Sennheiser PC 360 Special Edition Gaming Headset

Sennheiser once again proved me that hands down is the go-to brand when you want reliability, affordable prices and most importantly quality. I did my fair research about this product in comparison with other brands and other headsets from sennheiser but I didn't expect to truly be blown away by it since I've owned sennheiser products over the years and well I'm used to them but this time around was the first I had a much fancier and bulkier headset for gaming and I'm very glad I chose this particular one. Ear cups are super comfortable and don't put any pressure on my ears or skull after hours of use, sound quality is just right for everyday use from long gaming sessions to just listening to music and videos, so don't get me wrong I'm sure plenty of you would rather pick studio quality headphones for all audiophiles out there and that is ok however if you are looking specifically for a gaming headset that doesn't compromise sound quality over comfort and gaming branded addons then this headset gets everything right, from size to volume to even how crisp the microphone is. This product guys I'm telling you is a decision you won't regret making and for the ones wondering what type of earcup cushions, these are open-ear (cloth) meaning you get plenty of sound coming from inside but you will not be 100% isolated from the outside world and possible noises that come from it so keep that in mind. For me its fine since I constantly have to talk to roommates and therefore I need to notice when I'm being spoken to.

These Sennheiser PC 360's did what the Sennheiser HD-280's couldn't and that was offer a larger sound stage due to the open back design. The ear pads also allow me hours of gaming with no discomfort and the mic is perfect. I've used quite a few brands when it comes to headphones for gaming. AKG, Denon, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamics, and more. I really love the sound Sennheiser offers as it seems to re-create the most accurate sound. Quality bass, impressive mid-range, and high frequency isn't annoyingly distracting. For those needing a quality headset that don't sacrifice when it comes to the heapdhones, these are it.UPDATE: When using these to record, the open cans leak far too much sound to keep the recording quality from hearing slight playback of the sound. While I understand recording with a pair of open headphones is not smart, it's a deal breaker for those maybe considering that for streaming or recording.

I got this headset almost two years ago and for the most part I love it. The sound is great and it's comfortable for me. The one big issue I had with this headset is that the microphone snapped off on mine. The mic seems to not be the most high quality and durable plastic and jt snapped off where the rubber meets the plastic closest to the ear cup. Also, before it broke, I had used the mic in discord and games for about a year and I had a lot of issues with static sounds and being too loud or too quiet. I could never usually have a day where the mic didn't have some sort of issue. However since I was planning on upgrading to a desktop mic I'm fine with this and I've completely removed the microphone from the headset and now just use them as headphones.Overall very recommended due to sound quality but be wary of the mic if you're rough on your headsets.

These headphones have exceptional comfort. They fit over your ears and rest against your skull with just enough pressure to keep them in place. The padding is a felt like material and is very soft, with lots of cushion underneath. The top of the band also has a thick, soft felt patch on it as well. These are the most comfortable headphones I've ever used, they can be worn for hours without any pain or feeling hot. I use them for gaming and music. Sound quality is excellent, and the microphone works perfectly. Being able to flip up the mic to mute is very convienent, as is the volume control mounted on the right side ear piece. I originally bought my pair in November of 2011. They have held up great the last 6 years. You will not be disappointed if you purchase these.

I'm by no means an audiophile, but these headphones sound great to me. I've used them for gaming and listening to music, and the difference in clarity between them and my other pair of $30 skull candy headphones is huge. The mic sounds fine and the volume wheel on the right ear cup is very convenient and usable. However, the clamping force on these is way too tight. They give me a headache if I wear them for longer than thirty minutes to an hour, so unless I find some way to fix that, they're just not worth wearing and I've frequently been going back to my old pair as a result. Comfort is key, which is unfortunate since I wanted so badly to have a five star product with these.UPDATE: I've been able to "stretch" these out a bit by keeping them clamped over something wider than my head when I'm not using them, and it's taken a while for it to be effective but the pressure is significantly less than it was and they're much better to wear now. I'm raising the rating to four stars.

Cela fait 7 ans que je l'ai (j'en ai racheté un il y a 2 ans vu que le micro avait lâché sur le premier).Avantages :J'ai eu énormément de casque tout au long de ma période gaming, celui-ci est de loin LE PLUS CONFORTABLE que j'ai pu avoir, il est à un niveau totalement différent des autres, vous pouvez restez 15 heures non stop (pour les hardcores gamer) avec ce casque sans que vous vous rendiez compte que vous l'avez sur la tête, c'est un petit NUAGE POUR LES OREILLES.Il est très très léger, les oreillettes sont en velours (le seul inconvénient du velours étant la prise de poussière, mais niveau confort c'est la meilleure matière, parfait pour l'été 0 TRANSPIRATION).De plus la molette de réglage de son sur l'oreillette droite est vraiment très PRATIQUE, quand on essaye un autre casque on regrette instantanément qu'elle n'y soit pas.De même pour le micro qui se met en off juste en le remontant (oreillette gauche) et qui se rallume en le baissant,une fois essayé vous ne vous en passerez plus, c'est littéralement 10 FOIS MIEUX QUE les télécommandes des autres casques du marché.Enfin je recherchais absolument un CASQUE OUVERT, pour ceux qui ne savent pas un casque dit "fermé" vous isole totalement du son ambiant, on a l'impression d'avoir un casque de chantier, là où un casque ouvert je peux entendre ce qui se passe autour de moi ou même m'entendre parler.Alors là ça dépend des gens, certains préfèrent un casque fermé car trop de bruit à la maison, mais moi je sais que ne pas m'entendre parler me donne littéralement la nausée au bout de 30 minutes, du coup casque ouvert oblige et il est top sur ce point.Inconvénient :1) Au bout de 3 ans la prise qui relie le câble au casque bouge et n'est pas bien fixé, ce qui fait que lorsque je bouge la tête le micro s'active tout seul, pire pour un streamer on entend tout les petits bruits du mouvement du câble, ce problème est survenu avec le temps mais n'est pas présent au début.2) Pour ceux ayant des ports Jack (rouge et vert - micro casque) défectueux il vous faudra une carte son externe en plus (il y en a des pas chère à 10€ marquez littéralement "Carte son externe" sur Amazon vous verrez c'est juste une sorte de clé USB avec de nouveaux ports jack qui marchent bien).Si vos amis vous disent que votre micro est de mauvaise qualité, c'est que vos ports jacks sont H.S, sinon tout va bien pas besoin d'acheter de carte son externe.3)Préparez-vous à devoir en racheter un tous les 2-3 ans environ.Vous ne pourrez pas repasser sur un autre casque micro, j'en ai testé pleins, ceux qui se rapprochent de son confort sont des casques sans micro. Je pense sincèrement que le casque a une durée de vie moyenne de 2-3 ans avant que pleins de petits problèmes arrivent. Mais comme je dit en bon état, c'est le meilleur casque que j'ai pu avoir de ma vie.Voilà j'espère que j'aurais répondu à vos interrogations pré-achats.

This is my long-term review of the Sennheiser PC 360, after about 11 months of usage (purchased on the 18th of December, 2016).The Sennheiser PC 360 Special Edition delivers a lot of what Sennheiser is known for, which is a comfortable pair of headphones that deliver great, balanced sound. Having owned a pair of Steelseries Siberia Elites as my headphones prior to the PC360s, I can say that - compared to the Steelseries - the PC360's open-back design offers much clearer sound, much more detail and more strongly pronounced mid-tones. After comparing the two with the same songs, there are extra notes and sounds that the PC360 outputs clearly, which either are very muted or drowned out by the heavier bass of headphones like the Siberia Elites, for example. As is the nature of open-back headphones, though, outside sound is not blocked out as effectively, and thus this is not a good headset to use if you intend to use them in an environment with a lot of outside noise. Overall, the audio quality of the PC 360s is fantastic, especially for this price range, and the bass response is more than good enough if one is inclined to add bass through a software equalizer.In terms of design, the PC 360 does not strut, but nonetheless has a nice, neutral design, with comfortable velvet ear pads (which are the best 'breathing' pads I have ever used, and will keep the area around one's ears cool and dry), and a Sennheiser logo displayed beneath the perforated grill that sits on the outer side of the cups, which gives it a nice, sophisticated, slightly 'industrial' look. One thing to mention with the velvet ear pads - as ridiculously comfortable as they are - is the nature of the material itself, which can more easily (compared to typical leather ear pads) be rubbed broken eventually (such as if you wear glasses and the 'arms' - i.e. the temple part - rubs against them), as shown in the picture. The velvet material of the ear pads also collects hair, but this is not a huge issue, and never hinders performance in any way.One of the more notable aspects of the PC 360 is the huge microphone, ever-present in all shots of the PC 360. Among headphone microphones, the PC 360's is probably the best I have ever used (in terms of audio quality); this comes with a slight caveat though, which is the fact that the microphone can not be hidden; it can be pulled up (which also mutes the mic), but there is no sliding mechanism to hide it into the cup, nor is the microphone detachable. The microphone, thus, doesn't look great for usage outside, with its huge microphone sitting next to the left ear cup, but in terms of usability, it goes out of the way and is never a bother. The volume controls on the right ear cup follow a similar design philosophy, and are changed with a round dial, which is easy to get used to, and which never gets in the way.The headset is made of plastic, making the headset light, but without much of a 'premium feel'. However, after almost a full year of usage, the headset has not suffered from physical damage, after having been through numerous drops, and one house move. The ear pads also don't extend around the edges of the cups, and thus there is no extra wear-and-tear on the pads from pulling or rubbing; after almost a whole year of using the PC 360s every day, the ear pads are still firmly attached to the rest of the headset and show no signs of tearing off or coming loose at the edge where the ear pads connect to the ear cups (which has been an issue on almost every previous headset I've owned).The headset comes in a very minimalist and great-looking box, and has a long cable that is sure to be long enough for any computer set-up. If there is anything additional the headset could use, it is perhaps a detachable cable and the ability to switch out ear pads (seen on some newer headsets). Overall, though, the PC 360 is a great offering at its price, marrying Sennheiser's fantastic, rich sound with one of the best headset microphones on the market.

j'ai acheter se casque à la base car j'avait acheté un kotion each mais qui malheureusement me détruisé les oreille j'ai donc chercher un casque avec une aussi bonne précision de sont que j'avait eu avec celui ci mais malheureusement je suis un peut déçu car on sait si le sont vient de gauche ou droite ou en face ou dérrière, alors que mon ancien casque était vraiment abuser limite, en jeux j'avait comme un Wall hack car je savait d'ou venait les énnemis avec précision 15 mètre autour du personnage je me dit que ces bien dommage vue le prix car le kotion Each G800 coûte seulement 25 euro, acheté 17 grace au reconditionnement.Heureusement que j'ai put l'avoir à 100 euro ou je l'aurait tout de suite renvoyer.à part ça le sont est très bon avec de la musique, surtout quand ces instrumental les basse ne sont pas éxéptionnel non plus quand le sont est trop pousser sur les basse le son sature.La qualité du micro est excellente d’après un ami sur la plateforme discord on dirait ma voix naturellemais prévoyer une petite mousse de micro car il est difficile de ne pas s'entendre respiré par le nez si il est devant la bouche il peut être placer plus basApres sont grand point fort ces sont confort au début il sert un peut mais il se fait vite oublier personnellement j'ai l'impression d'être dans un coussinau niveau de la branche que l'ont pose sur la tête j'ai peur de la briser en deux car je doit tiré verre l'extérieure pour le poser sur mes oreille et ce n'est pas très souple, de plus cela mes déjà arriver avec un Cyborg FREQ 5 que j'ai du scotcher pour continuer à l'utilisé.L’accès au son sur le coter du casque et le fait de pouvoir désactiver le micro sans avoir à chercher plus loin que sur ces orreille ces une option qui m'avait grandement manquer après mon FREQ5en bref il ne vos pas sont prix même si il est quand même de bonne qualité, si vous rechercher comme moi de la précision sonore dans un espace passer votre chemin vous pouvait avoir mieux pour moins chère.

Dieses Headset habe ich als Blitzangebot für 99 Euro bestellt, um mein altes von Sharkoon abzulösen.Die schnelle Zusammenfassung: Es ist ein anständiges Gaming-Headset mit anständigem Klang und Mikro. Der tonale Unterschied zu anderen Headsets der gleichen Preisklasse, so wie es mein Sharkoon gewesen ist, ist subjektiv jetzt nicht übermäßig groß, aber es klingt schon besser als alle meine alten von 0-100 Euro, möchte ich behaupten. Bei 200 Euro kann man dann aber wohl tatsächlich fast eher zu HiFi-Kopfhörer + zusätzlichem Mikro greifen.Die Verarbeitung ist ok, das Mikro zum Hochklappen finde ich super. Eine bessere Lösung für einen Mute-Button gibt es wohl nicht. Hoffentlich ist die Haltbarkeit dieser Funktion dauerhaft gegeben.Mein erster Höreindruck war erst euphorisch, dann ernüchternd. Ein Klappern im linken Hörer bei Frequenzen zwischen 60 und 100 Hz (meine ich) trübte das Hörerlebnis, nachdem ich zunächst in einem Spiel von der Räumlichkeit und dem "Mittendrin"-Gefühl begeistert gewesen bin. Also wirklich begeistert. Eine Runde World of Tanks und ich hatte das Gefühl in einem bombastischen Gefecht zu sein, obwohl der Bass des Kopfhörers jetzt nicht unbedingt Bäume umwirft.Also Headset umgetauscht, dank Amazon ein problemloser Vorgang.Das Austauschprodukt hat das Problem fast nicht. Bei einem übertrieben basslastigen Video habe ich es minimal bemerkt. Ein Hauch von gerade wahrnehmbarem Klappern im linken Hörer. Beim normalen Hören von primär Elektro ist aber alles gut und das Problem ist auch nur einmal aufgetreten, von daher ist das kein Problem.Das Mikro scheint für ein Gaming-Headset sehr gut zu sein. Keinerlei Probleme im Teamspeak und guter Klang wurde gesagt.Ich persönlich hatte in den Soundtreibern ein wenig die hohen Frequenzen abgesenkt, da ich eher warm abgestimmten Klang mag. Das Extrem wäre für mich zu sagen, lieber dumpf als klirrend hoch, auch wenn das auch nicht ganz der Realität entspricht. Ich habe im Wohnzimmer ein Soundsystem von Q-Acoustics stehen, das ist auch eher warm abgestimmt aber hat saubere Höhen.Sennheiser klingen ja tendenziell eher warm, aber ich musste diese Einstellungen dennoch vornehmen. Persönliche Präferenz eben. Alles ab 4K Hz wird für mich abgesenkt.Der Widerstand des Headsets ist niedrig, am verstärkten Kopfhörer-Ausgang meiner Soundkarte (Soundblaster Z) ist das Headset viel zu laut, selbst bei Windows-Lautstärken von weit unter 30%. Am normalen 2.0-Ausgang aber alles gut.Es liegt noch ein Kabel bei, um aus dem getrennten Mikro- und Front-Stecker in 3,5mm einen einzelnen 3,5mm-Stecker zu machen (für Playstation zB, glaube ich).Meine Freundin hat vom Sofa gehört, wenn ich am PC lauter gehört habe. Das Headset ist offen, hat dadurch wohl eine gute Soundkulisse aber lässt eben auch Ton nach außen.Der Grund, weswegen ich es verschenkt habe und mir jetzt einen Sennheiser HD 599 und ein Antlion Mic Mod gekauft habe:Es ist sehr straff. Das PC 360 hat einen hohen Anpressdruck an den prinzipiell bequemen Ohrpolstern und das hat mit meinem breiteren Kopf nicht so sehr harmoniert.Ich habe sogar leicht schmerzende Kiefermuskeln davon bekommen. Dass ich Brillenträger bin, hat dabei nicht so viel ausgemacht. Also: schmalerer Kopf und Brille sollte kein Problem sein, oder wenn generell eine Unempfindlichkeit gegen so etwas vorliegt. Aber ich bin eh sehr empfindlich bei allem, was mit der Kiefermuskulatur zu tun hat (CMD-Patient).Eine Rezension für den Sennheiser HD 599 Kopfhörer ist noch ausstehend.

Had these on my watch list for some time and when they came in at some crazy low, less than half price kind of deal, I hit the "take my money" button without any hesitation.I have used Sennheisers for ~20 years now and am a big fan for music, gaming and work. I have in-ear as well as full size headphones ... my whole family use them and I have to admit I do try to push the bar with each new pair I buy ... and these just take things to a whole new level.I have some ~10 year old HD 515's which still work perfecly and I always thought sounded amazing, but the rich base and unbelievable clarity of these 360's really is quite stunningly pleasing ... makes my older 515's sound almost muted and muffled, which I never thought possible, but when compared back to back, you really do hear a huge difference.I actually just wanted a comfortable and decent headset with a microphone for long work skype calls etc, but these have totally replaced my old 515 headphones for everything, including music, gaming etc ... 2 into 1 / PS4 connector is a great addition as it matches nicely and very useful on laptop, telephone, tablet etc ... and of course PS4's.Other notes ...- volume control is really useful, especially when switching between different apps such as music and skype calls - can increase or decrease volume very quickly, especially useful if something kicks in super loud- microphone is excellent, lots of clarity and very sensitive, lifting up mutes it and has enough adjustment fore and aft to get comfortable or avoid breathe on microphone issues.- "Open ear" means that you can hear yourself talk so don't end up shouting, and can also carry on conversations with other people in the room quite naturally without having to remove them ... although the open ear does mean that when you crank the volume up other people also hear what you are listening to ... so would not say its good for public transport or loud areas (need something more noise cancelling oriented for that)- these require a little more "driving" than other headphones (ie lower headphone volume for any given volume level on your devices). Not found an issue yet where the device cannot supply enough volume to them, but worthy of a note, and hardly any sacrifice when you consider the sound quality of these beauties.- sadly Sennheiser do not supply a bag with these, luckily I have an old one, but would be nice, especially if anyone is paying full price for them. (would prefer a bag over the fancy packaging, which tbh is pretty useless unless you want to store your headphones in them every day (but then you would need to collapse the "headband" to its smallest settings to get them back in the box each time)- ear pads and foam is REALLY lush, almost feels wrong its so nice. I wear these for hours on end - they remain comfortable and do not cause overheating or any kind of sweaty ear syndrome.Summary ... forget all your "gaming" brands with their high price gimmicky "base-boost" blah blah and marketting hype - Sennheiser do one thing, and they do it amazingly well ... they make fantastic sounding headphones.At full price they are good, but if you find these on a half price deal like I did, then do not think, be like nike and "just do it!"
