Review: I've used this headset for around 4-6 weeks now and I'm very happy with it. I'm a glasses wearer and was after a new gaming headset. I had tried the Sennheiser GSP300 and liked them, but wanted something a bit nicer, with a removable cable. The GSP500s are very comfortable, however my situation isn't well suited to open backed headphones. The GSP600s meet these requirements well. I have worn them for full days working from home, or hour long gaming sessions with and without glasses and only occasionally had comfort issues (and not to do with the comfort over glasses, but rather the headset itself, but I find you get this with any pair of headphones after long enough). The sound quality is very good, whether on my PC (through a Creative Soundblaster X G6 amp), Nintendo Switch, my work laptop (for calls) or my phone for music or calls. I wouldn't recommend taking the headset out and about as it is bulky for that. The microphone is very convenient, the quality is also very good (better than most gaming headsets I've heard). One great feature with the Sennheiser headsets is that the microphone is muted by rotating it upwards, a very useful feature I'd now miss if it wasn't there. The volume dial on the side is also very useful, if a little stiff at first. It also suffers from something all analogue volume dials I've used in that there are certain points in the rotation where sound doesn't come out of both channels - though this is easily rectified by rotating slightly further in either direction. Like with the rotate-to-mute mic, the volume dial on the earcup is another feature I'd miss, having had it here. The removable cable isn't an essential feature, but it does give me piece of mind that if I break the jack end, I can swap it for the other cable, or buy a new one. I currently use the 4-pole cable (mic and sound combined into one) as my soundcard supports it, and the cable is shorter. However it's nice to have both options in the box. The adjustments on the headset are decent, you can change the height of the earcups as with most headphones, they also angle to the shape of your head when you put them on which works well. There is some adjustment on the headband, which I think changes the amount of weight on the top of your head, vs the clamping force of the earcups. I'm not entirely sure, but there is perhaps some difference in feeling when you change it from one extreme to the other. All in all, a great headset, especially for glasses wearers. I would buy it again.
