Sennheiser GSP 303 Need For Speed Payback Edition Review

👤by Tony Le Bourne Comments 📅14-11-17
Conclusion

It is always a joy to test out a Sennheiser product as it allows us to reset our boundary for judging audio quality, and the GSP 303 clearly punches the wind out of many premium 'gaming' headsets. The design aesthetic is attractive and functional, while the intuitive controls simply makes life easier. Games, music and all forms of media will benefit from the fantastic clarity and detail found in the GSP 303, and if the microphone quality is a dire concern for you, you can certainly trust Sennheiser.



As far as the pricing goes, at £89 you get a slam dunk for all the vital aspects of what makes a good headset. Lightweight, long lasting comfort, crystal clear audio and a good quality microphone. However, it does miss out on some features that you may find on various other premium gaming headphones, some of which we are starting to take for granted. These include: modular cables, virtual 7.1 surround and USB connectivity, greater flexibility/folding. The most important consideration for some gamers will be whether they would want a slightly more prominent bass, if so, there are several very good alternatives, but for people that want an excellent, natural sounding, balanced audio, Sennheiser have your back here.

There is little more you can expect from a gaming headset when it nails all the fundamentals so damn well.

Pros.
+ Very comfortable
+ Lightweight, good quality construction
+ Crystal clear, well balanced audio that is rich and detailed
+ High quality, auto-muting microphone

+ Wide soundstage
