BOTTOM LINE
Sure, it’s kind-of ugly—but Sennheiser’s new GSP
370 wireless headset sounds great, and it lasts for
weeks on a single charge. What else do you need,
really?

My only concern is that because the
battery lasts so long, when it does die it’ll
inevitably take you by surprise. When you get
in the habit of plugging in your headset every
night—or in the case of the A50, setting it on
the charging stand—you’re always certain it’s
ready to go. The GSP 370 won’t engender
those same habits.
When that is my biggest concern,
however, you can surmise that I have no
complaints. Hopefully others can follow
Sennheiser’s lead, because the bar for
battery life was just raised significantly.BOTTOM LINE
End of the day, I still wish Sennheiser would
rethink its design language. Boring, boxy, and
corporate. These are the charges I’ve leveled atthe GSP line for years now,
and nothing’s changed.
Sennheiser’s certainly got the
audio chops to challenge
Corsair, Razer, and even
Logitech. But the GSP line is
bland, if not outright ugly, and
a far cry from Sennheiser’s
more mainstream headphones
like the Momentum 3 or
many of its HD-branded
models—or even its alternative
gaming headset, the all-but-
abandoned Game Zero.
The GSP 370 scores
major points for its battery
life. Hell, it’s a minor miracle. And it sounds
great too! I only wish the aspects I liked
came in a more attractive package. Alas,
maybe next time.
