Review on EPOS I Sennheiser GAME ONE Open Gaming Headset: Unleash the Ultimate Gaming Experience! by Sang-hoon Lee ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

For some reason, my Windows 10 determined that they were connected to three connectors and in a couple of games the use of the 7.1 sound scheme was automatically turned on, after which the sound disappeared. I unchecked "Disable all effects" and the problem was gone, but three connectors remained. In my opinion, they are worth each of the 9,500 I spent (there was a discount) and I would not even regret giving it back. I am satisfied with the purchase, I recommend.

Pros
  • 1. SOUND. Although I don’t have an external sound card, even on the SupremeFX (Crosshair VI Hero) plug-in, they sound simply incomparable to my taste. Full immersion. Where I used to hear something like the sound of the wind, now I can hear the whispers of people. There could have been more bass in games. In the same Siege, distant explosions do not give the feeling of trembling walls, although the near ones sound like they should. In Sonic Studio III, I use the Sennheiser HD 558's preset EQ, it's just too lazy to select settings specifically for long-range explosions. 2. QUALITY PERFORMANCE. The case is just silent. Nothing creaks or knocks anywhere, the feeling is as if they are completely rubberized - you put on / take off and not a single blow occurs in the movable joints. When twisting the arc, too, not a single creak. 3. HUGE SHELLS. Before that, there were also monitor headphones, but my, frankly, rather big mugs did not fit, and in a couple of hours, the ears pressed to the head became numb and I wanted to drop everything and throw them off. There is also spare space left in these headphones, sitting in them for 4-5 hours is not a problem at all, although they are slightly tight for me. I'm waiting for them to break. I liked the velor ear pads, my ears do not sweat, although before buying I doubted that this was a practical solution. 4. The MIC is said to be one of the best in the class. I myself have not tried it in real situations yet, but in the Windows settings I turned on "Listen to this device" and for the first time I liked my voice on the recording. 5. REPLACEABLE CABLES. 3 meters for PC and 1.2 meters for everything else. Nylon braid. The cable is moderately hard, which I consider a plus, because the soft cable on the previous headphones constantly slipped or clung somewhere.
Cons
  • Requires a quality source. In them you will hear every defect in the recording. Disappointed in my audio library. The recording quality of 70% of the tracks turned out to be poor. If on the previous headphones the crackle did not stand out much due to the general poor sound quality, now 30 seconds of the purest recording, you catch a buzz, and then some kind of crunch is sure to scratch your ears. Annoys. A little tight on my head. I hope they spread themselves, it’s somehow scary to unbend the arc with your hands.
