The GSP 500 is part of Sennheiser’s new range of high-end gaming headsets, which also builds on its near-twin GSP 600. If the second is a closed headset, the first, which interests us here, is an open headset that promises to trade its sibling’s excellent sound insulation for wider sound reproduction. Let’s see what happens.

Despite a few minor flaws, the GSP 500 delivers a very solid overall performance. Comfortable (except for an obvious clip effect), equipped with a microphone of quite remarkable quality, it also benefits from a very immersive sound reproduction, thanks to a particularly high and precise location. However, the latter is mainly expressed in games and movies. For listening to music, the GSP 500 is significantly less comfortable. So this is one of the best headphones though. Gaming available, this relative lack of versatility has to be taken into account before any purchase decision is made, especially at its very high launch price.

For headset buyers, the “microphone” part is often just as important, if not more, than the “headset” part. Epos understands this well, as evidenced by the H3, which offers the most astonishing quality of sound capture on the market – without forgetting to ensure completely accurate sound reproduction. To be made. It stands as a great alternative to the ever-present HyperX Cloud Alpha – which boasts significantly more efficient speakers, but does so with a more unremarkable microphone.
