excellent what's up guys Paul here today I'm going to be doing a review that's right a review of this sennheiser headset PC 360 so first off this headsets actually been out for quite some time now at least three or four years not currently available everywhere I've seen them come and go on Newegg this is like a little bit of a nostalgic review but if you are looking for newer versions of this sennheiser has come out with a PC 350 the game won the game zero and the PC 360 3 D which is the direct successor to this headset you can still find this one it's it was about $250 originally at retail but you can find it discounted at times I've seen it for as little as 150 bucks but that might have been more back around Black Friday time now as far as accessories there's really not a whole lot to speak of basically in the box you get the headset that's just about it you get a rubber cable here a rubber coated cable which is just shy of 10 feet long it's got gold-plated 3.5 inch microphone and headphone jacks there on the end and then for specifications you have a 15 to 20,000 Hertz frequently frequency response range 50 ohm impedance get a mic frequency response range of 50 Hertz to 16,000 Hertz and finally a 2 year manufacturer's warranty from Sennheiser now the headset itself physically speaking is fairly large which is good for me because I have a slightly larger than average head or so I've been told you also have 300 gram weight which is pretty lightweight also very flexible the plastic housing on the outside it does maintain a lot of flexibility and it's hollow on the inside so again fairly lightweight now it's still very sturdy though so very nice build quality throughout it's got sort of a matte black finish as you can probably see right there silver logos so you got like the sentence hi sennheiser name on the top as well as a game logo g4m e PC 360 there on the sides as well as a sort of an M lay there on one of the ear cups it's got an open design so that your cups here are open on the back which will let ambient noise through which means I can hear when my wife is calling for me while I'm playing video games you also got a bit of metal grilling there on the back of the ear cups and that adds a little bit of protection there for the drivers themselves and on the left ear cup over here as you can probably see is where the boom mic lives so the moon might first of all has a flip-up design so you can tuck it up there out of the way and it will tell when it's been tucked up out of the way and it will automatically mute itself which is pretty intuitive and keeps from you having to reach and find a mute button it has a glossy finish overall as well as a flexible point here at the center so you can sort of position it there to be closer to your mouth not a whole lot of flexibility but still better than nothing the right ear cut features this little knob here which is on ear volume control so you just reach up and twist that around to turn the volume up or down I find it's very intuitive once you get used to the placement and much much much preferred to an inline sound control mechanism because I really don't like those they just tend to get in the way the your caps themselves are large XXL according to Sennheiser they are oval-shaped which works out pretty well very very nice soft velvety fabric covering all of them and it's padded so it'll form around your ear I find they're extremely comfortable there's more plush fabric up here on the top of the headrest and I managed to wear these for hours and hours without even really noticing that they're even there so a very nice design overall very comfortable and that's really what you're looking for in a headset is the comfort level so you can wear them for long periods of time while you're gaming as far as sound goes I want to point out that I'm not really what you would call an audiophile as as I guess they like to call themselves these are probably the nicest headphones or headset that I have actually had the chance to have extensive listening experience with so these are kind of acting as my zero points or so to speak when it comes to talking about headsets or headphones but basically I've been testing these with the an Asus Xonar Phoebus sound card well I've been using them extensively with an Asus Xonar Phoebus sound card I would recommend using a sound card with these headsets or maybe a nice external deck because that's where you're going to get the best experience particularly over onboard sound but they have very solid bass it's detailed of that necessarily being muddy or overpowering it's not that crazy super bass you get with some headsets but that is to my preference I don't like overpowering bass I like to be able to hear all the different sounds mids are fantastic as well excellent reproduction of like vocals and acoustics acoustic guitar in particular I really really like listening to on this headset and the highs are bright without being too tinny or washed out or anything like that so excellent excellent sound overall and lastly this review would not be complete without a microphone test so here it is I am testing the microphone on the sennheiser headset pc 360 and that is going to wrap it up for this video guys once again this has been the Sennheiser headset PC 360 a bit more higher-end gaming headset but if you have the money to afford it definitely some fantastic performance particularly if you're working with a discreet sound card if you'd like to purchase this particular head settle post a link
