I feel so violated Jay... So violated that you would copy me and rip off my bit like this? How could you :D #GreatVideoAsAlways
yeah Jay how could you :-D
He digresses, so its cool.
You guys should start Techtalk off tonight wearing ALL of your headphones lol
Sue him Sue his ass!
Don't get mad, you're just upset his name is Jay. I can now call you Jaylous. *Facepalm
Thanks for telling me about the resistance. That's really important.
The shape of the cups is purposeful! They come out of the box with a thinner top. It helps with the seal!
I had these for roughly 2 months. They were absolutely great for games but I found that I didn't like the close back as much as I thought I would. I switched over to DT 990 Premium 250 Ohm + ModMic 4.0 and couldn't be happier.
Great review. I kinda wanna try these now.
Just ordered these headphones from Amazon yesterday. Waiting for them to arrive. Thank you for this review. I work from home and I'm tired of cheapies that that fall apart or don't work after just a few months.
Awesome review! You've explained everything one would need to know before buying them. Thanks.
Good of you to mention the impedance. Checked my mobo specs and it looks like i'm good to buy these!
Still loving mine!!
I ended up getting these in white. AMAZING. Best set Ive owned and Ive gone through a few. VERY comfortable too. I forget Im wearing them. The sound is clear and strong too. As for the foam squished at top than bottom they actually come like that new. They have 3 layers with the last layer being thicker at the bottom to help seal it against your jaw/cheek.
What are you using to drive them? I am thinking of getting a Sound Blaster Recon3D
A Sound Blaster Z
I am kind of unsure if I should get it, I am currently using a Plantronics Gamecom 780 which is about $80 but the usb connector has been failing me recently. Do you think its going to be worthy getting the G4ME Zero + the Sound Blaster Z?
Mateus Coninck For me it was worth it. My old sound card was dropping sound and causing my pc to reboot. And my old headset was pure junk..Logitech G930. So these were a great update to that hardware and worth it to me.
Thanks for the video ! I quite enjoyed it !
Great video. I'd love to see you do a series of flagship mid/high end headphone reviews. It really helps me understand audio quality better when you compare to other cans, rather than just saying "the bass is great" (not that you did that this video). Anyways great content from your channel lately, props.
bought these around the time of the review and the headphones still sound perfect
After all these years????
@@baker8002 yep still to this day the ear muffs are a bit roughed up other than tha5 still sound great
@@covalite8084 damn nice to know they are so good ,thx for the reply btw
@@covalite8084 do you think these cans are still good for USD200 today? Kinda deciding on these vs the H3/h6 epos cans.
@@cholomiranda1418 they are great tho not for 200 I'd pay 150 for them nowadays. Mine are starting to bite the dust finally so I'm in the market right too.
Cheers, I purchased these after watching this video and they are great. 100% satisfied, great sound, excellent build quality with a top notch mic. Thank you.
It may be "just a headphone review" but this is one of my favorite videos that you've done. Great mix of informative and funny, with just a sprinkling of weird. Perfection achieved.
The mic quality is amazing to be honest. Wow. I might get this since my HyperX cloud core is wearing away.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD380 and the headphone is still running strong in terms of audio quality. But that memory foam disintegrated 3 years after purchase. The first thing that happened was I started noticing little black flakes. Plus sweat from using it probably helped speed up the degenerative process further. Still, in terms of functionality, my old HD380 outlasted all my other headphones.

Jay, try a Fiio Eo6 amp, for traveling.. It's tiny, cheap, and can get up to 300 ohms cans going strong! It's excellent!
This video is gold!
ty for this AWESOME video
Nice Doc Brown moment at the end :)
During the years I've owned a lot of headsets and still in 2020 these have been my absolute favorites not just because of the sound but also comfort. Absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the hinge broke after several years and after accidently sat down on them by accident numerous of times. Now just ordered GSP 600 so hope they don't disapoiny ^_^ (don't think they will)
still use them in 2023, when they brake il buy a new pair. Had to replace the earpads twice and the cable once though. As good as new 7 years later
0:47 jay assimilated with the BORG
+jayztwocents you mentioned that these are 150 ohm drivers. on Sennheisers site they're stated as being 50 ohms. there's a lot of reviews where this mistake has been made. just thought I'd point that out... great job! you hit some points others didn't hit on...
they released at 150. they have been changed. obviously this is either a very early or pre release review
+Seth Rockwell agreed! I got a pair about 3 weeks ago off of eBay and mine are 150 ohms. What's crazy is even after seeing that there were 50 ohm ones, I still ended up with 150 ohm ones. No matter, they are fantastic and sound awesome. I'm waiting on my Fiio and Mixamp Pro to be delivered Thursday and Friday. Then I'll really see what these things can do! But right now, they sound decent from the PS4's controller, and even better on my Acer. But I got em for console gaming and not for pc gaming...
Hi Jay. Put the wire over your shoulder and then you can look left/right. Works for me, at least with an extension cable :)
I think you want louder highs and mids for gaming just for footsteps and other things like that. I get what you mean for the music but just thought I would put that out there
I'd love to see you try the G4ME ONE if possible. I have the G4ME ZERO and I'm actually sending them back to pick up the ONE. I really feel like the hinges on these are a huge weak point, and the ONE doesn't fold down like these do. Also, I've always been more of an open headphone kind of guy.
If you take the mic further down it's rly good
Nice review man, great! What do you think about the audio technica ATH-ADG1 compared to these? Great job!
nice review
Great video
The "gripe" is standard - Its like that from the factory to make sure that they are tight to your head - I Really enjoy tour channel
You can try to drape the cord/ cable over the back of your shoulder. Exceptional review, by the way. Subscribed.
Another great review
11:08 Canon T2i? that's cool, The video quality looks pretty good.
I have the G4ME ONE Sennheiser headset and I can tell you it's the best headset/headphones I have ever used. The openback design is a massive advantage over the zero having a better soundstage made the difference. Although these block out most noise, I still think the one has no problems with hearing sound from an external source. Anyways I can recommend the G4ME ONE and you are definitely getting your money's worth out of them.
I just wanted to say that the memory foam pad are designed thiner at the top. It's deliberate. Watch the Sennheiser promo vid.
Oh god, that intro, i literally cried from laughing!
@JayzTwoCents Did they make improvements, cause you said 150 ohm, but on newegg they are listed at 50 ohm....
What kind of DAC would you recommend for these?
I like these because they are sort of portable gaming headphone, can you recommend ones that are portable with mic for travel and home?
You said the impedance is 150 ohms, but the manufacturer website says 50 ohms.
+YWZMatt So you get more out of it from using it with your phone etc now? dont need an amp at all to get most out of it?
+Detrimentation Why would normal 3.5mm jack headphones require a firmware update. It isn't like they are usb.
50 ohm new ones (GAME ZERO), 150 ohm old ones (G4ME ZERO).
i'm not sure if this was mentioned, but the cups are actually cut thinner on top than bottom. i know because i bought replacement cups recently. it can also be seen in cup replacement videos.
where did you order the replacements from? I cant seem to find the specific game zero pads for sale
The ear pads *have* that shape. For a good reason.
cool headphones
Hey Jay, Chris here uk based, you recentlry asked in a video what your viewers would like from future videos and for me honestly more of this personal one on one interaction with products that benfeit us as gamers, I understand this is a wide range of products to go at keyboards mice headphones etc but these things are the bread and butter to what we have built all in ade of you and your uploads and they really dont have to be GAMING perifs I use a DAC and sennheiser HD 595 headphonrs with my set up but I digress, please do more imformative test videos on perifs. hope you get to read this all love man
the cushions were meant to have different height (said by sennheiser). every other reviews have the same feature. it is not because of you. great review btw
sounds like the mic clips a little other then that sounds like an amazing headset though
hi JayzTwoCents, how would you compare these to the Kingston hybrid cloud II ?These look awesome but the mammoth price is too much for me haha
I want to know the same thing, anyone?
What did you end up buying johan burger?
Sennheiser HD 598, brilliant sound. I have to re listen to every song I've ever heard
Audio technica ath m50x review? Maybe?
Thanks for your video- which would you most recommend for gaming- these, the game One or another headset (either one combined with the Sennheiser GSX 1000 amp in 7.1 surround)? thanks for anyone's feedback
Hello Jay, I've owned this headset for a long time now and unfortunately the seal on them has gotten quite loose, and thus the sound quality has gotten much worse. I have to literally push on them to hear what they really should sound like. Do you have any tips on how to make the seal tighter again? Maybe not for this specific model, but for any headphones in general? Thank you for your time!
Could you please review the Sennheiser PC 373D? :)
you are so funny, smart and fucking awesome. Keep it up.
incredible, fucking ancient (in nowadays terms) microphone headset sounds better than the actual nowadays ones...
How can you use a headphone amp, and also keep the microphone functionality? I have these headphones and would love to get that capability.
I like it.
Hi jayz,do you think these headphones will be a good combo with mobo gigabyte z97x gaming 5 with creative sb x fi mb3 sound card ?
Do i need an amp if i have this motherboard : gigabyte z97x gaming g1 wifi black edition. And if i don't does it effect my audio quality by running it through my Razer blackwidow Chroma?
How do you make your mic sound so good?
Specs wise these look like rebadged PC 350 SE's ?. The poping you got with the mic test i've had also and fixed it with a small foam mic sock.
I prefer "fiddling" with the "knob" on my Astro A40's.
Hi! Will it work well and have the "oomph" with the msi gaming motherboards? They have integrated 600Ω Headphone amplifiers.
Since this is gaming headset, it would've have been nice to see how good it is while gaming.
i had the same problem with my hd558's which are 50 ohm headphones they only cut it with my creative zx
So I'm having some issues. I just recently bought the mayflower o2/ODAC and I heard you say you hooked up the game zeroes to them, so I assume you got the mic working as well. I have the SteelSeries Siberia Elites and unfortunately I can't get the mic to work. Idk what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just overlooking something. Can someone help me?
I like mine you can hear a needle drop from 250 meters away, and I think they are super light
Is the same pear of headphones in the Jery review!
BTW if you want semi 3D sound with these get the free software from Razer. Its not as good as a true 3D headset but there is a difference and it helps.
Did the impedance actually change to this point? On the german website it says 50 ohm. Was just curious because I'm thinking about buying them
Hey Jay, i got the same pair of headphones and my wire is starting to pull and tie itself up making its own knots. Is there any way to help prevent this or a new cable that would work better?
Would these be fine with a USB soundcard? From a previous headset in my case.
You know Sennheiser makes a 32 Ohm version of this headset, the G4me 360. I already have the PC350 and will wait for price drop before updating since there is no change in sound. I can say they are better sounding than mt Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80.
I'm not getting a seal around my ear. There's actually a pretty large gap toward the bottom which kills all the bass
how good are these for footsteps at a good range, i currently have a40s and theyre rubbish, had two pairs and had problems with both.
I'm not sure if you'd reply since it's been a long time since you uploaded your video, but I just got my Game Zero and without turning sound suppression on it has that loud background noise, may I ask if you turned sound suppression on or off in the video?
With the headphones over your eye...you reminded me of a Borg.
it seems like frequency of this mic in the headset is curved down around 12kHz, so it feels like Jay started lisping :D
haha, they are actually higher than that, but I think the noise cancellation of the fan on me caused some of the "s" sounds to go wacky.
***** yea, you probably right, but imo Logitech G930 has better mic and noise cancellation, it is my favorite headset so far. yeah, it is looks kinda wierd on my head, but sound is too good, to care about, how they are looks :D
Interesting, and what do you recommend for gaming + Bass + 7.1 surround under $100 ?
HyperX Cloud II ofc. ^Razer is shit.
hifis
so, what would be the difference between the open and closed versions?
I wear glasses so over ear headphones feels so much more comfortable
How is the surround on them with Razer Surround? Because like you said it works good, but is it like getting a 7.1 headset with it? like my g430s?
Hello, just wondering if any of you would be able to recommend a pair of thicker earpads for these headphones, the stock ones are not thick enough and my ears touch the drivers.
Any issues with using glasses with these? are they comfortable?
What did you say that you purchased to boost the sound to better the sou d quality??
pleeeease do the review of the headset soundblaster x h7, i dont know if buy g4me zero or the h7 thanks!
is the microphone replaceable should it break/stop working after time?
So would a Asus Xonar U7 7.1 Soundcard make these go alive?
0:36 are you talking about Logan of teksyndicate or Linus?
wow that intro is just... wow...
That intro was just stolen from barnacules but they are friends so it's allowed consider it a loaner.
Who is watching this in 2017?
I'm listening to this video with my Game One headset and I don't even know why
Worth it?
yes, they are good without an amp/good integrated sound card but exceptional with it
I am waiting for a new version... Sennheiser should realease something soon I hope xD
2018
Can you review the audio technical m50s
I have been looking like mad. How can I find the Ohms my board can support? I don't want to have to buy a Amp if I can help it.
Best headsets for csgo bf1 mic top quality for gaming. Love this headsets!
Does anyone know the difference between Classic and Special edition? I am not able to find anything about that.
Would my Astro mixamp work as an amplifier?
Any soundcard or something other then aplifier that costs more then headset that can work as well? :)
Did they change the ohm impedance cuz it says 50 on the website instead of 150
These sound marginally better than my $40 off brand headphones
Do these work on the PS4? If so is the surround sound supported on the PS4?
