Sennheiser GSX 1200 Pro Gaming Amp Review

When it comes to gaming audio, most people are content to either run a gaming headset through their motherboard's in-built DAC, or use the headset's own DAC if it connects via USB. Sennheiser is looking to change that with its GSX series of dedicated gaming amplifiers.

Chat links works well; Excellent virtual 7.1; Neat and easy to use; Only an extra £20 over the GSX 1000

£219.95 isn't cheap; Noise cancelling technology adds a robotic twang to speech

Really cool and slick design

Really cool and slick design, just feels pleasant and cool when you can adjust volume and change settings on the go as well as switch from stereo to surround. Though i would not say that this gadget brings something more than that.

You'll forget you are wearing a headset.

I sometimes forget I am wearing headphones at all, the sound quality is that fantastic. I combined the gsx with the seinheiser headphones.

Great 7.1, absolutely terrible everything else. Not worth.

3 stars means "it's ok", but "ok" is not good enough when the product is this expensive. The 7.1 toggle is done well, but every other feature on this device is lack-luster at best. Your mic will have a noticeable decrease in quality when plugged in because the GSX performs extra noise compression.
