The German manufacturer Sennheiser has just launched its new open-ended gaming headset GSP 500. With this new model, the manufacturer wants users to be able to experience sound in its purest and most natural form, without the artifacts that make up the audio experience. In this way, the manufacturer wants to address the most purist gamers on the market.
There are two design trends in headset gaming:
Closed design headphones: these are the ones that ultimately close the cups. In this way, the sensation that is created is more immersive. Since it seems that the music is born inside the head itself. They are the most insulating from outside noise.
Open design headphones: they leave a part of the driver cups in the air, so that part of the sound escapes outwards, creating a more natural feeling in the sound you hear. On the contrary, they are the least insulating from the outside music.
The design that gamers prefer and the one that is more produced by the manufacturers of sound products is the closed model. Since the vast majority of them are more interested in sound insulation. So that is to avoid inconvenient distractions in the middle of a game.
In keeping with the principles that have made Sennheiser one of the market leaders in the manufacture of sound components, every single loudspeaker installed on the new GSP 500 is individually tested to ensure the best possible sound quality for its users. And because ergonomics is an important consideration when designing a component that will be in use for many hours.
Pricing and Availability
So, Sennheiser has decided to manufacture the ear cushions. That cover the cups with breathable fabric to avoid the most common complaint of gamers with helmets that use synthetic leather to cover them. That causes the excessive sweating in the ears.
To enhance the sound experience for users. Sennheiser has tuned its gaming headphones to create a very spacious sound space while equalizing the bass response to make them more spacious. So that the user can be more immersed in the games.
Sennheiser GSP 500s are now available for purchase at the manufacturer’s web shop for €187.
