CONCLUSION
I ended up using the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 370 Wireless Gaming Headset for a total of 2 weeks with several game titles (including GEARS Tactics, Need For Speed Heat, Forza Horizon 4, Doom Eternal, Star Citizen and Grand Theft Auto 5) and multiple 4k Blu-ray movies. Well as the name clearly states the GSP 370 is a gaming headset and so even though its Movie preset helps I really didn’t like the way it sounded in movies (listening to music is far better). I guess it’s ok if you don’t plan on using it much to watch movies but if you do then I do recommend looking elsewhere (one of the other EPOS Sennheiser models perhaps?). Moving to games this is where the headset shows its true worth since it offers very good positioning audio with good bass levels and accurate mids and highs. I did notice some static in the audio a couple of times but that’s not something I haven’t encountered with most wireless headsets out there. Build quality is also very good (as are comfort levels) and although I may not like the feeling of the volume knob but it works as it should so no real issues here. EPOS Sennheiser claim that the GSP 370 can last for up to 100 hours but as expected I wasn’t able to come nowhere near that so if you like using your headset at almost maximum volume like I do you’ll be very lucky to surpass 70 hours (which too is a very good number) without a recharge. Finally, I was genuinely surprised to see that the microphone actually does a very good job and is better than 80% of the headsets (both wireless and wired) I’ve tested and/or used to date so I guess kudos to EPOS Sennheiser for that.
The GSP 370 Wireless Gaming Headset was launched late last year and today it retails for USD198.95 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 190Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which is very balanced, especially for a product by Sennheiser. So, is the GSP 370 worth your money? Short answer is yes, if you are a gamer that is (if you like watching movies primarily however you should look elsewhere). So, if you enjoy playing games and you’re tired of cables the GSP 370 is for you and since it delivers on everything that really matters it does deserve our Golden award.
