5.0 out of 5 stars Great headset !
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2011

I've been using these for just under 3 weeks nows, and they're great! I was looking for a headset that would give great directional queues in gaming, but sound great playing music and movies too, i'm pleased with the PC360. Theres definately a noticable improvement when listening to music/watching movies with these over my speakers and other headphones/headsets, which is great, but I mainly chose the PC360s for better gaming directional audio. In the games that can deliver directional audio, I can distinguish sound coming from 12'o'clock appart from that coming from 2'o'clock directions pretty easily. On some games its much more accurate, like on Killing Floor, i can locate enemies in a forest with sounds alone using this headset.

The mic works well, it gets muted when the mic's 'boom arm' is lifted up, and activates when the mic is lowered, whilst giving a nice little click to let you know when the mic has been muted/unmuted. The earcups are large and rimmed with a nice velvet-like padding. The headband also has some velvet padding, and can be adjusted to fit very big heads. I have the headbands set on the 8th 'notch' on the left and right earcups and it fits very nicely - there are up to 18 notches on both sides. The build seems really sturdy so far, i've dropped the PC360's several times and trodden over the wire with both my chair AND the desk - i've also accidently pulled on the wire (stepped on the wire then stood up xD), yet the headset still performs without flaws. The wire is easily long enough (over 2m it looks like). The earcups use an open-ear design, they DO let sound in and out, though i've not found this to be a problem. The headset in reallly comfortable, I've can wear it for hours and not be affected by it, they're pretty light too. Volume control is also very convenient with the headset, there's a volume dial on the right earcup which can adjust the vol from 100% down to around 25% - which i've found to be super helpful. The PC360s do everything I wanted them to do. The only negative I can think of is that the wire could have been shorter, but I don't mind it at all. The PC360 is a great headset.

I planned on getting a soundcard with a dedicated amp along with the PC360, but ended up getting the PC360 alone. They're plugged into my onboard lineout (P5QL Pro mobo), and they get driven nicely. The PC360's aren't hard to drive, I can plug them into my PSP and still get a very decent volume with good quality sound. I'll be getting a soundcard soon (most likely the Xonar Essence STX) and i'll update this review once i've tested out the PC360's with the better audio source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Headset you can buy - for discerning gamer with virtual surround
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2013

My cheap usb headset fell apart so I went looking for a decent headset that I could use comfortably with my pc for hours and have decent sound quality, I also wanted to use 'dolby headphone' virtual surround sound from my sound card. This is a long review but in short these are great package for these needs.

Firstly they are comfortable and feel well built. In terms of audio quality they are worth the price. The mic is as good as it needs to be, if a little big. The audio reproduction precise and these are from the 'reference' side of the spectrum. This means they are well balanced and have great detail reproduction across the whole range, but will not have quite the punch or sparkle anywhere in particular that some models offer. Saying that they never distort with any content, they respond well to a little tweaking with the equaliser, and will go as loud as you should ever really go. They are not as precise as my similarly priced shure se-420 in-ear earphones, but no headphone could be at this price. Equally, my friends have closed-ear headphones that offer more punch in bass for hip-hop etc but can't match the detail in the mids. Overall for music they are decent for a wide range of genres, with the occasional tweak. They do sound 'thin' compared to my Teufel Motiv 2 pc speakers, but it only takes one look at the subwoofer to understand why.

I love the open ear design. The sound sounds more open and natural, and reduces that fatigue you get when sound is pummelled into the side of your head, which appears to come from nowhere. The sound leakage is obviously worse than closed designs but unless someone is reading a book right next to you I don't think it's that bad at all.

I've been listening to 5.1 and 7.1 content using virtual surround sound 'dolby headphone' on my soundcard. I don't bother myself with consoles but these work well in stereo, to get the dolby system you would have to run them through a headphone amp. This works with some fancy algorithms to simulate a 'room' with the positional speakers in the appropriate positions. Some people report a lot of reverb or similar artifacts using this system, but I stick to the 'reference room' and have no such problems with my setup. You can choose larger virtual rooms with less 'damping', but I'd rather have my processing subtle rather than overt. Don't mistake this system with those daft 'concert hall' style effects, this is much smarter than that (although this soundcard can do such things) The results on blu ray content are staggering really giving you that cinema experience with massive immersion, dymanic range, and a real feeling of being in the audio space. The same is true with games, with both 5.1 and 7.1 content. The step up from stereo really is a whole new level of immersion. You can upmix stereo content to 7.1 which is not what this was designed for but this does sound better at times. Remember content is mixed for loudspeakers in a room, and sometimes some stuff sounds better and is more comfortable when listening in the 'virtual room.'

This virtual surround sound will obviously never substitute a full 7.1 loudspeaker setup. It does offer a lot more positional awareness that straight stereo but obviously a true setup would be better. The immersion and sound quality is a good as the cinema though. I think there are few headsets that offer true surround sound with multiple drivers in each ear. Firstly just because they have drivers for each channel doesn't mean the crosstalk engineered properly within the earcup to simulate a much larger environment. The Razer Tiamat has 10 drivers at a similar price point, apart from the fact they look like they have been designed by a 10 year old I'm not convinced that you could effectively pack 10 drivers in there without considerable compromise. I've recently moved away from their pumped-up mice something more elegant and better built, so I haven't really considered them. I think the Tritton AX Pro is similar, and I've heard the sound quality is not good.

I'm running these with Asus Xonar D2. If you are buying these I would go for a high end card, although people report good results with the cheaper Xonar's. I wouldn't even bother with onboard audio. You can get 363 model that comes with a USB sound card, but I'd just get an internal one for the price. As far as I know this is the best Headset you can get. If you want something better you would need separate headphones and microphone. I imagine you would need a full size headphone jack that comes in the Xonar Essence STX or a suitable headphone amp. You're probably looking at a lot of money for significant improvement. So overall, great product

3.0 out of 5 stars Average Sound, Good Mic, Overpriced
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2010

I was expecting the pc360 to have the same sound quality as the HD555 or HD595 because everywhere around the internet you'll find people saying they are the same because it uses the same drivers.
Don't believe a word of it!

They do have a handy volume control on the right ear-cup and the mic is great, but the sound quality is no where near as sharp as the HD555/595

Lets get this into perspective, they are better than most headsets but they are also a lot more expensive. And for that kind of price I would expect an 'audiophile' standard of sound and this headset definitely does not have it.

I have given it 3 stars for being a comfortable, sturdy headset but its overpriced for what it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un excellent casque, même après 10 ans
Reviewed in France on 29 May 2024
Verified Purchase
Je possède ce casque depuis presque 11 ans désormais et je dois dire que j'en suis toujours satisfait ! La qualité du son et du micro étaient de haut niveau à l’époque et restent largement suffisants aujourd'hui.
Le confort est là et le casque englobe bien les oreilles. Il n'est pas lourd non plus (pour moi en tout cas) et se fait vite oublier.
On peut régler le volume via une petite molette sur le côté droit et le micro se coupe automatiquement dès qu'on le relève. Je regrette juste qu'il n'y ai pas un bouton pour le couper manuellement sans avoir à le relever.

Au fil des années, le seul soucis que j'ai est que le micro ne tient plus très bien en position relevée et un léger mouvement de tête vers l'avant a tendance à le faire tomber devant le bouche. Mais autrement, à part cela (et les mousses des oreillettes qui sont usées mais c'est normal après autant d'années), rien à redire dessus.

La seule chose que je changerais en prenant un nouveau casque ça sera de m’orienter vers un casque fermé et non pas un casque ouvert comme celui-ci. C'est relativement pratique pour entendre ce qu'il y a autour de soi, mais dès qu'on met le son un peu fort, on entend absolument tout ce qui est diffusé dans le casque presque comme si on l'avait sur la tête. Si on est tout seul, ça ne gêne pas vraiment. Mais dans le cas où on est sur le PC tard le soir et qu'on ne souhaite pas réveiller tout le monde juste parce qu'on joue à un jeu avec pas mal d'action ou qu'on écoute de la musique un peu forte, ça peut vite devenir problématique.

En tout cas, Sennheiser reste une excellente marque qui fabrique de très bons produits. Mais je pense que pour mon prochain casque, je m'orienterais sur quelque chose qu'encore plus haut de gamme pour vraiment profiter d'une qualité sonore encore supérieure.

Reviewed in Italy on 7 July 2013

Il prodotto e' indicato al giocatore che in un solo prodotto vuole anche cuffie di alta qualita'. Il microfono ha una qualita' molto buona, seconda solo a microfoni discreti. Su alcune schede sonore o dispositivi di registrazione puo' non servire il Mic Boost.
Il comportamento dinamico e' neutro, tutta la gamma fino a 120/110hz ha un'ottima presentazione anche a poche ore di rodaggio e non risulta mai distorto o metallico ad alte frequenze.
Le cuffie non isolano dal mondo esterno, ma basta poco volume per immergersi nel suono.
Temperatura e comfort sono buone anche dopo ore ed ore di gioco/ascolto.
La resistenza di 50 Ohm puo' obbligare ad usare piu' volume di quanto ci si e' abitutati con altri sistemi/cuffie. Sconsiglio di utilizzarle con splitter.
Il compagno perfetto per queste cuffie sono schede sonore senza accelerazione come la Xonar Essence ST che ha OpAmp dedicati alle cuffie e alto rapporto dB/rumore, le schede sonore integrate non faranno esprimere queste cuffie al loro meglio.
Con una Xonar D2X i giochi sono risultati puliti e con grande potenza, da notare che il loro comportamento musicale e coi Bluray e' cosi' brillante che potrebbero essere adattissime anche a chi gioca poche ore (casual gamer).
Non puo' eguagliare un sistema 2.1 di alto livello a 3 vie con subwoofer dedicato, ma racchiude in un solo prodotto, bello, leggero, comodo una soluzione per giocatori casual e hardcore con la passione per l'audiofilia.
Per i giocatori senza questa passione il prezzo e' eccessivo, meglio accontentarsi di altro. Per gli audiofili non giocatori che hanno bisogno di cuffie ci sono prodotti dedicati migliori.
Consiglio le Sennheiser PC 360 a chiunque serva in un singolo prodotto un buon paio di cuffie che non stancano anche se indossate tutto il giorno.

Sound Quality
The only other open-back design headphones I own are some Grado SR60s. These Sennheisers blow them out of the water. Right out of the box they had great bass response but after hooking them up to my computer and letting them break in for ~100 hours over the course of about a week they sound incredible. I use these exclusively with my desktop computer and run them into my Logitech G110 keyboard which has audio and mic inputs. It then converts it to USB audio. This gives it a very clear sound and there is no buzzing or hissing common with the audio ports build into most motherboards these days. I see no need for a dedicated sound card as this combination is more than enough to power these headphones. The bass is great, not boomy and artificial like many headphones go for, but clear and powerful. Overall great sound that you will not be disappointed with.

The microphone is also great. I have used it for Skype and Ventrilo and people have commented on the clear sound quality. When you move the boom up, it will click when it is nearly vertical which means that the mic is muted. Very convient when you need to talk to someone physically next to you without wanting to broadcast your conversation to whomever you are talking to on the computer. The range of motion of the boom is enough so that you can find a sweet spot of being heard while not catching your breathing sounds.

Comfort
They are much more comfortable than my Sennheiser HD280s, which are my only other circumaural headphones right now. These have more than sufficient force to stay on your head while not squeezing your head like a vise. I have a larger than average head (hat size 7-7/8) and I don't even use the largest setting on these. The earpads are soft velour material and are very comfortable. Being open-back, your ears don't get hot and sweaty even after wearing them for hours at a time, something that I found to be very uncomfortable in closed ear designs.

Design
I'm not one to put too much stock into the looks of my headphones but these do look pretty good. The simple black color and rounded styling looks good on my head.

Functionality
The plug end of the cord splits into a Y shape and has connectors for both the mic and headphones separately. There is also a volume dial on the right earcup that lets you control the volume somewhat. It doesn't cover a 0-100% range of sound, more like a 50-100% range, meaning that if you max out the sound then turn the dial all the way down, your volume will still be at around 50% instead of completely off. I actually like this because when people talk to me I just dial down and can still hear them while being able to hear what I was listening to on the computer. It's much easier than changing over to iTunes or whatever program I'm using and turning down the volume there.

Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It's been almost 3 months since I've bought them and I've used them almost every day since then. The sound quality has improved as the drivers have burned in and nothing has broken or cracked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impresionantes. Difícil encontrar auriculares con mejor sonido
Reviewed in Spain on 19 September 2012
Verified Purchase
Auriculares de aspecto muy robusto, de un plástico duro y negro, similar al de otros modelos Sennheiser, con almohadillas de tacto aterciopelado, y una construcción muy sólida. Se adaptan a cualquier cabeza gracias a los extensores de la diadema y a las copas, que son basculantes.

Si obviamos el micrófono añadido y el color negro, su diseño es casi idéntico al de los Sennheiser HD 598.
Tienen un peso de 300g, lo que es bastante equilibrado y ligero para integrar micro y tratarse de gama media-alta.

Los he tenido puestos 5 horas seguidas en su primer día, y 4 horas seguidas el segundo. Me han parecido bastante cómodos. En ningún momento he tenido sensación de agobio, ya que pesan relativamente poco, y los auriculares, de tacto acolchado agradable, encajan en cualquier tipo de oreja.

En cuanto a calidad sonora... sin palabras: soportan un volumen bastante elevado sin distorsionar, reproducen la música con calidez, representan los diálogos de las películas de forma clara, y tienen pegada y precisión posicional en videojuegos, con unos graves potentes pero nada hinchados. MUY MUY BUEN SONIDO. 9/10.

Advertencia: Estos auriculares tienen un diseño abierto, es decir, para permitir "respirar" a la oreja, y para que el sonido no quede enlatado, este "escapa" de los auriculares, y por tanto, puede molestar a una persona que esté sentada a nuestro lado haciendo algo que exija concentración (leer un libro, por ejemplo). No son unos auriculares que te podrías poner en una biblioteca, pero tampoco molestan en absoluto en condiciones normales.

El micrófono cumple su función a la perfección, y la voz mejora bastante el de otras soluciones.

Están pensados para el mercado gamer de PC, es decir, el de aquellos que están sentados frente a un monitor. Por ello, el cable no es excesivamente largo, 3 metros en su máxima extensión. En su extremo termina en forma de Y, bifurcándose en un jack "line in" de 3.5mm para conectar al "line out" verde del PC y poder escuchar el sonido, y otro jack "mic in" de 3.5mm para conectar al "mic out" rosa del PC y poder hablar por el micrófono.

Es decir, si los queremos conectar al amplificador, necesitaremos un adaptador a jack de 6,35mm (apenas 3 euros en Amazon), y si queremos alargar el cable, necesitaremos un cable de audio estéreo extensor con jack hembra y jack macho de 3.5mm (apenas 5 euros en Amazon)unos auriculares polivalentes, que se disfrutan salvajemente con un amplificador home cinema, y que tienen otros muchos usos.

Los recomiendo a todos aquellos que quieran disfrutar de un buen sonido en cine y videojuegos. Son demoledores.

1) An meiner PS3 zusammen mit dem Astro wireless Mixamp 5.8
2) An meinem PC (leider nur mit einer Onboard Soundkarte)

Das Headset ist mit seinen 300g sehr leicht und ist sehr hochwertig verarbeitet. Die Polsterung an den Ohrmuscheln und unter dem Bügel ist weich und bequem. Da ich Brillenträger bin war ich sehr neugierig, ob die Bügel meiner Brille beim Tragen stören, aber dem ist Gott sei Dank nicht so. Die Polster geben den Bügeln sehr leicht nach und auch nach längerem tragen merkt man von der Brille nichts. Auch ist der Druck des Headsets auf den Kopf auch nach längerem Tragen noch sehr angenehm und zu keiner Zeit störend.

Gewicht und Tragekomfort gebe ich also 5 von 5 Sternen!

Kommen wir nun zum Sound. In erster Linie dient mir dieses Headset zum spielen und chatten / telefonieren (skype), sei es an der PS3 oder am PC. Der Sound ist phänomenal! Ich habe im Vorfeld viele Berichte gelesen und es in diversen Reviews mit dem Astro A40 verglichen. Viele waren der Meinung, das der Bass im 360 zu gering ausfällt, da es ein offenes Design hat, doch ich finde ich schon recht kräftig und vollkommen ausreichend. Sicher ist es schön wenn es ordentlich rummst, aber ich möchte auch noch andere Geräusche (in Shootern zB Schritte) hören und nicht nur das stumpfe rumgeballere. Der Sound an sich ist sehr ausgewogen und klar und im Gegensatz zu meinem vorherigen Headset (aus das ich hier lieber nicht weiter eingehen möchte ^^) ein richtiger Genuss.
Betrieben am Astro Mixamp kommt es an der PS3 zur vollen Geltung. Das orten von Schritten funktioniert extrem gut. Generell ist der virtuelle Surround Effekt wie ein Mittendrin-Erlebnis, sei es nun in Shootern oder bei Skyrim.

Am PC konnte ich den virtuellen Surround leider nicht testen, da meine eigentliche Soundkarte derzeit defekt ist. Dennoch ist auch über den Onboard Chipsatz die Soundwiedergabe sehr gut, wenn auch nicht ganz perfekt, was aber eher an der Soundkarte liegt. Im Vergleich zu meinem vorherigen Headset jedoch ein Quantensprung :) Auch das Mikro ist einwandfrei. Über Skype konnte man mich immer Glasklar verstehen. Auch die Lautstärke Regelung an der Ohrmuschel und das Stummschalten des Mikrofons beim hochklappen gefallen mir sehr gut. Ich fand die Kabelfernbedienung der meisten anderen Headset immer ein wenig nervig, da ich für meinen Teil nie direkt zugriff hatte sondern immer erst am Kabel "suchen" musste bis man mal die Lautstärke regeln bzw. das Mikrofon Stumm schalten konnte. So ist es sehr intuitiv gelöst und man wesentlich schneller reagieren. Einen kleinen Kritik Punkt gibt es von meiner Seite nun aber doch noch: Man kann die Lautstärke an dem Headset direkt nicht auf 0 drehen, sondern hat immernoch ca 20% Restlautstärke. Ist an der PS3 nicht ganz so tragisch, da ich die Lautstärke Regulierung eh über den Mixamp mache aber am PC kam es schon vor, das ich es etwas störend fand. Nichts desto trotz kein wirklich großes Manko und ich gebe hier auch noch 4,5 von 5 Sternen.

Zusammenfassend kann ich nur sagen, das sich das Headset für mich mehr als gelohnt hat und ich den Kauf nicht bereut habe. Die nicht auf 0 reduzierbare Lautstärke ist eigentlich zu vernachlässigen und somit fällt mein Urteil auf 5 von 5 Sternen! :)
