Congrats! Now how are they?

I can only test them with music right now. They are not bass heavy, but show a very civilized bass out of the box. They are much brighter than expected, need to give them much more time. But I like what I hear. They do not sound closed anyhow. And the build quality is outstanding. The comfort is very good. Test them with Yello TOY right now.

Let's play Wildlands some time, Pietcux. Wenn'd willsch, denn I würd scho gern.

I play only the story mode single or in coop. I need a healthy respawn every now and then you know and at 57 I am not the fastest anymore. I will contact you tonight about it.

I also only play the campaign and I'm very chillig about as I enjoy the landscape, scenery and atmosphere. Not a competitive player since ages.

I wish Wildlands and UBI games in general had a better sound mix, like DICE games for instance or Sony exclusives.

Haven't been here in a while, but after spending nearly 2 years with the Skullcandy SLYR I'm starting to get that itch again. Is there anything in the current market with a similar sound signature but perhaps improved on the SLYR's shortcomings? I don't need a mic, but maybe something more comfortable (for a bigger head) or isolating (the pads are slightly too small to be circumaural) or portable/folding, or even wireless?

I really love these headphones and they were such a bargain at $24 used on amazon (came shrink wrapped with no accessories, just the headset). The mechanism that activates/deactivates the mic when you swing it up or down was also messed up.

In comparison my HD681's sound too bright and needs EQ for me to enjoy it as much as the SLYR. Furthermore, the Denon D2000 and Beyer DT-990 with my little Fiio E7 were a little too boring and probably needed a better amp but I didn't want to go down that route so I had to sell them.

Sennheiser GSP 600 short first summary:

• Comfort and fit

It is a comfortable headset but not for the largest heads. On most of my headphones I extend to notch 7 or 8. SONY Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. On this one I have to extend as far as possible and to reduce the clamp to the lowest position. Then the fit is medium tight and comfy. The earpads on the other hand fit my rather large earlobes perfectly. They are among the best I ever had.

• Sound with music

Not my cup of tea, these have good and deep but unpronounced bass, good probably slightly recessed mids and a very pronounced treble, that makes my ears ring. Probably a peak on the wrong frequency. Seems to get better with burn in though.

• Sound in games

Had only 15 minutes in Wildlands so far, sounded very good with the GSX1000. This needs to be further evaluated, need much more playtime.

• Final words

I am burning the GSP 600 in right now and enjoy the HD660S instead. If the treble doesn't get better, this can will be returned to Sennheiser. [/SIZE]

Thanks for your impressions!
Not too much pressure on top of the head with that kind of headband?

How do the GS600’s compare to the Game Ones or PC360’s...if you have any experience with those?

 

[lenroot77]

I’ve read a few places that the GSP600 is a direct replacement for the Game Zero. The big question for me is when will the open back Game One replacement be announced???

Agreed, where are the open back’s!


So do these have any relation to HD 650’s or something?

In the documents that come with the GSP 600, there is an open back GSP 500 mentioned, Hardware Canucks also show a box with GSP 500 written on in their CES video obout the GSP 600. Somewhere in the middle for a fraction of a second.

The comfort is very good, no pressure on the top of my head. As I said I have the headband fully extended and the pressure sliders on minimum. Especially the earpads are epic.

Yes I have the game one. The comfort is better, the bass is better and the treble are hotter. These closed backs have the same soundstage as the open backs game one.
