I've had these for over a year and a half and I absolutely love them.

I got this when it was on sale. For most of my life I've used Sennheiser equipment so when my Razer Kraken Neon got the the point where they were giving me a headache after only a few hours of wear due to ear-cup size, I finally sprang for the Game Ones. I play a lot of MMORPGs such as ARK, ESO, Guild Wars 2, and War Thunder, so having a breathable headset that can take me through 12+ hours of gameplay is important to me. Plus, the open ear design also means that ones hearing is kept in better tact than with your standard closed headset.

Honestly there is no difference spec wise from the Game One and Sennheiser's mid tier audiophile headphones--the only difference is the boom mic. The noise canclation of the mic is spectaular and my friends don't even know that I'm typing on my mechancical keyboard. It literally takes the cat getting right in my face (and next the mic itself) and meowing for them to hear anything that isn't me. I always recommend Sennheiser as headphones in general, but since owning these I now suggest to anyone looking for a quality headset to buy either the Game One (this) or the Game Zero. The only thing I wish the Game One had was the folding hinges of the Game Zero so I could have maximum portability without worrying about my headset in a backpack. Other than that, I enjoy the open ear/air design and wouldn't change anything about these for the world.

A few notes:
-When you flip the boom up it automatically mutes you. There's a point where this occurs but I've yet to truly mess around and find the spot that the headset registers you as having the boom all the way up vs being all the way up.
-This *does not require a USB adapter or a combo audio adapter.*
This is not made clear on the page and they even try to bundle combo audio together. What you get is two cords, one a shorter 3.5mm jack plug that turns the headset into a headset for your phone or a computer that doesn't have split audio/mic (some laptops) and a very long split audio/mic 3.5mm jack set. Both cords simply twist/pull free (I twist to pull them free but push them in, though I've never had the cord ripped out of the headset when I've dropped the PS4 controller) and you can swap them however you'd like. Both come with Velcro cable management ties and I find this particularly handy for both storage and for how my gaming tower is set up. The long cord when you plug the two 3.5mm jacks into the front of the PC can get tangled and being able to have it wrapped up and stay wrapped up is a blessing.
-The braiding is very good quality, easily beating my Razer mouse and keyboard. But if you're wrapping and unwrapping the cables often the little teeth on the Velcro will eventually make the braiding fuzz up. It's just a little thing that might bug some people so keep that in mind. It shouldn't remotely be a dealbreaker for you, though.
-The volume control will not mute the whole thing, simply turn it down very low.
This is something I really like because of the open ear/air design. I can lower the volume to have a conversation with someone in the room without moving one ear cup off my head and putting the headset at an odd angle. I don't mind doing this on other headsets but for some reason on my Game One it's very uncomfortable.

All in all, I absolutely love this headset. I use it for regular gaming in my single player games,, my lone dungeon crawls, watching YouTube, Netflix, listening to music, using the PS4's mic/headphone plug, or even as a headset with my phone via the single 3.5mm jack. Sennheiser makes some of the best quality equipment out there and I am nothing but impressed at their headset.

Wow! These headphones sound great, feel great, and look great! They're the best sounding headphones for gaming I've ever heard, and they are well worth the price now that it's lower than it originally retailed for. Don't get me wrong, it would have been worth it at the original retail price too, but now that they've come down a bit, there's absolutely no reason not to get them. They're premium in every way and sound better than a number of more expensive headsets I've tried.

Extremely disappointed and will be returning. The product was defective upon arrival and I could not get the mic to work no matter what I tried. The computer recognized the device and the mic was set to default, I did everything suggested after hours of searching through google, but the mic acted like it was stuck on mute, even when I moved the arm down. We tested this headset on multiple computers, to no avail. We then tested a completely different headset from Razer on my computer just to rule out any possibility of error on my computer's part, and the Razer mic worked perfectly and immediately. Aside from the whole mic situation, we also noticed that sound was not fully coming out of both channels. The right ear was significantly louder when listening to Spotify or Youtube, when I could barely hear anything from the left. When switching to my phone, there was no sound at all in the left.

I had a lot of hope for Sennheiser as this is my first time buying from the company I've heard so many good things about, but I've essentially paid close to $200 for a broken product.

These headphones are amazing. They may look a bit odd because of the fuzzy ear covers for the actual headphones but they are absolutely fantastic. The fuzziness can sometimes get a bit itchy for people with long hair if the hair gets trapped between the muffs and the side of your head, but otherwise amazing. The microphone is studio quality and is adjustable so you can move it away from your face so you're not breathing in someone's ear while chatting. I can easily wear these headphones for 4-8 hours at a time without any discomfort even though I wear glasses, which used to be a big issue with my old headset. They have full surround sound and amazing audio quality, which is perfect for my job as a transcriptionist and they are also very useful in gaming for locating enemies by their sounds and footsteps. I use them in Overwatch and people have actually accused me of cheating because I can so accurately use these to tell where enemies are coming from.

Very high quality headphones that work with both a computer and mobile devices (although I don't suggest you wear these in public as people will think you look funny). I've enjoyed everything I heard on these, and have even discovered sounds in games I didn't know were there. These headphones look rather stylish especially in a black and red computer set-up like I have. The cords are long and braided so if your computer is rather far away these cords should suffice. Cleaning hasn't been too troubling so far, a simple lint roller takes care of the fabric. The mic is in-distinguishable from my phone, and the audio of calls coming in is much better than that of the phone (samsung galaxy s7). Very happy with this purchase and has quickly become one of my favorite peripherals. Usually when I buy something I feel a little buyer's remorse over the other things I could have bought or might have liked better, but for these headphones, I have not stopped to question my purchase even for a second. 10/10 would buy again.
