Review on EPOS I Sennheiser GAME ONE Open Gaming Headset: Unleash the Ultimate Gaming Experience! by Sean Sean ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

I have been using Game One headphones (+ Xonar Phoebus) for almost a year now and I have a double feeling that I was fucked, but they did it so professionally that I did not notice. To begin with, these are my 4th headphones from Sennheiser, except for vacuum plugs, namely monitor ones, I owned: HD 518, PC 350 GAME, HD 599. And here's the thing, I don't know which ones compare them, but I'll try in order. 1) HD 518 (which I now own as a portable version) - it is clear that the sound of the 518s does not reach these game ones, namely, they begin to wheeze, but in general, I would not say that the sound is very different, obviously not 2 times, judging by the cost 2) PC 350 GAME (at one time I took it for 3500, a copy of Game Zero) it’s not entirely correct to compare them, because these are closed headphones, but if you omit this moment, then it’s almost the same in terms of sound quality and their multimedia content, but heck, they were really worth the money, even adjusted for the exchange rate, today they would cost ~6k+-, and this is a fair price. 3) Well, HD 599, which are even cheaper. - I'll be honest, up to 599, Game One headphones, like cancer before China, have ABSOLUTELY different sound levels. 599 is cleaner, the panorama is wider, but they are just more musical and that's it. In addition, they are more comfortable, simply because they are lighter and sit more freely, well, it’s understandable, after all, One are gaming ears and they were made with a tighter fit in order to improve sound insulation at least a little (on open-type ears, this is difficult to do ) and since you choose open-type ears, soundproofing does not bother you much. Conclusion: If you want multimedia headphones, then it’s better to take 599 and play with the equalizer, be sure to warm it up, because at first, the highs are too high and it will be uncomfortable to play (after all, you don’t just look at gaming ears) and buy a separate microphone. Regarding the Game One, I can’t call them bad, but I can’t call them good either, because of their price, the objective cost of these headphones is ~ 6 thousand. I wish you good luck with your choice.
