Sennheiser PC 320 Gaming Headset

First and foremost, I have tried many headphones and the Sennheiser PC 320 is by far the most comfortable one yet. These pads are extremely comfortable on my ears and are secure enough not to fall off easily. I don't feel like they're clamping on me at all like the other headsets do. I haven't tested out the mic yet but I'll update that later after I finish enjoy the great sound and comfort.I use the Astro Mixamp so I can connect it to my Xbox360. I got the PC 320 because it is relatively cheaper than the xbox counterpart X320 and they're about the same. The only difference between PC320 and X320 is the volume control button. The PC320 has a single volume control on the right ear (which is a circular dial by adjusting with your finger) and the X320 has a voice and sound control separately on the wire. By itself it's a good feature but since I'm using the Mixamp, I don't need that feature. I tried the TurtleBeach x31 and they're pretty comfortable but they have this "hissing" sound, or white noise, that I cannot stand. My ears are very sensitive to these extra sounds so I would rather not use a headset if I don't absolutely need to. Even with the Mixamp, I could not get rid of it so I sold it after a few uses.When I first took the headset out of the box, it feels really light. I thought it's going to suck because a light headset from my experience = flimsy and feeble sound. How wrong was I! The sound was solid and I can hear everything that is going on in the game and I think Sennheiser did a really great job on that. I can hear footsteps, voices and car motor sound separately and can easily distinguish which direction they're coming from.I personally do not like heavy bass headsets for games especially when I need to talk to my teammates. What's the point of hearing the grenade blowing up that covers up your teammate yelling "ambush on right!"? But if you must and absolutely need heavy bass, I would say these are a little on the lighter side, on default settings. Currently, I use Audio Technica ATH-A700 Headphones for regular music, movie and gaming which is also somewhat lighter on bass compared to others on the market, but it's also because it's meant to listen to acoustic sounds.Most of the time I can only play using headset for a couple of hours as my ears feel sore or get too hot. I wore these as if I was listening through speakers, where the sound feels farther away and not straight sting to your ears.For the whole time I was wearing it, I do not feel it being on me as it is very light-weighted.Pros: Light-weight for prolonged usage. Sounds are softer to the ears. No "hissing" sound. Lighter bass. (IMO it's a good thing)Cons: Lighter bass. (Cons if you like more bass)PS.Cons: Extremely comfortable, 4 hours gaming feels like 1 hour which is not good (sarcasm) as this makes me play longer without knowing. =)

The shape is awesome, I love Sennheiser headsets and how the band across the top sits slightly back from the center of the skull.I was disappointed in the sound quality for the price of the headphone. If you're looking for high quality sound to match the gaming style design, see if you can save up the extra money for the next best modelI really like the concept of the volume control on the right ear, and the mic that turns off when you flip it up.I have a slight peeve with the volume control- once I turn the volume down slightly from full - the right ear's volume drops significantly more than the left- so I opt to not use this function most of the time, but its great for quick on / off audio when I need to talk to someone.The Flip up mic is great, good for storage, I love how it turns off for open mic situations like when using skype, Sometimes for my friends on the call it can make a white noise static, or sometimes not turn off reliably ( very infrequent - but i avoid skype as much as I can- ventrilo / mumble / teamspeak all being superior. )

Good:-Incredibly comfortable: I wear glasses and it is such a relief to have a headset for once that doesn't put those annoying pressure points into your brains.-Fantastic mic: It's nice to be heard clearly but now everyone can hear my funny breathing.-Very immersing sound: Absolutely no bass but the mid and treble are FANTASTIC. Very punchy. Sounds as good as my 6" speakers with a tweeter, except blasted directly into my ear holes.-Awesomely clear sound: Everything is crisp and I listen to a lot of House music, i.e. Daft Punk, which is usually filled with lots of energy and sound in the mid to high ranges. The bass is a little muddled though.-Looks nice: It has an expensive look to it and a sleek, nice feel, albeit it feels a little flimsy.Bad:-Feels a little flimsy: I'm used to $20-$40 headsets and they often have much stiffer plastic and I can beat them up. I'm not so sure about this one.-Weird auto mute: I find the auto mute feature on it odd. I'd rather have no auto mute or a button or something. Just my opinion.-Weird volume control: Again, I find the knob idea odd also. Feels like I'm opening a jar of peanut butter on the side of my head or using an old rotary phone. I'd rather have an inline option or nothing at all. Just my opinion again.-No bass: I would have assumed something that costs $100 and is much larger than cheap earphones would provide more bass than what comes with say, an iPod, but I was wrong.Overall:-Awesome bang for your buck: Fits my budget and head. I don't have a freakishly large or small head but many other brands in the same price range have a funny fit and I have taken them back same day. Same with their sound quality and mic. Terrible in comparison and immediately went back. This is my first Sennheiser and I'm impressed. Despite the lack of bass (I didn't buy them for that anyways), this is $100 worth of incredible clarity and crisp sound great for gaming or casual listening.

The good: I like the sound volume dial on the right side and has great quality of soundThe boom mic is great and great quality, with its active switch being just to pull it down to levelThe mic works great for PC gamesThe bad: Sometimes I can't quite be heard correctly on skype with this microphoneThey spelled "Game" with a 4 - "G4ME"The ugly: It grates against my ear. After long gaming sessions, this leads to abrasive rashes on the very tip of my ear. Not pleasant.

Comfortable fit, sound is great and of the standard Sennheiser quality, boom mic works as expected with no quality barriers. Some adjustment to PC sound settings was required; however, they had already been tweaked to a previous headset and are not a reflection on this product.No signs of wear on movable parts thus far. These fit my spouse's generously sized man cranium quite comfortably with no squeeze, but also sit nicely on my dainty female brain case with no looseness or discomfort - truly one-size-fits-all.There is a volume control slider on the plastic outside of the ear cup opposite the mic, it was stealthily hidden and works perfectly. The ear cups fit nicely over-ear and are made of a very soft fabric reminiscent of my favourite fleece PJ pants from that absurdly expensive clothing store.Very happy with this purchase, bonus for no awkward foam over the mouthpiece for me to promptly lose.

Estuve unos meses mirando auriculares, viendo reviews, leyendo opiniones y tenía muchas dudas sobre cuál elegir, no son especialmente baratos y sin verlos en persona cuesta aún más decidirse.Los necesitaba para jugar pero ya no solo por el juego, quería unos en los que tanto el audio como el micro fuesen lo más nítido posible, y por otro lado al tratarse de el PC quería aprovechar también para poder escuchar música y ver películas con ellos sin perder calidad en los sonidos, y dí con estos...Son unos auriculares espectaculares a la altura de una marca como Sennheiser, cómodos y con un sonido impresionantemente nítido, tanto el audio como el micro, al hablar es como hacerlo por un buen teléfono.Están fabricados en plástico de buena calidad en color negro mate anti huellas salvo en las orejeras y algunas partes de el micro que son de plástico negro (con circunferencia en gris) brillante amante de las huellas.El tejido de las orejeras es de tela, evitando así la sudoración tras largas sesiones con ellos y el calor en verano, así como que se acaben cayendo a cachos con el uso como sucede con la piel. A pesar de ser tela aísla del ruido exterior, y llevar el control de volumen en el auricular derecho facilita el acceso y le quita peso al cable. Dispone de un cable con dos salidas independientes, una de audio y otra para el micro+ Ventajas- Precio- Calidad de audio Sennheiser- Control de volumen en auricular- Micro muteado al plegarse- Cable de 3 metros+ Desventajas- Micro no desmontable- Cable medianamente fino

There are no complaints about this one. And Sennheiser is a trusted name. The mic works great and the earphones are excellent. There is no attenuation at any levels when it comes to music, the sounds is balanced. I din't really try this for gaming yet.

I have been using this headset for a few months now and I have had no problems with it at all. It fits really well around my ears and I can actually wear it for as long as I wasn't to without any pains like it said. The microphone is the best one I've had to date, Sennhiser just know how to make a good microphone from past products I have bought from them. The last headset I had was the Sennhiser PC 3, even with a cheap one like that I had the best microphone quality in our TS server (going against turtle beaches and whatnot)! The speakers are loud enough for my liking and have a really nice quality of sound output. As for the disk on the side that changes the volume, quite nice to have when in a game window or something. Made me feel like a DJ when turning it up when listening to music, so no problems there.Overall, I would highly recomend this headset, everything met my expectations. Another amazing headset from Sennhiser!(Oh and the PC 3 headset is still working, I just wanted an upgrade. I've had those ones for years and they still work like new.)

Dopo innumerevoli ricerche e confronti ho optato per questo modello per il gaming su pc, preferendolo a modelli di casa Turtle Beach, Steelseries e Logitech.I motivi principali sono stati:- grande comfrot, da nuove le ho utilizzate per un pomeriggio intero ed è quasi come non averle- qualità del suono, grazie all'ottimo bilanciamento fra bassi, alti e medi (questi leggermente enfatizzati di fabbrica per permettere voip più chiaro mentre si gioca, una manna per il gamer)- controlli sulle orecchie: il microfono si rende muto semplicemente alzandolo, e il volume si regola girando con un dito il lato destro.- ottimo rapporto qualità costruttiva / prezzo.E' importante dire che per il gaming è bene abbinare queste cuffie al software Razer Virtual Sorround, oppure a una scheda audio dedicata come la Asus Xonar U3, in modo da avere il virtual sorround 7.1 nei videogiochi. Vengo da delle cuffie 5.1 (reali, non virtuali) e vi assicuro che queste suonano molto più pulite e il sorround rende meglio. Meglio cuffie stereo di alta qualità + sorround virtuale aggiunto poi rispetto a cuffie 7.1 o 5.1
