Sennheiser PC 330 G4ME

Sennheiser PC 330 G4ME review

Not too long ago, we took a look at Sennheiser's rather impressive PC 333D G4ME headset, which we rather liked. Designed – as the l33t moniker suggests – for playing around in WoW, CODBLOPS or Plants vs Zombies without the speakers on, they're an impressive bit of kit.That's important, because the PC 330 G4ME we're looking at here is exactly the same headset minus the USB soundcard that comes with the PC 333D. This means that the PC 330 G4ME combines a top notch set of speakers with an excellent noise cancelling microphone. The cans are capable of a massive dynamic range of 14Hz to 22kHz and, what's more, there are some clever extras designed around LAN partying: lifting the mic out of the way mutes it and the volume dial is built into the left hand speaker, so there's no fiddling with in-line controls when you're trying to get a shot off.Best of all, either earpiece can be swung out of the way so you can talk to team-mates if they're in the same room, but when back in place you're completely shut off from outside distractions.Compared to some of Sennheiser's other gaming headsets – and we're thinking of the PC 350s here – the build quality feels a little cheaper than you might expect for the cost.
