Sennheiser gets back in the (video)game, refreshes renowned PC360, PC350 headsets

Sennheiser gets back in the videogame, refreshes renowned PC360 headsets

Sure, many gamers will choose between the likes of Turtle Beach, Astro and Tritton for their headset needs, but lest we forgot about Sennheiser. While the German headphone-maker hasn't announced anything too exciting for audiophile gamers in last few years, that's changed here at CES 2013. The ever-popular, and impressive sounding, PC350 and PC360 have finally been refreshed with features for times as the P350 Special Edition and the PC363D -- keep reading for the juicy details.

Aside from some aesthetic tweaks, the two headsets continue to sport the look found on its HD500 series audiophile headphones. As such, both units are still wired stereo headsets at their cores, loaded with swiveling boom microphones -- although non-removeable, placing booms in the up position serves to mute the mics. The PC350 Special Edition features a closed back design with folding earcups for travel like the original, but with purportedly improved sound. Sennheiser claims it's enhanced the audio using "Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement," which aims the drivers more precisely at your ear canals.

"What about the PC363D," you ask? The headset has the same velour pads as the PC360, but the back of the earcups is now more of a vent then a grill. The big news, however, is that the headset comes bundled with a Dolby decoder box for virtual 7.1 surround sound. Essentially, this spares you the need to pick up the likes of a pricey Astro MixAmp or Turtle Beach DSS. The headsets will be available this month, with no word on pricing as of this writing. Check out the press release after the break for more in the meantime.
