GPS600 after 11 months of use.
It is not reasonable that a product of this price suffers this. The two pads at the same time.
I'm waiting for support from Sennheiser Spain.
I have a Logitech g633 and after 2 years, they are perfect. You do not notice the use.

I use the GSP 500's for everything now. I love them, great for FPS gaming in general. As far as the GSX 1000 goes. I would pass it up. I dropped some cash on one not too long ago and it is trash. Low quality garbage. The surround effects are not any better than anything else out. I would suggest getting something like the Sound BlasterX G6. Much better sound quality as it has a pretty decent dac and of course the surround effects are on par with every other emulated surround feature on the market. Another note on tat GSX, I had to run my GSX with a Schitt Magni external AMP just to get adequate volume with the GSP 500 and the actual sound quality is no better than on-board garbage. Good luck whichever way you go. The GSP's are awesome though.

Thank you for your kind words in regards to the GSP 500, very glad you enjoyed them! Sorry to hear the GSX didn't work out for you though... you're welcome to contact support, but if you've moved on already, thanks for giving it a try!

Hi Volly, thanks for your interest in the GSP headsets and the GSX 1000!
The GSX 1000 (and 1200) was designed with the requirements of the GSP and Game series headsets in mind, and will have adequate power to drive them at safe and loud volumes. There are no drivers to install for the GSX 1000, but it does show up in Windows as two devices, one for communications and one for "speakers" (headphones or speaker out). We have had customers in the past have Windows select the communications channel for all the audio output, which was optimized for voice and limits the quality and volume of full-range output. If you run into any issues or need some assistance with setup, contact our support team here:

We worked hard to create a surround DSP that can convincingly sound "out of your head" when fed 7.1 surround from a game, and we hope you have a great experience!

Thanks for this @Sennheiser, all this is good info! Good thread here, a good amount of feedback from actual users, thank you to all!

With the amount of DAC/Amp's I've acquired, it wouldn't for me to gain another in the form of the GSX as I can hook up my headset/Mic directly to the box on the desk without much clutter! Saying this, your new GSP 670 looks to be a very interesting product!

Again, thank you all!

Hey, no prob! I'm sorry it didn't work out either.

And by the way, Sennheiser support is awesome. The most hassle free quick and easy RMA I've ever had to deal with. RMA'd one of my GSP 500 a while back for volume knob issues, (first time ever having to use Sennheiser support and I've owned Sennheiser headphones for many years), and damn the turnaround was impressive. I've been custom building PCs and dealing with support from every other hardware company out there since the mid 90's and not once have I experienced such a painless RMA. Kudos to Sennheiser Support for that.

Understandable, currently we don't offer the surround DSP that is in the GSX as a stand-alone product, but we understand if you feel your needs are being met already. And thanks for pointing out our newest gaming product, the GSP 670... we're pretty excited about that, it allows surround-processed-into-binaural-stereo to be transmitted over wireless radio frequencies, with a quality and low latency beyond what is currently possible with Bluetooth. We had to get clever around that one! Thanks again for your kind words.

Thanks for sharing! We're pretty proud of our support teams, but it's always good to hear a reminder. Now, hopefully things went just as smoothly for fpollan.

I really enjoy these headphones and after 2.5 years of use made a video on them for my YT channel, focused mostly on the experience of using them and also changing the ear-cups. Combined with the Soundblaster X7, the listening experience is great.

I see you found it.
