Gamers want to be completely immersed in their game, where everything fades into the background and the world of the game becomes reality.  

For those chasing this ultimate thrill, Sennheiser has created the new GSP 500.

The newest addition to the audio specialist's acclaimed gaming range, the new open acoustic headset is so comfortable that you barely notice wearing it, while its incredibly realistic, natural sound places you at the heart of the action.

With improved ergonomics, microphone performance and exceptional durability, the GSP 500 ensure a brilliantly enjoyable gaming experience.

The GSP 500 features a new, improved open speaker system designed and manufactured by Sennheiser that delivers a natural sound performance, balancing excellent clarity with an enhanced low-frequency response that adds excitement to the gaming audio.

Specially positioned speakers within the ear cups channel the sound directly into the ears to ensure the best possible spatial representation and awareness of the gaming environment.

The new headset features a range of enhancements to ensure superior comfort - no matter your face shape or how long you play. Its advanced, 2-axis metal hinge system gives even more freedom of movement and improves the fit for a wider range of face shapes by pivoting smoothly to conform just as well to narrow or broad jawlines.

The GSP 500 is also easier to customize to suit different head sizes, thanks to an innovative adjustable contact pressure mechanism integrated into the headband. This can be adjusted to ensure the headset feels perfectly snug and secure without ever feeling too tight.

Wearing comfort is further enhanced by a more ergonomically shaped breathable ear pad design that mirrors the contours of the ear. The ear pads feature a soft fabric that has been carefully selected to provide a more pleasant, cooler feel.

In addition, it's open-back, ventilated earcups help to keep ears comfortable and cool during long gaming sessions.

The GSP 500 answers this need by placing every essential control immediately to hand.

Its broadcast quality, noise cancelling microphone provides crystal clear communication and can be muted by simply lifting the boom arm. Similarly, adjusting game audio on the fly is made quick and easy by the volume controls integrated directly into the ear cup.
