Gaming Headsets - Logitech or Sennheiser?

[chiptouz]

I am considering getting a new pair. Currently I am using the Logitech G35 and have for the last 5 years. Looking at the new Logitech g633/g933 and the Sennheiser PC363d/Game Zero/Game One. Is there anyone out there that has moved from the Logitech products to the Sennheiser products? I mostly use these for FPS and RPG (like The Division and Skyrim) games. They will most likely not be used by me for music/videos/movies.




Thanks!

For a game with such incredible sounds as Skyrim, i beg you to get a pair of good, normal headphones. GAMING Headsets can have good sound, but proper headphones at the same price as those Logitech's are just soo much better.

I've just been through some of the same process as you. and in short i would either chose Sennheiser G4ME ONE or ZERO. only difference is one is open the other is not. I had a pair of Roccat 5.1 Analog before and those Sennhesier was to me an order or magnitude better in sound.
But good sound is many things.
It also depends on your driver. the Sennheiser Zero series have a impedance of 150 ohms which requires a lot from your driver. some of the new high end MB's support up to 600Ohms impedance. (the Sennheiser ONE is bout 60 i think)

True that with a "headset" you do also cash out a little one the mic, so in essence as Eliasand says you'll get more for your money buying one without.
But as i said is not enough buying good headphones if your sound driver is crappy or the source is crappy.
also the Sennheiser have a higher frequency range. some might argue that you cant hear 20KHz and never 28KHz but what you'll need to know is that this is the max range, and distortion start at a lower frequency than that.

I my self ended up buying Sennheiser ONE plus a Sound Blaster Z

I have the g4me one headset, best "gaming" headset you can buy, it's used for my Xbox one as I then got some audio technica ad700x headphones for my pc as I have a blue snowball mic.

Sennheiser is way better than Logitech. Sennheiser has been involved in high-quality audio way before Logitech started making "gaming" headsets. I have the Sennheiser PC 363D for gaming and movies, and it's by far, the best headset I've ever used. I have Sennheiser HD 598 SE for music. The sound quality is amazing and I'm glad with my purchase. I don't know what your budget is but Sennheiser has four different gaming headsets and many other different kinds of headphones. From what I've found, Amazon is one of the cheapest retailers to find Sennheiser headphones.
