Sennheiser GSP 550 review — Premium sound that’s worth the price

Sennheiser has a reputation for creating top-of-the-line audio products, and it’s spent the last few years trying to bring that into gaming. While companies like Astro and Turtle Beach may come to mind for most gaming fans first, that’s primarily due to marketing. Sennheiser’s products are often much better, which is something I discovered when I reviewed its excellent PC373D headset.

At the end of 2018, the company rolled out its high-end GSP 550 headset. It is available for $250, and it works with the PC (although you could also connect it to a PlayStation 4). This is the latest entry in Sennheiser’s GSP lineup of gaming headsets, which are all excellent. But unlike the GSP 500 and 600, it comes with the company’s Dolby surround-sound dongle.
