    Intuitive LED Panel

    Settings lock

    The LED Panel is sensor activated for quick settings change - hover your hand over the panel and it activates. To prevent accidental changes, a settings lock is also provided. Don’t let your pet, child or an inadvertent touch accidentally change your audio settings in the middle of play.

    Customizable audio settings

    Specially attuned audio presets – story, music, esports and neutral – focus and balance sound frequencies where they are needed, and act as a starting point for your own custom profiles. Set reverberation level to your preference for precise spatial awareness.

    Separate control for game audio and chat

    Separate controls for game audio and chat allows you to cut through the noise for communication when needed for on-the-fly strategizing with your teammates. Sidetone lets you control the loudness of your own voice in your headset: you know what you are saying, tune in to your teammates.

    Customers like the volume control of the sound card. They say the knob to change the sound level is fantastic, it has presets for different types of sound, and offers EQ and two forms of spatial sound adjustments. They mention that it gets them the audio control they need, and makes switching from speaker audio to headset audio by the press of a button. The surround sound algorithms are a huge improvement over Dolby Atmos or Razer Surround for software. They also mention that the easy switch between 7.1 surround sound and 2.1 stereo as well as preset for gaming, movies, and casual listening is easy to detect.

    A Perfect Amp paired with Sennheiser Game One headset!
    I have been using the GSX 1000 for a week now and the sounds coming out of any headset are just amazing!What made me decide to purchase this device?I was shopping for a wired gaming headset for my PC. My previous headsets were Logitech G933 and Astro A20s, both were wireless. The sounds were great on those 2 wireless headsets, but I was just tired of charging these devices every day. I originally purchased these headsets for my PS4 gaming console (G933 half price on Black Friday & Astro A20s impulse buy). I did my research on wired headsets and the Sennheiser Game One caught my attention. When I first received my Game One headset I was a bit disappointed at the surround sound quality, but realized I did not set the sound properties.I was so spoiled using wireless headsets that had surround sound already preset. If you want surround sound to come out of your headset, you will can turn on 7.1 surround sound under your device Playback Properties. Enable 7.1 Surround sound, and (optional) apply Dolby Atmos or Windows Sonic for Headphones. I also used my ASUS Motherboard's SONIC STUDIO 3 presets. I was still not satisfied with the changes, so I started a return on my Game One headset.Did more research on headphones and was interested in the GSP 600 headset. I noticed that Amazon recommended the GSX 1000 Audio Amp and was very intrigued. After reading and watching reviews on both device I decided to move on with the purchase.I received both devices the next day (free one day shipping) and tested the GSP 600 without the GSX 1000 amp. The sounds and quality of the GSP 600 are top notch. Finally, plugged in the GSX 1000 amp and was just blown away! The Sennheiser Game One was ready to ship back to Amazon; I had the label printed and was going to drop it off at my nearby USP store. For some reason I wanted to try the Game One on the GSX 1000 amp, and am glad I did! The Game One, in my opinion, sounds even better than the GSP 600! I am not sure how to explain it but the highs/lows on the Game One (w/ GSX 1000 amp) was perfect! I've been listening to music on these as well as gaming and I usually listen to music with my Sony WH1000MX2. (Also, another great headset!!!)I believe the Open Acoustics on Game One was the main reason why I kept these over the GSP 600. The GSP 600 was too heavy and the spacing was not as snugged as the Game One.Canceled my return on the Sennheiser Game One headset and returned the GSP 600. Kept the GSX 1000 amp of course!I hope this has helped anyone who was looking to purchase the GSX 1000 Audio Amp! It works on any wired headset! It is just based on your preference.I recommend downloading the PDF instructions for the GSX 1000 Audio Amp on Sennheiser's website.

    Reviewed in France on August 3, 2021
    L'expérience de jeu en 7.1 est grandement amélioré depuis que j'utilise cette carte son. Le son a une excellente dynamique et une très grande ouverture, sur un cousque à acoustique ouverte, on le remarque encore plus jusqu'au point de confondre la réalité et le jeu. Ça pourrait déranger certains mais je trouve que c'est un bon point pour l'immersion, la finition est très bonne et les différentes fonctions sont assez simples à utiliser. Je recommande si vous avez un casque qui pourrait l'exploiter au maximum, pour ma part, j'ai un GSP 500.
