INTRODUCTION

   Many times, have i pointed out in past reviews that the lack of awareness for my surroundings is what i don't enjoy when using headsets, especially when it comes to closed acoustic models. Still there are times when you just have to use one, whether that's because you don't want to annoy someone next to you (or in the next room) or if you're just playing a cooperative online game (or if you're a streamer of course) a headset is a must. So, since i also happen to play quite a few online games I’m always looking for all the latest gaming peripherals that are of interest to me with gaming headsets probably taking up most of that time. One of the latest models to reach the office/lab is the GSP 602 by EPOS | Sennheiser which I've been testing since early May.

   The GSP 602 is the third color addition in the GSP 600 line of closed acoustic headsets by EPOS | Sennheiser (GSP 600 is black and red, GSP 601 is white and black and GSP 602 is black and blue with brown earpads) and is based on two 50mm neodymium dynamic stereo drivers that feature a very wide frequency response of 10Hz–30.000Hz with 112dB sensitivity and 28Ohm impedance. As expected, the GSP 602 also packs the same noise-cancelling unidirectional boom microphone we've seen with previous models that features an impressive frequency response of 10Hz–18KHz and -47 dB sensitivity. Other features include two adjustable tension sliders, lift to mute microphone function, earcup volume wheel, split padded headband, memory foam padded ear pads (replaceable) and detachable 3.5mm cable. So, let's see if EPOS | Sennheiser delivers what they should with their latest GSP 602.
