They do on Amazon, but they're an EPOS | Sennheiser collab now and are just as much as the PC38X (but better imo). I think other than the re-branding on the headset that they are mostly the same as the OG Game One.
r/sennheiser • I’ve used Sennheiser Game One for 11 years. Here’s my honest review. ->These are goated. I love my pair. I've bought and sold them a few times (even gifted one to someone) but I've compared them to the PC38X and preferred them over them every time. PC37X were great too since they were just the Drop re-brand of these. I have a pair that I use for gaming w/ a mic and use an Arya & HE1000 Stealth for just casual gaming/music listening. I have an H6 Pro Open and the sound quality and comfort isn't anywhere close to the Game One. I don't think they'll ever make a better open back gaming headset.
r/sennheiser • I’ve used Sennheiser Game One for 11 years. Here’s my honest review. ->Save some more money and get a Sennheiser game one headset. Might be an opportunity to get a sale after the holidays. I have had a lot of different ones and I always go back to my almost 10 year old game one the durability and soundstage are both really good.
r/buildapc • Looking for a good gaming headset with mic ->Since you want one with a microphone, the best I used under 200 Sgd was a Sennheiser Epos Game One. PC38x might be a better option and you should be able to get it under 200 on a regular sale.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • What is The Best Gaming Headphones in 2025? ->Game One was made when Sennheiser owned them. There is a huge quality difference, and it does not require a software. I am not suggesting other EPOS headsets.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • What is The Best Gaming Headphones in 2025? ->They're effectively the old Sennheiser Gaming One with some tweaks, which were, indeed, great headphones. No idea why Sennheiser stopped making them in favour handing most of the branding to drop and going about doing something else. I've got the GSP 600, PC38X and a H6 Pro - all these are similar and they're all great.
r/buildapc • best gaming headset in 2025 under $200 ->Why do these companies constantly use these crappy ear cups? If it's a premium headset, use velour. It's INCREDIBLY comfortable and seals in the sound great. I want a wireless set that can replace my legendary wired Sennheiser Game Ones.
r/FractalDesign • Fractal Design Scape - First Impressions ->11 years is a long time in today’s marketing-driven headphone and gaming headset market. When I say “gaming headset” I specifically mean one with a mic attached — nothing else. I’ve used the original **Sennheiser Game One** (2014) for 11 years now, and they’ve held up incredibly well. I play a lot — sometimes 6-7 hours at a time — and sort of semi-competitively back in the day. I’ve used them on Xbox with an Astro MixAmp Pro TR (which I kept after being tricked into buying an Astro headset many years ago). #TL;DR Comfort, durability, and sound quality have been unmatched for me for 11 years. I’d recommend the Sennheiser Game One to anyone — even second-hand in decent condition. They’re still better than the hyped **Epos PC38x** and the more modern **Epos H6PRO**. I’ve bought countless other headsets and headphones — but always end up coming back to the Game One. **And here’s why…** #DURABILITY I don’t baby my gear. I don’t keep it in a case. I toss it around. I’ve even slept with them on when earbuds weren’t available. Result: almost no wear and tear. The headband padding finally started coming loose after 10 years (a little glue fixed it). Probably my fault for not cleaning them well from dust and dirt over the years. Cable and ear pads? Still original. Never needed replacement. The fabric sleeve at the plug end of the cable has started to fray a bit (the actual rubber cable underneath is fine), but I’ve already bought a backup cable (that works fine) on eBay just in case. This one: https://www.amazon.com/ABLET-Replacement-Compatible-Sennheiser-Headsets/dp/B0CZST2KMH #COMFORT Very good, from my experience of having them on for 6-7 hours straight.. Maybe they feel slightly less comfortable than when they were brand new — but it could also just be my imagination. I still wear them for hours. The ear pads have probably flattened a little, because I can sometimes feel the inner driver housing or grill or whatever it is sitting close to my ears. Nothing major, though. And the clamp is still strong. #SOUND Again, I’ve tried so many other gaming headsets — from more expensive brands like **Audio Technica** to overpriced (and sometimes gimmicky) stuff from **Astro**, **Turtle Beach**, **Razer**, **SteelSeries**, etc. Then there’s the very hyped **Epos PC38x** (supposed to be basically the same as the Game One — hint: they’re not), and most recently the **Epos H6PRO Open** (back in the box after 10 minutes)… I keep looking, but nothing feels as good. Especially for sound-dependent multiplayer games like **Battlefield**. I can’t relax if the sound feels “off.” It honestly bugs me way too much and it doesn’t go well with my autism. Which is why I keep going back to the Game One. Watching a movie with bad sound is unbearable, right? Same thing here. These just sound alive. Fuller, warmer, wider. Like you’re hearing exactly what the game’s sound engineer wanted you to hear — uncompressed, with zero compromises. I’ve had some issues in **Black Ops 6** where spatial awareness felt worse, but that’s clearly a game issue, not the headset. No issues in any Battlefield games whatsoever and I’ve played them all. #The only alternative I’d recommend As I’ve made clear, I’ve tried many others, but the only other gaming headset I’d actually recommend is: **HyperX Cloud II** I bought the wired model around 2016, and honestly, I liked them a lot. Comfort, build, sound — all solid. But they’re not open-back, which I prefer for FPS games, so I gave them to my younger brother. Still, nothing has ever come close to making me as happy with the sound as the Sennheiser Game One. That’s my completely subjective opinion, of course — but the fact that I’m still taking the time to praise this headset 11 years later is probably a good indicator.
r/sennheiser • I’ve used Sennheiser Game One for 11 years. Here’s my honest review. ->It doesn't even have to be that complicated. I have the Sennheiser Game One set, which is basically just the HD 598s with a mic attached to it, so they sound great and microphone is crystal clear. Probably doesn't sound quite as good as your setup, but it's much less hassle. I tried the mod mic setup at some point years ago, and managing multiple wires was just frustrating enough for me to stop. Having an all in one set that I can just plug into my controller was the perfect solution for me after trying a few different wireless solutions that were never reliable enough in terms of connectivity or battery life.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->Don’t know if it’s just what I’m accustomed to but I’ve always much preferred the sound profile of the Corsair Void series more than any other gaming headset. Only contender for me was the Sennheiser Game One (slightly pricier) which I absolutely loved before I swapped out for a wireless headset.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Closed-back wired gaming headset recommendations? ->I had never looked at the headphones sub before... I just went and searched to see their opinion on the headset I use and really like (Sennheiser Game One), and they have two repeated complaints about it. First that it has too much bass. And second that it doesn't have enough bass.
r/dataisbeautiful • [OC] I analyzed 1 year of headphone recommendations on Reddit (2024–2025). These are the top 25 favorites. ->I’ve had my Sennheizer One headset for 8 years and it is still going strong, haven’t had to replace anything and no issues whatsoever.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
