There is a pretty good deal atm on this headset and been thinking about getting my first wireless headset for a while. Am curious about how it runs on Linux, as I’ve seen some controversy on this headset on website that shall not be named, but that was 3 years ago now. I dont expect to be running their propriety software for equalizing sound - but would like to know if the headset performs as it should out of the box and if the additional sound system works well. If anyone has any experience with this i’d be more than happy to hear about it. Other headset recommendations welcome to (wireless though) :)
thanks for sharing your experience, this is something I’m always afraid of when it comes to these companies.
The GSP 370 looks like something for me, as I am currently rocking the Game One From Sennheiser/EPOS(before they split i believe). These have been wonders for me, but want to move to the wireless space. Battery and comfort are my two main concerns and the GSP 370 seem to be good on this front. I’ll do some more digging - but at first glance they seem more difficult to get hold of due being discontinued in most stores in my country. I’ll have a look around to see what I can find.
The 370 is their best model, IMO, simply due to the bonkers battery life and sleep behavior. The other models require more frequent charging. I hope you can find a pair.
I literally haven’t used the power switch on mine, except to turn them off and on to reset the connection sometimes.
I do not turn them off, they automatically sleep when audio isn’t being played, and they will instantly wake when receiving an audio signal. Like you can’t tell they aren’t just on 24/7, I just put em on like a wired set and don’t think about it, and they will last WEEKS when used this way.
Whenever they notify me that the battery is low, which they do infrequently enough to ignore without getting annoyed for the rest of a gaming session, I plug em in when I’m done playing for the day. After which they’ll be ready for another week (or more) of use without any thought beyond what you’d give a wired set.
Yeah, that aspect of the headset + the comfort seem very good! However, from the digging I’ve done now it seems the microphone quite subpar, not sure what your experiences are with this. In addition, the charging port is not USB-C, which is a slight turn-off as I am trying to keep everything to USB-C these days. Not a massive negative, and fair considering its an older model, but a notable thing for me at least.
I’ve found a pair for $162.76, not a bad price, though from a second hand market but completely unused, box still sealed.
Edit: Watched more videos about the mic now, doesn’t sound as bad as I initially thought…
The mic sounds fine. You can find samples online, ofc, but people have never complained that I’m unclear or quiet. It’s not as good as the wired sets, and I think that’s down to the wireless connection, but it serves the purpose of communication, and doesn’t pick up on too much background noise, either.
The charge port not being USB C is unfortunate, but my G915 keyboard is also still micro usb.
Unfortunately neither peripheral has a newer equivalent that is as good.
Yeah, comes at a cost - I still might get these though, seem exactly what I need, and I really just want something that works out of the box with no additional software needed.
