The EPOS Sennheiser GSP 600 are straightforward wired gaming headphones. Their boom microphone offers great recording quality, so your voice is clear and natural, even if you're gaming in a noisy setting. You can flip the microphone up to mute it, too. Also, you can adjust the clamping force on the headband to get a more comfortable fit. While they have a pretty neutral sound profile, these headphones have an underemphasized bass response, and they don't have any companion software or customization features available.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The EPOS GSP 600 are good for neutral sound. They have a pretty neutral sound profile that reproduces vocals and lead instruments clearly and with detail. However, they lack emphasis in the bass range, so you don't feel some of the thump or punch in your audio. Unfortunately, there aren't any sound customization features available.

Pros
  • Great imaging performance.
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • No sound customization features.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The EPOS GSP 600 are disappointing for commute and travel, though they aren't really designed for this use. While they're comfortable, these bulky headphones aren't very portable, and you can't remove their boom microphone for a more casual look. They can block out mid and treble range ambient noises like people talking around you, but unfortunately, they can't block out bass-heavy sounds like bus and plane engines.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Struggles to block out bass-heavy background noises.
  • Not very portable.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The EPOS GSP 600 aren't designed for sports use. These gaming-oriented headphones have a bulky design, and you might accidentally snag their audio cable on equipment at the gym. While they're comfortable, they aren't stable enough to stay on your head during intense workouts. They also don't have any call or music-related controls, which can disrupt the flow of your workout.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Not stable enough for workouts.
  • Not very portable.
0.0
Office 

The EPOS GSP 600 are fair for office use. These comfortable headphones don't leak much audio, and escaping noise shouldn't be too noticeable in a typical office. They can also block out office background noise like coworkers chatting around you or the hum of computer equipment. However, you can't remove their mic for a more casual look, which can be disappointing.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Not very portable.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

These headphones are wired-only, so they aren't suitable for wireless gaming.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The EPOS GSP 600 are satisfactory for wired gaming. You can plug these headphones into your PC or PlayStation and Xbox controllers for full audio and microphone compatibility with negligible latency using their 1/8" TRRS cable. Their boom microphone can transmit your voice to your teammates clearly, even if you're gaming in a noisy place. Dialogue reproduces clearly; however, their audio reproduction lacks some bass, so you don't feel the thump and rumble in action-heavy games. There isn't any customization software, either.

Pros
  • Great mic recording quality.
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Struggles to block out bass-heavy background noises.
  • No sound customization features.
0.0
Phone Calls 

The EPOS GSP 600 are decent for phone calls. Their boom microphone makes your voice clear and detailed to whoever's on the other end of the line. The mic also has good noise handling capability, so your voice is transmitted clearly even if you're calling from a noisy place. However, they have mediocre noise isolation, meaning that you may be distracted by background noise during your calls.

Pros
  • Great mic recording quality.
Cons
  • Struggles to block out bass-heavy background noises.

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

    The EPOS Sennheiser GSP 600 are pretty straightforward wired gaming headphones. Their boom microphone has great recording quality, and it can separate your voice from ambient noise if you're gaming in a noisy place. They have a pretty neutral sound profile, though they lack some bass. Unfortunately, they aren't compatible with any companion software, so you can't customize their sound.

    Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset

    Track

    The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is marginally better for wired gaming than the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 600. The Logitech are more comfortable. Unlike the EPOS, they come with a virtual soundstage feature, and they have companion software with a graphic EQ to customize their sound. That said, the EPOS are better built, more stable, and they have better noise isolation.

    HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

    Track

    The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are slightly better for wired gaming than the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 600. The HyperX are more comfortable, and they have a better microphone performance. However, the EPOS are more stable, and they have better noise isolation.

    TOZO T6 Truly Wireless

    Track

    Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the TOZO T6 Truly Wireless or the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 600. The TOZO are truly wireless in-ears with a more stable fit and better noise isolation. They also have better frequency response consistency. That said, the EPOS are for wired gaming. These over-ears have a more comfortable fit, and they're better built. They also have a better mic performance. However, you can't use them wirelessly.

    HyperX Cloud II Wireless 2020

    Track

    The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II Wireless and the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 600 are gaming headphones designed for different uses. The HyperX are wireless headphones with a more comfortable fit. However, the EPOS are wired-only. They're more stable, with better noise isolation and leakage performances.
