The GSP 500 is part of Sennheiser’s new range of high-end gaming headsets, also made up of its almost twin brother the GSP 600. If the second is a closed headset, the first, which interests us here, is an open headset which therefore promises to trade the excellent sound insulation of its brother for a wider sound reproduction. Let’s see what happens.
Despite a few small flaws, the GSP 500 delivers an extremely solid overall performance. Comfortable (except for a pronounced clip effect), equipped with a microphone of absolutely remarkable quality, it also benefits from very immersive sound reproduction, in particular thanks to very ample and precise spatialization. The latter, however, is expressed mainly on games and films; for listening to music, the GSP 500 is noticeably less comfortable. So, even though it is one of the best headphones gaming available, this relative lack of versatility will have to be taken into account before any purchasing decision, especially at its very high launch price.
Points forts
Natural and immersive sound. Responsive and controlled bass. Good level of sound detail. Excellent stereophony, ample and precise spatialization. Microphone of remarkable quality. Nice build quality. Very comfortable…
Weak points
…despite excessive pressure around the ears. Slight coloration in the treble, neutrality could be improved. Slight imprecision in the midrange, slight lack of sound delivery. Proprietary connector between cables and headset, volume wheel integrated directly into headset.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The first HyperX Cloud established itself as the benchmark for headsets gaming less than €100; Cloud Alpha has all the weapons to take up the torch. Good on all points, versatile and benefiting from astonishingly precise sound reproduction (despite excessive softness), the latest from HyperX is a sure value that will delight the vast majority of its buyers.
