I love the headset, but the only problem is sometimes the mic picks up the noise coming out of your headset. Honestly, I should've realised this since it's an open back headset, but you'll have to finely tweak a few settings before it's perfect

Today we are reviewing our very first gaming headset and we have chosen to start with Sennheiser's G4ME ONE. Sennheiser's current flagship gaming headset is the G4ME Zero which we hope to take a look at next but for...

Good Build Quality; Clean Audio; Comfortable

No Noise Cancellation (open back); Pricey For Features

I don't know who first set the precedent that a black-and-red color scheme translates to "awesome, and maybe a little bit evil," but I'd like to tip my hat to that person. The Sennheiser Game One headset ($250) is a slick black peripheral with just enough shiny red highlights to turn heads.

Looks awesome; Good in-game sound; Quality mic

Not very comfortable; So-so music performance; Way too expensive

I tired these for a while as a friend owns them. I have the Game Zeros and I actually like those a bit better than these. These game ones sound closest to my HD555's for gaming. They have a fairly flat and neutral sound with a decent little bass hump that makes explosions sound good in games.

- Great gaming sound, Great mic; Rediculously comfortable, excelent build

- Sort of veiled sound

The Sennheiser G4ME ONE is a pair of excellent $200-range headphones that desperately wants to be an excellent gaming headset. It sounds fantastic, but without it willing to "slum it" in the realm of audio gimmicks and on-headset mixing it feels more like a pair of headphones with a boom mic priced...

Excellent sound reproduction; Very comfortable

Expensive; Flimsy feeling for the price; Lacks EQ modes to boost voice chat or surround effects in games

and Sennheiser G4ME One. We looked at the closed-back Zero recently and found it offered excellent clarity, comfort and usability but its weak bass delivery wasn't the most universally appealing – not to mention, it's pretty pricey too.

When purely looking at the audio response of the Sennheiser G4ME One, it's easy to find a lot to like here.

Balanced sound; Excellent microphone; Easy volume and mute; Comfortable & lightweight

Expensive; Too plasticky; No bundled accessories

Sennheiser has transferred its excellent acoustic knowledge of headphones to gaming headsets for several years now. Its latest top of the range offerings come in the form of the closed-back Sennheiser G4ME Zero and the open-back Sennheiser G4ME One, which we are looking at here.

Good-looking; Excellent audio performance; Solid noise-cancelling mic; Well-built

Expensive; Lacks included connectors for PS4

The Sennheiser G4ME ONE Gaming Headset arrived in a fairly large predominately white sleeved box with a rather simple, but elegant design, which aptly describes the headset itself too.

Although it doesn't look the part, the Sennheiser Game One is a serious gaming headset with great sound quality and a class-leading microphone. Its price is hefty, but you do get excellent performance in return.
