G4ME or Zero. Game one?

Sennheiser we have two new gaming headsets Stereo 2-year warranty that look similar at first glance, they share the same microphone, textile cable and volume control but they are very different:

- The G4ME Zero is closed, heavier than its cousin, soft imitation leather restraints, collapsible with semi rigid bag for transport, besides his board is half as deep as the G4ME One, nomadic opinion! Very well finished with metal in places.

The comfort of G4ME Zero will satisfy medium and big heads, pillows are comfortable even in summer ears will be warm as this headset is closed. The advantage of artificial leather is that you can clean it, the velvet of the "One" is softer and allows the skin to breathe but I'm not certain that the cushions pass the machine. His side we are right in the family of closed headphones, serious slightly below, midrange a little present but very precise, clear highs. The slight lack of bass is accompanied by serious physical felt through the insulation shells, it makes up a little. The sound proofing of the headset is quite good, good point at a LAN for example.

- The G4ME One is open, light with velvet cushions on the headphones and the headband, it does not fold and do not come with a carrying case. Finished well despite all plastic.

Its comfort is good if your head is not too large, at home it too tight and it is unacceptable even if you tell me that I have a big head. Listening level is a fairly neutral helmet with a slightly blurry midrange and treble a light coat. Do not get me wrong, it's quite okay but compared with a very good Beyerdynamic DT880Pro 190, it is clearly not in the same category despite some 230 displayed for G4ME One at time of writing . As it is opened, it does not isolate external noise and your neighbors can hear what is happening if the environment is quiet.
Side microphones both helmets are identical, noise reduction function and muting the microphone when folded. A flexible portion of the rod allows a slight adjustment of the microphone position. I had fun recording a piece of voice and microphones are decent.

Textile cables offered on the two helmets are identical, 3m length with a velcro cable tie to handle the overflow of any length, two 3.5mm mini-jack plugs for headphones and microphone. I read in a news Sennheiser opinion that could have proposed a 6.35mm adapter for these almost audiophile headphones, but they are not nearly audiophiles, suddenly it did not miss. Besides an ugly mechanical noise is transmitted to the earphones with the tissue that covers the cable, both the G4ME One and more on G4ME Zero. One would have been a useful adapter connector 2-> 1 to use the headset to a phone or some portable ordis bear only one outlet.

Speaking of phone, my Galaxy Note 3 got a level enough to break my head with both headsets. I thought German Sennheiser but on the boxes we read with interest in Denmark designed and manufactured in China, confirmed by the smell of the cover of Zero.

So which to choose? Big heads, nomads and players in noisy environments, prefer G4ME Zero. For small heads that play only sedentary (s) in their room, the one G4ME won with far better sound and comfort.

It makes me a little sick to put only 3 stars to a high range product at Sennheiser, my wife still use my old Sennheiser PC151 which dates from 1998, fell at least once a day the office and still works. The sound proofing, micro anti noise and comfort are good but unfortunately I found that the rendering Zero G4ME sound is less pleasant in the game as the Logitech G35 (107, good sound via USB 7.1) of my son, and listening music is like most helmets closed too analytical for my taste.
