https://www.channelnews.c...aming-headset-gsp-500/ Specially positioned speakers within the ear cups channel the sound directly into the ears which the company says ensures the best possible spatial representation and awareness of the gaming environment. I have only tried Sennheiser gaming headphones once but the sound quality is fantastic and I expect this model to be equally great.

No doubt a big name in headphones and it looks great but at $370 I'll keep my HyperX Cloud II for now.

I love Sennheiser headphones but I'll just keep my HD 598s. I switched over to Sennheiser headphones a few years back because I had two $100 gaming headsets die on me within a year of each other so I decided to switch to studio headphones with an external condenser microphone for gaming and I've not been disappointed since. Since either the cables or the microphones have been the weak link for every pair of headphones and earbuds that has ever died on me and I am still hesitant to get a wireless headset, these Sennheisers , having a removable cable is a big bonus. If the cable ever died on me I could order a new cable for $10 instead of paying another $200 for a new headset. The audio quality is a lot better too. With that being said though, these could be some truly amazing headphones for somebody that can afford them. I've owned two pairs of Sennheiser headphones and I've been impressed with their quality. If I had that kind of money to throw around I would probably buy them myself.

Wow $370?
I just bought a GSP 500 from Dell for $172. Normal non-sale price is $229 usd, (I had a discount to throw in on it too so I couldn't pass them up). At that price it puts them in the same league as what the Game One sold for. They won't be delivered until the end of this week though. So I can't report on quality or compare them with my other Headphones and Headsets just yet. Seems the GSP 600 sells for a normal non-sale price of $249usd and the GSP 500 for $229usd just about everywhere. I'm assuming that article is giving Australian prices.

GSP's are going for $230 on Amazon. Not sure where $370 came from unless its one of them scalpers.
I use the Senneiser PC363D. Well worth every penny. The quality overall is great and so is the microphone that is included. Quality stuff compared to competitors if you're willing to dish out the funds.

That's spendy, I think, for those. I bought a pair of V-Moda Wireless and they are fantastic! They have a boom mic available that plugs in, replaceable foam cushions, customisable, made of metal, very comfortable, sounds great. https://v-moda.com/collections/headphones

Yes the person who wrote the article is Australian which I hinted at several posts above.

I was asked to diversify the news posts from different sources so I try to post from different world wide PC news sites. You'll probably see several of my news posts from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and USA. We are a worldwide forum so it makes sense to use worldwide PC news sources.

All good man, I didn't mean to start all this when I initially posted about the price being cheaper in the US. Thanks for the news though, much appreciated.
