I bought these used for 60$ used completely worth it because I’ll really only be using with the steam deck on flights where closed back is needed. I have the open back ones already and much prefer the sound stage on those. If you want zero outside noise and only hear the game. The closed back hands down are the ones for you. Less sound bleed on the closed back, so if you are gaming in a room while someone is watching a movie these don’t bleed sound as much as the open back. Open back: wide sound stage less bass Closed back: narrow soundstage more bass. These things sound identical to my closed back GSP but way more comfortable. The bass is noticeably crisper and less muddy, still has that “scoop” sound profile that all sennheiser/epos closed back headsets have. Mine had no rattling. Been trying a plethora of DAC’s and the GSX1000 adds the icing on the sound profile like I expected too. But other dacs such as the x4 do a good job as well. Little fat down low but the clarity is still there. They do sound great plugged into standard jack ports on my pc. You will experience bad sound quality if your device can’t drive these headphones. 280ohm impedance so keep that in mind when buying. Among the game series, GSP series, and the h6 series. These are the most comfortable of the 3. I like the open back better, the gsx dac really bumps the bass and makes the soundstage wide. Hearing distant skirmishes and artillery really feel distant with the open. You get a similar experience with the closed back but the difference is enough for me to chose the open back as my preferred headset. Read more

Great sound for gaming. Been using these for almost 2 years now, on an Xbox Series X. The build quality is honestly great, not only for the price but just in general. The mic is okay, not amazing, but is fairly clear. The pads are spacious and headband is comfortable. The 2 included cables add nice versatility - use with a console or a PC. Read more

Awesome, awesome headphones Pretty much all you need!! Read more

audio quality is very very good its easy to drive so if you have a somewhat decent motherboard you wont need anything except the inbuilt 3.5 mm jacks. comfort is amazing i don't think ive ever had such comfortable headphones. i have a fairly big head and big ears and they fit very very well the earcups are kind of genius cloth on the skin pleather on the outside its very comfortable. only caviat to comfort is the headband i have a very elongated head front to back (long oval motorcycle helmet headshape) this problem will more than likely be unique to me but the actual contact patch is small so for the first couple days after hours(4-7) of use it became uncomfortable however after a week or so the foam softened up and the discomfort completely dissipated now they are the most comfortable headphones ive ever worn. if you have a normal headshape unlike me i doubt you will even notice it. the volume knob on the outside is annoying as it will likely move when you take off and on the headphones so i ended up putting it on a amount i liked and taping it in place.(extra info on the sound isolation if you have tinnitus or similar problems ) i have tinnitus in both my ears worse on my left and if you do and you are used to using normal headphones or even open backs these may get annoying because the sound isolation is so good its kinda like wearing earplugs and you don't need to put volume nearly as loud meaning my tinnitus can be really intrusive while wearing these i eventually got used to it but it can still get on my nerves when listening to music if you have tinnitus and you decide to buy these DO NOT use volume to drown it out! try to get used to it or return them for the open back version or something else Read more

Got these for my gf and I have to say the positional audio for footsteps and such for Fortnite is amazing also really good for audio in the finals would recommend for anyone looking for a cozy pair that has nice sound for both games and music Read more

I think the audio quality on this headset is pretty good, but it didn't wow me and that's why I'm returning it. It's also quite uncomfortable, a fact I can probably attribute to the closed back nature of these headphones - they isolate your ears a tad too much, it kind of feels like you're on a plane and your ears feel hot an hour into having them on your head, not to mention the weird pressure on the top of your head because the headband doesn't have enough padding. TL;DR I don't think the closed back is worth the money, I would definitely try the open back before completely writing these off though because the sound quality is pretty good especially for gaming.

I play on the PS5. The last pair I had was the Logitech G Pro X which I was very happy with and used for more than 2 years. I decided it was time for an upgrade and scoured the net for the best headphones I could buy for the PS5. My priority was sound quality, mic quality, and max volume. After some research, I decided to buy the Steelseries 7+ Wireless and was really disappointed. The sound was tinny, and the max volume was too low. I returned them after I tried everything I could to make the sound better or louder but nothing worked. Then I bought these. My first pair of high-end gaming headphones. These are absolutely amazing and I love them. Firstly, they are so comfortable. I have a big head and big ears and these fit perfectly and my ears don't touch anything on the inside. By far the most comfortable headphone earpads I've ever experienced. Secondly, they sound amazing and the max volume is loud enough that I have to lower the volume slightly from the PS5 and the headphone control. I play single-player story games as well as FPS multiplayer games and they're perfect for both. Footsteps are clear and sound direction is easy to figure out, and the music, sounds, and atmosphere in story games sound incredible with these. Finally, the mic is really good as well. It's very clear and background noise is kept to a minimum. I would suggest buying pop filters and putting one on the microphone as it doesn't come with any. Also, for some reason, the mic is too loud even when I've turned the mic sensitivity on the PS5 to literally zero. The mic is still louder than average on the lowest setting which isn't the biggest issue but is kinda annoying for me. Also doesn't come with a bag/cover/case of any sort, which was the biggest disappointment for me with the headphones. These aren't the biggest issues and don't detract from the headphones, but they are something to consider for some of the people out there. Tl;dr, If you're in the market for a really good pair of high-end gaming headphones, these are well-built, sound amazing, super comfortable and come with a good mic. I would highly recommend these.
