Gamers want to fully immerse themselves in their game, let everything fade into the background and let the world of the game become reality. For those seeking this ultimate thrill, Sennheiser has developed the GSP 500. The open-back acoustic headset is the latest addition to the audio specialist's acclaimed gaming range and is so comfortable you'll barely notice you're wearing it, while its incredibly realistic, natural sound puts you in the centre of the action. With improved ergonomics, microphone performance and exceptional durability, the GSP 500 ensures a brilliant gaming experience.
The GSP 500 features an enhanced open-ear speaker system designed and manufactured by Sennheiser that delivers natural sound performance and combines outstanding clarity with an improved low-frequency response that adds excitement to gaming audio. Specially positioned speakers within the ear cups direct the sound directly into the ears to ensure a spatial representation and perception of the gaming environment.
The GSP 500 is multi-platform compatible for gaming with PC, Mac and consoles with 3.5mm jack input. Use with lower-powered devices is enhanced by a reduced impedance acoustic system that makes gaming on the go easier.

... In terms of quality, neither the GSP 500 nor the 600 have to hide from other high-end headsets and are almost on the same level as a Beyerdynamic MMX 300.
