Most of the models in this line are closed-type wired gaming headsets. This form factor is most in demand, as it provides a decent level of passive noise isolation so that nothing distracts the gameplay. Less common in the GSP lineup are open or semi-open headsets, in which what is happening outside the game world, on the contrary, is clearly audible. Quite occasionally here you can stumble upon wireless options with a Bluetooth / radio connection and specialized headsets for consoles with a USB connector.


In terms of money, Sennheiser gaming headsets are more of a premium class and are designed for demanding gamers who are looking for the best balance between comfort and sound quality. Unlike many low-end, bass-heavy headsets, Sennheiser GSP models often sound clean, balanced, and powerful, and are equally enjoyable to play, watch your favorite TV series, or surf Spotify recommendations. The design of suspensions, coils and drivers is not an empty phrase for Sennheiser.

By the way, the company's experience in creating professional headphones for music and television studios came in handy. The secure chassis design of the GSP headsets provides optimal headroom—not too light to cause the headphones to accidentally fall off your head, but not too tight to tyre your head after a couple of hours of rolling. It seems that for the sake of great sound and impressive comfort, Sennheiser engineers sacrificed everything else — at best, some models are equipped with a detachable cable and a sound virtualization system. Fashionable lighting, vibration motors, ANS or headphone customization software are not held in high esteem here.
