Many of those who enjoy their music, typically enjoy their gaming too, on some level. Perhaps it’s the technology, perhaps it’s the visuals… and maybe it’s the music? Whatever the reason, if you can find a way to combine hi-fi with gaming, you can guarantee it will be popular with everyone. It makes sense if you think about it, especially considering the effort most game developers put into the soundtracks these days – many of them are more immersive than film scores!
Ploughing your game through your hi-fi system is somewhat obvious, of course it will sound amazing through your amp and speakers. But what if you want to shield the other occupants of the house from the repetitive sound of gunfire obliterating zombies? 
They’ll do! The Sennheiser PC 373D Gaming Headphones are, as advertised, gaming headphones from Sennheiser’s acclaimed gaming headphone range. The PC 373D is the new and improved incarnation of the hugely popular PC 363D, widely regarded as the definitive set of gaming headphones by critics and gamers alike, so you know this particular release are going to be very special indeed.
Just from the bare facts alone, you know that these are headphones likely to provide a fully immersive experience. They’re 7.1 surround sound, which essentially means they emulate the full Dolby cinematic experience, with sound coming in from every angle – around, above and below. This epic immersion is powered by Sennheisers own high-end open acoustic technology, channelled expertly with the added advantage of full noise-cancellation. You won’t just feel like you’re playing the game.. you will be in the game, at least on a sonic level!
This surround sound benefits further from Sennheiser’s Transducer Technology, enabling you to hear every detail. This is essential for gaining a competitive edge in certain games, and one of the many reasons this head set is likely to be as popular with the competitive gaming industry as its forefather… maybe even more so!
There’s more to this pair of gaming headphones than the exceptional (and surprising) surround sound. It covers a number of bases, from effective muting from the raise of the state-of-the-art mic boom arm). It also features an easily adjustable software interface with three side tone settings, which basically means you chose how much you can hear of yourself… and what others can hear of you. No more shouting – which I’m sure the aforementioned occupants of your house will appreciate! Add the fact that how comfortable and easy-to-wear they are (essential for longer gaming sessions) and that they can even be used with music (a simple on/off will change the sound to “neutral”) seals the deal.
They’re a very good price too. All of the above, for a meagre £220. And no, that’s not a sale price. That’s just the price.
