Hey nice review! I also checked out your GSP 301 review which was great as well. I actually bought the GSP 350? I think that's what it's called. It's Red and Black and has USB and surround. Before that I was using my soundblaster tactic sigma headset which was likely over a decade old. The thought of getting a better headset just hadn't crossed my mind for w.e reason, even though I'd already upgraded every other aspect of my PC gaming setup (including table and chair lol.) Anyway, the soundblaster did it's job for a long time and I never had a better headset so it was quite a step up. The GSP is so comfortable. I literally game all day/night long with it on and it never bothers me at all. I totally forget that I'm even wearing a headset because it's so light and I don't feel any pressure on my head or ears from it. The fact that they managed to make it this light is pretty impressive considering the size of the headset. I do love the big dial on the right earcup too. The MIC seems pretty good to me. I don't stream Twitch or w.e but I do use Discord and some in game voice chat and I've had no complaints but I'm no expert. As for the sound quality, I think it sounds very clean. I'm no expert on this topic either and I know it may be considered a gimmick by some but they do have the surround sound and I feel it helps a lot in games like Overwatch. I can always tell where the footsteps are coming from. I listen to music on youtube and I like how it sounds a lot. I think it's a very clean sound and it isn't overdone in any aspect. But again, I have nothing else to compare it to and also my friend told me that listening to music on youtube doesn't do a good headset justice because of the low quality of the files. I do like a deep and powerful BASS a lot and while the BASS is definitely there on the GSP 350, it isn't over the top. My soundblaster headset had a more powerful bass but it didn't sound anywhere near as good as the GSP. Anyway, the reason I typed this up here and not under the GSP 301 review is because when I bought my GSP I was also considering getting the Game ONEs or GAME ZEROS. One of them was also a lot cheaper than the other, I think it was the GAME ONES? It was $179. I've also never tried an open back headset and I'd like to. I ended up going with the GSP 350 for a few reasons. I wanted a USB connection and the GSP 350 had that and I liked the big volume dial plus they were cheaper and had surround sound. Do you think I should try the GAME ZEROs? I'm also interested to see what they've done with the GSP 600 so can't wait your review on that one. Thanks!

Can you please do a review of the Game Zero?

Thanks!

Curious, would you guys ever consider doing a review of the Game Zero? I know that there isn't a lot of difference between the Game Zero and the Game One (except for some possible noise levels and the ear cups), but they are definitely different enough to warrant their own review.

Afraid not, as Sennheiser replaced the Game One/Game Zero with the GSP 600 (reviewed here) and GSP 500 (review coming soon). That's why obtaining a sample of the Game Zero from them isn't possible anymore.

Hahaha I'd even be willing to supply my Game Zero to do a review hahaha!

Basically, it's the same as the Game One, except it is closed back so the sound stage isn't is wide. The ear cups are made up of a different material (sort of like a pleather material) and the headset can be folded up. It also comes with a carrying case where as the Game One doesn't. Having worn both of these headsets, I would have to say that the Game Zero is actually more comfortable.
