Sennheiser PC160 Gaming Headset review

Sennheiser is a brand well known for audiophile-quality gear. While the company has a reputation for high-end audio-only products, it’s now branching out into things like computer headsets. Even in this area, it’s looking to make its products the best of the best - this headset has been designed for pro-gaming in conjunction with SK-Gaming, one of the world’s top pro-gaming clans.

In terms of audio quality, the headphones are pretty darned good, far better than the Plantronics. They’re not what you’d call high fidelity, but they are perfect for gaming, with strong, boomy bass that is great for recreating the gun battles on screen. However, the high end is definitely a little lacking and if you intend to listen to any music with these, you won’t be able to hear the subtle nuances in music by artists like Wishbone Ash or Lemon Jelly, but you’re sure to get a rocking experience out of Green Day and Funeral for a Friend. These are not headphones for the dedicated music listener, but they are pretty decent nonetheless.
