EPOS Sennheiser GSP 300 Wired Gaming Headset

I purchased these headphones for a couple of reasons. I am a sennheiser fan, and have found them to provide a quality product, and the other reason is that when I play my PS4, I am going to be using the headphones for a while, and wanted comfortable headphones. I have been pleased with these headphones. My previous pair of headphones that I used for gaming were an "on the ear" pair that I bought for around $20. While they worked fine, my ears hurt after about an hour, and it progressively got worse. These Sennheiser headphones are over the ear, and are extremely comfortable, especially the padding around the ear, which is made to appear leather, but i am almost certain is not. They also have excellent sound quality. I find that Sennheiser headphones allow the user to experience a multitude of sounds individually, instead of having a bunch of sounds blurred together. What I mean by that is that while there are many different sounds happening at or around the same time, you can differentiate between them, instead of certain other more powerful sounds blurring other smaller ones out of notice. In fact, I play my games using the headphones almost exclusively, as I find using the tv speakers doesn't give me the immersive feel, and when playing a game like DayZ, you want to be able to hear the direction the "threat" is coming from. With many different sounds around you, the Sennheiser deliver clear, crisp sound. I really like the the ability to simply flip the mic arm up to mute. The user can tell when the "Mute" is achieved as you will hear a very slight "click" that sounds as though a switch inside the arm has been moved. Sure enough, as soon as you hear the click moving the arm up, your party no longer hears you. Pull it back down and as soon as you hear the "click" your party hears you again. No inline switch to try and find, just the simplicity of moving an arm up. I like that feature a lot more than I thought I would. Also, the volume knob on the right side headphone is very easy to find, and use. Two more things that make me a fan of these headphones. After hours of playing, they are still comfortable on my head, and my ears don't feel uncomfortable at all. Pain free headphones. The padding on the top of the headphones has a split in the middle, which makes them feel steady and more comfortable on your head. No center pressure at the top, the weight is better distributed. The last thing I like most about these headphones, I don't think about wanting to buy a more expensive pair for more features or better sound. I am happy with the construction, as well as the quality of sound. I don't expect that I will need to purchase different headphones for many years to come.
