That way, I get to intimately know their joys and failings. I've thrown high-res audio, outstanding gaming soundscapes, and hours of playtime at these headsets. I know audio and what makes for the best wireless headphones.
GAMER HEADSET TEST 2013 BLUETOOTH
I'm glad I'm seeing more headsets featuring Bluetooth connectivity since it frees up a USB slot that would be taken up by a wireless dongle, and you can connect your phone to them. But don't be surprised if you see some premium headsets offering literally hundreds of hours of battery life. At a minimum, 30 hours of battery life is a decent enough starting point. Ideally, you want something that can go for a few days on a single charge. And at this price, Sennheiser should have packed in extra cushion cups and a carrying case at the least.The two features that matter most in wireless gaming are battery life and wireless technology.
Even with the sound card disabled, the headset gives good output, but there are other headsets that give you richer audio for less money that come without any enhancements.

Verdictįor its price, the PC 363D gaming headset provides really good audio for gaming as well as other media with the Dolby enhancement. That said, the leakage occurs only towards the highest volume levels. You might wake up sleeping roommates or disturb anyone around you who might need some silence. The biggest problem, however, is sound leak. However, the bass output does become a bit feeble with the 7.1 option (even if the media is supported by all the channels). For First Person Shooter PC games, this is a brilliant accessory.
Once you switch on the Dolby Headphone, the sound card virtualises a rather humongous soundstage and the resultant 3D Surround Sound is quite impressive. The microphone is quite efficient in cutting out ambient noise, and my fellow gamers told me that the vocals are quite crisp. Suffice to say, the sound is very balanced and maintains clarity at even the highest volume level. The mids and highs too were perfect in every sense, making fired shots sound brilliantly clear. The bass is tight, deep and rich, and doesn’t give you one of those brain-melting reverberations in the process. While playing COD: Black Ops, I could feel the difference between this and the Astro A50, which I have used a lot during COD marathons. PerformanceĪnd once you fire up the audio, you know that this is a very expensive headset. The microphone, however, can still be disabled by just flipping it up (you get a faint click in acknowledgement). Strangely though, there’s no mute switch for the cans. Volume can be controlled by a dial that lies on the right earpiece. The sound card also comes with a switch, which you can flip to enable or disable Dolby Headphone. You can then choose the number of channels you want – 2, 4, 5.1 or 7.1, depending on up to how many channels your media supports.

To get the Dolby 3D surround, you’ve got to install a driver on your PC and plug in the 3.5mm jacks into the USB sound card, and in turn plug the USB into the PC. This means that by default, the two 3.5mm jacks (one for the cans and one for the mic) support only two basic channels as any regular headset would do. This new headset supports up to 8 Dolby channels (7.1), but it does so through a USB adapter that virtualises these channels. It’s fitted to the headpiece very efficiently and doesn’t feel even a bit flimsy. Also, the microphone boom is one of the most well designed ones that we’ve seen.

The 1.2m cable is fabric coated – we think that this reduces the chances of wired getting entangled and friction between wire and skin (or tables). That said, the headset fits very snugly over the head and the ear cushions sit softly enveloping the ears. I’ve seen headphones below this price (both gaming and non-gaming) that do well to conceal screw ports, or use leather cushioning in the headband and ear cups. Yes, the construction is premium grade plastic, but it still has those run-of-the-mill looks.
If anything, it looks like something you can purchase for about Rs 8,000-10,000. To be very honest, the 363D doesn’t actually look expensive.
GAMER HEADSET TEST 2013 PLUS
But does this new headset deliver performance worth its Rs 20k plus price tag? We pop these cans on and play a few rounds of Call of Duty to find out. And looking at the pricing of this new gaming headset from Sennheiser, I would not deny that. Gamers have always been the lot who are usually tagged as the heavy-spenders.
