Sennheiser G4me Zero Gaming Headphones with Microphone Black

Product Information

The Game Zeros are more or less the same headphones internally. While the slight improvement in sound is worth noting, it’s not much compared to the extra features and better build quality on these cans. Sennheiser Game Zero Overall This does, however, work very well in games. Sound effects hit much harder, peaking at the top and bottom of the frequency spectrum. There’s a nice sense of space too, feeling gunshots shoot past or tires screech on the ground.

When a co-worker tested the Game Zero, he said that the headset was comfortable overall, and he especially appreciated that the ear cups make a good seal around the bottom of the ears. He didn’t find the ear cups and headband to be quite as soft as I did, though. Gaming Performance a wide range of head sizes and endures a little head bopping as well. Since the headband is sufficiently wide, it divided theWhile it’s good, it’s certainly not the best for gaming. Sennheiser sits in between, not fully catering to either gamers or listeners. What’s left is something that does both decently, but neither great.

The Game Zeros are slightly more expensive, but present mostly the same view as seen with the Game Ones. However, some upgrades in the build quality set these cans just a notch above. Design and Build However, I encountered an oddity when I played The Witcher 3. While the music and sound effects reverberated across the rich soundscape, the voices sounded like they were coming from the bottom of a well. With other headsets that using immersive equalizations, I've noticed that they sometimes produce a funny, hollowing effect with voices, but since the Game Zero has no software, there’s no option to change things. I won’t say Witcher 3 was unplayable, but listening to quest dialogue was annoying instead of endearing, and I imagine that the same could hold true for other story-driven, dialogue-heavy adventures.The Game Ones are a bit of an awkward pair of headphones. They have plenty of merits, with attention to detail in comfort, decent sound quality and plenty of features. However, they don’t fit the mold of what should be expected from gaming headphones. It’s certainly not bad, just something that should be considered. Sennheiser Game Zero I’m a former audio engineer, who researched and tested both of these popular headphones models to help you determine which option is best to take your gaming experience to the next level.

Let’s get started with an in-depth look at what sets these two models apart. Sennheiser Game One vs Game Zero Comparison Comfort doesn’t tell the same story, thankfully. The ear cups are very comfortable, with extra large plush velvet ear pads. The only downside to these is that they can get a little gummed up if you sweat a lot while gaming. On top, there’s plenty of padding to keep your head nice and comfortable, even during long gaming sessions.Similarly, both pairs of headphones models come with interchangeable cables; a TRRS braided cable or two TRS cables. The TRRS connection is used with more modern laptops that feature a single integrated audio port that functions as both a microphone and headphones. It’s also useful if you’re using this headphone in conjunction with your phone. Yet, for gaming, both the Sennheiser Game One and the Game Zero make excellent headphones for the money. Since most gamers play for extended periods, high frequencies can cause ear fatigue. As a result, lower high-frequency levels result in less ear fatigue when playing for longer sessions. It’s much more convenient than reaching for your amplifier’s or computer’s volume control. Both models showcase impressive positional sound quality, a comfortable design, and deliver accurate bass levels. The intended wider soundstage is better capitalized on here. Instead of losing sound, the seal traps what you want to hear in and carries some ambient noise in through the intended channel. It works much better for these headphones, and I’m glad the change is here.

It’s been a few years since Sennheiser invaded the gaming world, and the German audio companydid not disappoint – their SennheiserGAME ONEbecameone of the cult favorites. The Game Zero earns a wholehearted recommendation for competitive games, or single-player ones where dialogue plays a secondary role. If you’re mostly a role-playing game aficionado, though, you might have to invest in a device that handles voices better — and honestly, just about every headset on our Best Headsets list can do so. Music Performance In terms of soundstage, the Game Zero has focused and directional sound. Some headphones leave the soundstage feeling clustered and it sounds as if the instruments aren’t given their own place within the stage. Upon listening to Nobody by Mitski, I realized that, on the Zero, every instrument has its very own defined place, as if a special slot is reserved just for it. The audio is clear, crisp and sharp and every little detail of the song is delivered on a separate layer. The precise sound that I experienced is expected of studio headphones and for a stereo headset to offer it is highly praise-worthy.The build quality looks good but is suboptimal considering the price. Mainly, this critique comes in the frame. It’s made completely out of plastic and feels pretty weak when put under any scrutiny. It’s disappointing, really, considering how expensive these headphones are and how cheap they feel. Game Zero comes in at a mid to high priced gaming headset and in a crowded competitive field needs to be
