Game zero +Soundblaster omni for 240euro VS GSP600 for 200euro. Help??
@@hamzaeIalaoui you sure you dont want g6x 7.1 ? I say combine that with gp 600
King Leonidas thanks for the comment bro. But the sb g6 is like 150€where i live.. Tell me how do u like ur game zeros and r they worth it for 160euros.. and are they worth getting an amp! Ty!
Thinking about grabbing these for my Xbox one X.
Beretta Ubetcha i just got them hopefully they are good.
@@CHICAGOKID-773 I've had mine for just over a month-love 'em
my experience with sennheiser is very good, i use my hd439 for about 3 years daily for gaming, listening and playing music and sometimes even for working out and they still look like new
if a headset doesn't have a review here, i take off my list! such a great channel, thank you guys.
"Accidentally" he says...
The question is if I already own the game one should I get the gsp 600?
i upgraded from game one and im superhappy with the new gsp600. quality all the way and fits perfect. go to a store and try it!
Recommend you wait for the release of the GSP 500. Very similar to the GSP 600 but is open back like the game ones. They release im may and are available for preorders now.
Great video. Would love to see a video on Audio Technica gaming headsets!
Thank you for another one of your awesome videos!
When you hire a Jedi to get cool shots
I was doing this Solo... with Han Solo :0 I'll let myself out. -D.
You dumb dumb! Han Solo doesn't even use the force; your joke is terrible on more than 1 level XD
GSP 600 + GSX 1000 = Godlike
GSX 1200 ;)
@@StylicAU GSX 1200, very cool to connect two headsets or an entire Esports team xD.
I like my gsp 600 but I would like to pull up the volume a little bit more
I got the Sennheiser Game One and have been having that for 3 years now or so. I've been looking forward to sennheiser topping this headset as it seemed perfect to me and I didnt know what they would do to top it. I dont mind the design but I dont think it's worth the upgrade as I too like open style headsets and in the mix test I prefered the Game One. That being said I love how the mixed the materials, cloth that touches your skin while the rest is leather. Simple yet genius.
gps300 mic sounded way better imo. yes it was a bit quieter, but it was WAY less naisely compared to either of the 2 other ones(which were exactly the same).
Yeah i think he turned something down cuz not even my gps300 is that low. Im loud and clear in games.
The game ones sounded less naisely than the gsp600 and picked up less of the mechanical keyboard
LMAO. Milk went everywhere when you showed how big they really got 😹 look at them! How big they are ! Hahahaha for a giant man
For the floating string, the part that is against the headset can be sharpied black to really make it invisible:)
Hi, I've purchased a GSP 300 because of one of your reviews, I'm very satisfyed with it. I'm sure this one must be amazing, but it must come very expensive in Brasil. Keep up the good work!
These vs Game ones? What sounds better for pro competitive. I want to hear someone reloading around the corner
Both deliver enough power to hear anything around the corner. I personally prefer the Game One (open back) for microphone reasons but the isolation on the GSP 600 is much better. If you want no distractions, GSP is a clear choice. -D.
mod mic
I want this with the 1200 pro amp
*VIDEO REPORTED FOR BEING TOO GOOD*
Mine are coming on Tuesday 👍🏻😌
Great video, and thank you. One thing though that I wish you would have touched on is the volume. I've owned the GSP 300's, and with those, they seemed to get just loud enough on the PS4, but could have used a bump in the volume. Can you please let me know if these get any louder than the GSP 300's, or are they the same? Thanks for your help.
My new GSP600 arrived yesterday. I got to use them for a couple hours right after work playing Overwatch on my high end gaming PC. I am super happy with them! They sound amazing. I was able to notice some subtle strings in one of the music tracks during one of the waiting screens. NICE! It fits my big head. They feel very study. Previously I had been using either my Senheiser HDPRO 280, or Sony Gold Headset (PS4) on my PC for gaming. With the 280's, I either would not use voice chat, or I would dangle another USB headset with mic unit around my neck. Last month I did get the Game Zero, and used it for maybe a hour. Those sounded very good too. But felt a lot less sturdy than the 280, or the GSP 600. I returned them and pre ordered the GSP600 for the stats on paper are a little better. Are my ears able to really hear the difference between the two? Good question. :)
Did you build the pc or did you buy it from somewhere
I got mine from CyberpowerPC in 2014. I picked a particular model, and then configured it to suit my needs. There website makes it easy to tinker with your choices to see what works together and what it would cost. I got my monitor from Newegg. Later I added another SSD and upgraded the video card from elsewhere on the internet. I'm happy with them and plan to buy my next gaming rig from them at some point in the future. Though, you could build your own for less. If you know what you are doing.
Volt Ron Sound quality opinion between the GSP 600 And the game zero please lol
The game one mic sounded much better and less robotic
Still rocking theese, still very satisfyed with the sound, íncluding the soundstage and they are pretty comfy for me :)
How is the noise isolation ? Is it too much or ok ? I had the blackshark v2 pro's from razer and their noise isolation was too much for me, i could barely hear what im speaking and if its quiet around me I could hear every beat of my heart in my ear...
@@Synthesisz It will probably be more than those. But im quite used to it. You should go for some open backs if that is a concern. The sound from these are however much better than razers headsets.
whaaaat? mood lighting in the intro,but still a dimitri video?
You keep using the word "density," I don't think it means what you think it means... "Resistance" is a better choice of word
ha true. I guess resistance is a better way to describe it.
Maybe he is relating it to viscosity haha
gsp300 mic sounds great imo ;)
Nice work, keep it up. But I have one question, how big are the earpads-inside hole ( depth, width, height )? Thanks.
Was waiting on this review
Is it just me or does the game one sound better?
the game one sounds better than basically any headset on the market.
Sounded clearly better to me, too.
I have both of them on me currently and the Game One sounds better, though I think I might've been sent a broken GSP 600 set...
It does sound better, yes.
I think it's because the gsp 600 was louder and made the "popping" clearer, by popping I mean the sound that pop filters help filter out
Dimitri really reminds me of Chris Pratt. Very noice.
I've had my Game Ones for over 6 years now. They are starting to show its age... Had to replace the cable a couple of times too.
That intro
This are by far the most UNCOMFORTABLE headset I've worn. I disagree with every point you make about the comfort. The design causes it to only sit on the very top of your head in the center where the padding is at it's least. That is a lot of weight for one point and begins to actually hurt after a good few hours. Also they do pinch from clamping force (Sliders don't do anything to help) but can be stretched out. Also the sound is nice and boomy but the imaging is no good. By the Game Zeroes or the HyperX cloud 2/core. The nice things about this are the mic function and the cusions are nice, but I think they cause it to have high bass which doesn't help with hearing footsteps.
They sit good on my head, but the fabric of the earpads tears up easily...
Do you find any earpads that improve comfort?
@@toretoshark They put all the weight on one spot and are very heavy.
Starts talking about sound 8:01
Thanks chief
Nice bought the hd6xx and sennheiser comes out with this
Great videos man..!!!
GSP 600 + GSX 1200 = best gaming audio experience
Matteo Kropej udoes GSX 1200 give me surround sound on ps4???
Nah. 598 SE + GSX 1000 + mod mic 5.
HD 800 + mod mic 5 + gsx 1200
it only supports windows and mac
Matteo Kropej how can you recommend the gsx 1200 over the gsx 1000. It costs more but is directly advertised and made for pro player use or lan use. When many of them can be connected together for communication reasons. There is no point at all at buying it over the regular gsx 1000 since most people will use it solo and not with their friends and do not play in the pro league it would be a waste even. You also recommend the HD800 wich you might be joking since the hd800 has an impedens of 300 ohm and the gsx gaming amp/DAC has a max ohm support of 150 ohm and the lowest of 35 ohm. But they tried with 15 ohm headphones and It works perfectly with that also so they might have changed the description. And the hd800 solo beats these headphones + gsx easily since the hd800 positioning and Soundstage is vastly superior the closed back gsp 600. If you want real audiophile Quality with gaming features then you can buy the AKG7XX + modmic + gsx 1000. Wich is cheaper and better. And a better match with the AKG7XX impedens of 62 ohms. And yes I am extremely fun at parties.
just bought GSP 300
great choice!
Great review. The point about not being able to hear yourself when you talk through the mic is a huge one and glad you brought it up. I'll stick to my 10 year old HD650s and separate mic I think.
gsp 600 has lots of highs and almost no bass due to the fact footsteps in gaming are in highs. Basically , this headset has innate the ability of soundblaster g6 scout mode which does exactly that. Do you think your audiophile headphone can compete that? I think not.
Sennheiser for life. Bought a 558 and they're the best ive ever bought. Definitely buying the 600.
*HyperX Cloud II vs this headset?*
Please don't compare 100$ headset vs 250$ ... If u have great soundcard or good dac/amp of course this will be much better ( HyperX C II is on USB / Senn is on 3.5 jack ), but is it worth 150$ more? If u have money probably yes, but if u don't want spend more money or you don't play games like CS:GO on high level then go with HyperX C II.
I would rather go with a condensor mic with a boomarm + a high quality headphone such as the beyerdynamic 770 pro or the 990 pro. You will get 100 times better mic quality and sound.
Hyper X cloud 2 handsdown , even if you don't want to use the usb if for ex you have a good soundcard you can always buy a audio adapter ' 1 x stero jack female > 2 x Stero jack male ' and it will cost you between 5 -10$ on amazon. The hyper X cloud 2 has proven to be one of the best qulity/price headset on the market and it's pretty sturdy with a good quality sound, the only bad thing on this is that the cable is not detachable and is not very long. 250$ for a headset is a bit overpricy in my opinion but if you have the money wait for a couple of unsponsered reviews by people who actually bought this product with their own money. good luck in your research
Revolver S or Gsp 600??
Bob McCoy because comparing 59 $ headset to a 249 $ one is totally fair...
this headset looks weird, despite from its capability or how it performs
Look at the open back studio headphones they are the same, and a lot expensive than this
Great to see Sennheiser creating new products and moving forward. However I do not hope this is the end of the original Game-series - The Game One is simply just perfect.
ITS FINALLY HERE
You look like stsr lord From Guardians oc the Galaxy Like if you agree
omg...I'd rather buy beyerdynamic 990 pro plus external mic and get drunk for the rest 100 bucks instead of paying 250$ for this headset...damn... my bicycle cost less
hollyballs this is more convenient
welRUS334 Adding a ModMic to any pair of headphones you already have is by far the best you can do. It's not difficult at all and you can just pop the mic off if you want to listen to music.
WelRUS334 I'd say convenience is having very rich relatives for example :) and I agree with Philitron128's answer ...modular approach is better. The product is overpriced and you are paying extra for the brand.
Anthony C "good" headphones are subjective. You can buy an awesome pair for $100 or even less on sale. As for the ModMic wtf? There a choice of length and a sleeve that comes with it, there nothing awkward about that.
I have the dt990 with the coiled cable. And an older modmic...wouldnt trade it for a shit gaming headset tough
Dude that shot looked so cool
I bought this headset with the GSX 1000 can't wait to try it out.
Once you go Open back...you can't go back. Pass
GSP 500 open back will be coming soon.
When exactly?
I can't say.. I tweeted them and they said sooner rather than later... but I can't say for sure... they do exist though.
Release is in May, can preorder now!
Not anywhere I can see, I"m hearing pre-orders should open up by Wed in NA.
Love you Sennheiser but that is, by far, the ugliest headset I have ever seen.
funny because to me they look better than the 300
😂That totally depends on taste,and if you like bulky/tekky macho or smooth sleek and maybe feminim designs.Wich is pretty common for a good deal of "men" in the west (sadly) these days.I reckon you are a girl when I see your tag pic..then you r excused,and I see your point🤠🐗✌🏼
King Zalut I don’t get what this has to do with gender they look ugly because they have an edgy gamer design which most people don’t like
Great review ! Is the soundstage better than on the HD 800?
I just got these Flawless no regret FREAKING AMAZING
Nice
The ugliest Sennheiser headphones yet.
