Design & Build
The GSP 601 headset has been designed to give gamers a truly immersive experience. The headset has noise cancellation and fantastic sound quality that makes every gaming session as immersive as it can be. The Sennheiser moniker has always had a modest aesthetic, but some color has been added with the new GSP 601. The EPOS GSP 601 delicately balances their colour offering, and rather than having colour combinations; the developers have selected an inverted white base coupled with some black highlights.
The headset is mostly made of plastic; however, it has an industrial feel to it, which acts as a perfect pair to the metallic gloss. The colors have been perfectly paired to make a statement. The headset comes with a microphone that sticks out rather than being hidden away. The microphone looks tremendous and performs rather well, considering its size.
The braided cables that come with the Epos headset allow you to connect them with any device with a 3.5mm output. The cables come in two versions, and they both contain a 2.5 mm jack on the plastic shroud connecting to the headset. On the other end, you will find one with a single 3.5mm jack and the other one with two 3.55mm jacks splitting the audio input and the microphone input.
The build quality for EPOS GSP 601 is excellent, and it has a weight that speaks quality immediately you unwrap it for the first time. Moreover, the hinges have been exceptionally well built, and they only move when you need them to move. They also do not have any rattling, and they do not get loose by themselves. The microphone’s arm is significantly light and effortless while moving it, and at the same time, it is very secure and rarely imposes on the face too much.
Features
The EPOS GSP 601 Gaming Headset is known for being feature-rich in its lack of features. The headset has ease of compatibility as it allows one to use a 3.55mm cable rather than having a feature such as Bluetooth. This means that you do not need a battery, you do not have to charge it, and you do not require USB cables; all you have to do is plug in, and the headset starts working. EPOS GSP 601 has a passive power, and this means that there is no active noise cancellation.
The external noise is blocked by the large cups as well as the unvented enclosure on the ear cups. The headsets can be worn for extended periods of time with no problems at all. If you set the volume control and the microphone on a certain length, the locks click, and this is an indication that a gamer can easily adjust the microphone and the volume more speedily and effortlessly.
The headsets also have adjustable pressure sliders, a new feature with the headset. Pressure sliders are designed to accommodate various facial shapes and sizes. They ensure that you get the perfect fit, thus, achieving maximum comfort while also avoiding sound leaks and adding to the noise cancellation by achieving that seamless fit.
Comfort

The headset has excellent, adequately-sized ear cups, and apart from the excellent noise cancellation feature, you also get a comfortable rest on your ears. The surroundings of the ear cups are made with leather material, and the material used to make the part where your ears come into contact with the headset is suede. This allows for no heat build-up when you wear the headsets.
When using the headsets for extended periods, you get a comfortable fit, adequate noise cancellation, and the strain is removed. The headband is also comfortable, and it has been well padded. It is clear that the developers keenly focused on the comfort of the headsets during the design process. Although the headphones feel a little heavy, their soft and responsive headband padding will make you feel like you have a pillow resting on the head.
