Today, EPOS and Sennheiser are updating their line of wired gaming headsets- the black, white and orange GSP 601 and the black, blue and orange GSP 602.
Sennheiser should be a familiar name among audiophiles, and while EPOS is currently working to make its own lineup of gaming peripherals, it made its name selling Sennheiser’s first attempts at making the best gaming headset. These included the excellent Sennheiser GSP 670 wireless cans and the similar but wired Sennheiser GSP 600. Now, EPOS and Sennheiser are launching two new versions of the co-branded GSP 600, with each focusing on new aesthetics that are less common among competitors.
The GSP 601 also comes with interchangeable copper side plates, if you'd prefer your headset's side plating to match the detailing on the boom mic.
The GSP 602, then, is the exact same thing, but with yet another new color scheme. Here, the side plating and boom mic are blue and black, while the ear cups are orange.
According to a press release, the goal with these two new designs is to “break the mold” of the "standard black-on-black motif."
While I can’t speak to the GSP 600, I’ve been using an open-back Sennheiser Game One for a few years now and easily find it among the most comfortable and high fidelity headsets I’ve used. Hopefully, the GSP 600-series maintains that reputation. We'll know soon when we get a pair in our lab.
The GSP 601 and GSP 602 are available now on EPOS’ website for $219.
