I was looking for a PC headset that can serve me both for games and music. Given the many positive reviews for this helmet, I decided to buy it even if ultimately a lot of people were not happy with this helmet. After unpacking we see immediately that this is a high-end headset, it is very well assembled and does not seem especially fragile. At the level of comfort is exemplary! XXL ear perfectly encompass the ears and velvety mosses (watch against dust by) is most appreciated! The head serve very well adjusted and do not crush my big head! The microphone is of excellent craftsmanship means we perfectly and fortification is made very simple with this lift system. The noise reduction system seems to work without miracles. - In sound, what you expect all it does not really sound slap. However the sound is very good, it is clear and BASS ARE HEREBY although behind. This allows among others can link the games hours (fps genre where his blows not bad) without experiencing headaches because of bass that you take ages eardrums. This headset is also very suitable for listening to music. I could try it on an iPad, smartphone and my PC and I would say it is equivalent to a mid-range stereo headphones. Regarding the use of video games is the total distance means great (even the footsteps of your enemies, yes so, who are well surprise the way!). Regarding the open design of the atria that can be a strength as a weakness. The advantages are that it allows a better spatial sound and you can hear others talk to you and your own voice (nicer than to hear a stifled voice in a closed helmet). But soon an average volume of the sounds we hear outside helmet which can disturb your surroundings. Moreover, in a noisy environment, this design does not turns out very convenient (for watching a movie in the car for example). To give you an idea, fan noise of a PC at rest is clearly audible.
Strengths: - Comfort, we really ended up forgetting !! - Micro - Son - Ergonomics (volume control on loreillette very well thought fortification system) - Open design of the atria
Weak points: - Stereo headphones, but not too - No remote control on the cable to adjust the sound of the voice chat and the sound of games (but hey, is the button on the headset) - Open design of the atria - Price (100 would have been more justified)
Overall I I am so please with my purchase even if the price seems a bit high and that Sennheiser would have provided a pouch for storage. I want to clarify that I am not a music lover hardens and I did not sound card on my PC (connected to CM), the sound must surely improve with.
In conclusion, if you want a helmet to play games and listen occasionally music this headset shoed nicely.
