Sennheiser has announced details on the U 320, a gaming headset that’s allegedly compatible with all videogame consoles. The U 320 headset will be available later this fall for a retail price of $169.95. Many people swear by Sennheiser cans for their combination of high-quality sound and great comfort. Hopefully the U 320 model will be comparable to the company’s other outstanding products. Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
The U 320 is born out of Sennheiser’s 65-year experience pursuing premium sound, and is designed to emphasize the different types of distinctive gaming sounds. The sound spectrum of the U 320 is superbly amplified and the bass boost is easily adjusted to suit your preference of clear explosions, crashes or background music.
Thanks to great comfort, the U 320 is wearable for as long as a gamer wants to enjoy the getaway from everyday life. The open-acoustic design helps keep a cool head, and the soft-padded unique CircleFlex™ design ensures that the ear pads adjust automatically, making the game experience a comfortable thrill.
The pro noise-canceling microphone reduces ambient noise for crystal-clear conversations with fellow players and friends, and allows the player to mute the microphone by simply raising the boom arm. Adjusting the dual volume control on the cable is just as easy, and the side tone switch monitors the voice while playing.
I’ve reached out to Sennheiser to get more details on this headset’s connectivity. The press release claims it will work with PC, Mac, PS3, and Xbox 360, but doesn’t specify if there are multiple dongles or a breakout box. I’ll also bug the company about Wii U support.
Any of you guys and dolls Sennheiser fans? Are you interested in picking up the U 320 gaming headset?
Sounds good to me. However, I realized a while ago that there’s no microphone port on my laptop (odd). Does anybody know of a gaming headset that plugs in to the USB port instead? I prefer headsets that cover the ears, and the more wireless the better.
This Razer USB is very good: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002EVPBH0/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=rt0b3-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B002EVPBH0&adid=08REAPY6W4V1K6375WZ1&
