The Sennheiser GSP 600 is quite possibly the best analogue headset your money can currently buy. It comes with a hefty price tag of $250, but absolutely everything about it is at an exceptional level. Even though it doesn't utilize luxurious materials, like metal and real leather, it's made in a way that feels robust, durable, and perfectly suitable for countless hours of hardcore gaming sessions. It uses an interesting mechanism that allows users to adjust the clamping force, which does wonders in terms of wearing comfort. The GSP 600 can be used for hours at a time without any chafing or any other form of discomfort. Sennheiser even made the front of the ear cushions out of suede-like material to prevent them from sticking to your skin.

The massive ear cups are a home to a pair of truly impressive speaker drivers. They deliver an exceptionally rich, detailed, and clean sound with a deep and weighty bass that proved as suitable for music and movies as it did for serious online gaming. The spatial positioning is amazing—you'll have no trouble detecting your targets, figuring out where they're shooting from, and hearing them before they hear you. At the same time, the sound signature manages to be exciting and fun. For users who don't own a nice pair of Hi-fi headphones, the GSP 600 could be a good way to get both a fantastic gaming headset and a good pair of headphones in one fell swoop.

The microphone, even though not the best one Sennheiser has ever used on a gaming headset, does its job admirably and can certainly be used for tasks that are far more demanding than simple chatting on Discord, such as Twitch and YouTube streaming.

If sound and microphone quality and wearing comfort are three bastions of any gaming headset, the Sennheiser GSP 600 can only be considered a raging success. In all those areas it delivers in heaps. Sure, it's undoubtedly expensive, but I can guarantee that you'll forget how much you've spent for it from the very moment you start using it.
