Sennheiser PC 323D

Sennheiser 323D 3D G4ME review

Sennheiser has some great cans on the market - we still love its popular PC 360 headset, pricey as it is, and the PC 330 isn't too bad either unless you're a large-headed type. With an encouraging track record like that, this new 323D set can't veer too far off course, can it? After all, it's capable of 7.1 surround sound, and boasts a frequency response range well beyond the capabilities of our - or anyone's - ears. Those are higher specs than the similarly priced CM Storm Sirrus, which we liked a lot. And yet even with such an assured spec sheet, it does veer off course. Wildly so. The build quality suggests this is a cheap and cheerful effort entering the market just below the 50 PC 330 cans. The 95 price tag though, has other ideas. And all those ideas involve you creasing in remorse for not spending your dough more sagely. Buyer's remorse First things first - the PC 323D does offer some impressive aural swathes. In gaming terms, the 7.1 positional audio's precise enough to pick out far off footsteps more easily than most headsets - if you're looking to improve your kill/death ratio in any way possible.
