As a gamer, you probably have a handful of headphones strewn around your house, and you’re not very happy with any of them. Maybe they’re too quiet, maybe they’re slow, maybe their choppy, their direction sense is probably a little off. In fact, they most likely aren’t actually designed for gaming at all. Sennheiser Gaming Headphones are. Finding good cordless headphones can be a chore, and Sennheiser’s got it all.
Thing you want in a good gamer headset: no lag between when something happens in the game and when it hits your ears, something comfortable you can wear for a long time, a microphone that functions well, and the big mini secret all gamers know that they’re not going to tell you: surround sound. Surround sound in headphones means they have multiple sound generators in each earpiece, helping you know if the sound is behind you, to the left, to the right, or in front of you. Quality surround sound can increase your capability as a gamer significantly in some games.
You want to get a Sennheiser that has stereo and a built in microphone. Having a cordless one will let you run to the kitchen to grab pretzels without becoming the next Leroy Jenkins. Sennheiser headphones also usually come with volume control and a microphone mute on the headset so you don’t have to click out of your game to shut it off on your computer.
The only complaints about Sennheiser specifically are never about sound quality or durability or compatibility with systems. The only complaint is that the heavy duty pressure on them can hurt a bit. That complaint is often followed by the excuse ‘I have a big head’, so if you consider yourself to have a big head, keep that in mind. Otherwise, they’re often said to be very comfortable, and well worth the cost.
