For anyone where it says it's not supported for 7.1, you have to click properties, advanced, and set to 16 bit audio. Once done you can then go and set the 7.1 setting.

Dude, life saver! I just got my amp and headphones and I thought they sounded like shit. I was started to stress about why did I just spend $500 on these (or more?) but watching your video it was just because the communication device was selected and default. After selecting speakers, dude these sound amazing! Glad I spent the money now

[@proudcanadian9816]

Hi Sennheiser. I got my GSX1000 just about a month ago and I just LOVE IT !! I also watched a YT vid review from BadSeed Tech where he reviewed your new GSP500 that just came out last month in Canada. He went on to say that it seems as if the GSP500 openback gaming headset and the GSX1000 were specifically tuned to work in tandem. . . It was as if they were made for each other. WEll, that was all I needed to hear, so I went out and bought a set. All I gotta say is W O W ! ! ! Sennheiser you guys hit this one right outta the PARK with this combo. I'm talking about a grandslam here fellas Keep up the great work over there.

[@Jaypher]

This was super helpful! Loving my GSX1200!

[@proudcanadian9816]

Hey Guys n gals @sennheisergaming. It's been a few months now and I am continually blown away at the sound I have been getting with my GSX1000. And tonite as I was just browsing your YT channel, I came across this video on how to set up this baby from scratch. I'm always keen on this stuff as I know that sometimes, sometimes you could miss something on the setup. And guess what? I did. The other night I was listening to my Mass Senns HD6xx with my other amp, the Mayflower ARC. When switched back to my GSX, something wasn't right. And when I went into Discord to hook up with my buddies to play some seige, I could hear them, but they could not hear me. I tried restarting, I tried configging discord, I tried everything I could think of. And when I finally got it going, the comms and sound, sounded annoyingly like a whiny tin can. I could def relate to that. I watched the presenter go through the setup tips, and even though I thought I had it set right, well, it wasn't. Seems I did NOT have my "speaker" icon in the "playback" tab set to "default device". As soon as I turned that option back on, . . . night n day with sound. It IMMEDIATELY sounded soooo much better. TYVM :) So excuse me while I get back into another heated set of Battlefield 4 and maybe some Rainbow6 Seige. Sennheiser gaming, don't stop making vids like this. Because no matter how much one may know about something, there's always something you might have overlooked right ?!?!?! Peace out !

[@somaliland8591]

Great video !!!

[@boobax85]

Thank you for your video, I would say that the GSX 1200 Pro that I have is a perfect combo with dolby headphones from win 10, i'm loosing the 96Khz (48 instead, 24 bits) but the sound is way more spatial and accurate with dolby than 2.0 HD on the amplifier. Just in case, for people that might have that option available (need to pay it once for all your "official" windows devices)

[@ROrneli]

thanks ! when i first plugged it in i was taken aback by how it sounded worse than my hyperx mini amp, but it was because it defaults to the wrong component.. I wonder how many people ended up returning this unit because they thought the amp sucked.

[@Toolguns]

I've been enjoying the 7.1 features of this amp, but I recently tried 24bit 96KHZ (HD 2.0) in BFV and was blown away by the audio quality with my PC38X headset. I think I'm sticking with this new setting!

[@qwynbleid]

What?

[@madararinneganuchiha]

Hello, First of all thanks for the great useful review. I would like to get gsx 1200 with either Sennheiser HD 660s or PXC 550 or Momentum 2.0 The question is whether either of these headphones are going to work with/benefit from this unit? I am new to this kind of stuff, but as far as i understand, dac/amp works only with analog connected headphones, and not with USB wireless headsets(like my logitech G933). Also, would my razer leviathan 5.1 soundbar benefit from this unit(connected through 3.5 mm jack)?

[@ImAdapt73]

Thank you for making these videos, I love this clean sounding amp, I just got it today to go with my gsp 600. This helped me understand setting it up alot better. Seems like I can hear every detail even at low volume. I like being able to use my mic as a passthrough with a quick touch. Don't have to remove my headset when someone says something to me in the house. If y'all had some EPOS speakers or monitor sized soundbars in the near future, I'm ready.

[@danut05]

Great video, i got the GSX 1000 and normally it sounded like tin cans, i was like wtfff, found this video and fixed that. I got them paired to the Game One headset but compared to the mainboard audio from the Asus Hero 9 i sadly have to say that it's not worth the price so i returned it. The 7.1 feature made games sound way worse for me and it's just not worth it to me.

[@natterman2037]

According to the specs on the Sennheiser website, the GSX 1000 provides enough to power headphones up to 150 ohm. So you should be good.

how do i turn on the sound card on with out having to unplug and plug it in every time i boot my computer?

[@XxThExTrEmEpLaYeRXx]

When you plug in the headphone and microphone cable. Do you plug the other end of the cable into the pc? Or into a headset

I bought this and the quality is even more amazing on my GSP 600. The mic sounds better, The quality sounds better and I love that I can change the settings on the GSX 1000 on the fly, This is truly a fantastic high tech device! I wish I can use 7.1 on 24 bit, Two problems with this is when I turn the volume on my headset there is a crackling sound so I need to not turn up the volume on my headset too much and the lower or raise my mic volume on the bottom right side is not smooth so it's hard to scroll it

[@micheldumont5460]

Hi Sir, I am looking foward to buy one too and since you've just bought them I would like to ask you a question! Can the GSX 1000 increase the maximum volume of your headset? I have Sennheiser Game One at home but I do not find them loud enough. Thank you!

[@iwiiibreaku8096]

so how i make headset with mic work on this,i can either get sound when i pug to headphones input or make my mic work with no sound if i plug in to microphone

[@ukgforze]

Another issue with this device is the ultra sensitive mic, the headsets poor sound output, the amp connects to your PC via USB & doesn't use your soundcard is frustrating but as windows sees the amp as one device (default device) with the headset being the default communication device, this means when you toggle from headset to speakers it only switches certain applications sound from headset to speaker. Previous to my PC310 G4ME that has simple simple audio jacks & uses my sound card, but when plugged into a cheap audio switch with my speakers it switches ALL my sound as it should do! ...Overall the cheaper setup gave me less hassle, better headset/mic sound quality (input/output) easy to configure & not limiting my use! Take note Sennheiser, you nerfed this headset by relying on software over hardware.

[@abduktedtemplar]

The audio test within the settings menu does not play sound when set to 7.1 mode. Is that expected behavior?

depends on your taste. just know to enable 7.1 you have to set it up in windows then switch the speakers (GSX1000-1200) down to 16bit resolution. It opens up the sound stage pretty well, i personally like it.

I recently got this and wish I'd seen your video as I was a bit lost to begin with, everything is fine now. I'm a little dissapointed with this DAC overall, but I got it for a good price so i'll be keeping it. I have a lot of FLAC files on my pc, and like to have high resolution DACs to get the most out of them, so I wish that there was a simple switch between 24bit 2.0 HD and 16b 7.1 Surround mode, that would be perfect. Also, the 7.1 surround sound seems pretty bad in comparison to Dolby Atmos for headphones activated in windows. It sounds fake, the positional accuracy isn't that good. The EQ settings are all very bad and the reverb is awful. I do however really like the 2.0HD sound quality, and love the one-touch switch between headphones and speakers, that is probably the main reason I will be keeping it, nothing else on the market allows you to switch between things to quickly and easily, it could just do with a few things being fixed for me. I paid £65 but I definitely would not pay £200 +

So I recently bought the GSX1000 and I recently bough XM4s as a switch to better audio for gaming. I used these headphones in combination with my elgato wave 3 mic. Before introducing the GSX1000 my headphones were working immaculately with my wave 3's (the mic has a 3.5mm jack for audio). I bought the dac for the sole purpose of EQ and controlling volume and audio settings through a dac rather than a virtual software. For some reason my GSX1000 won't recognize the headphones in their app. I can hear everything, but I want to change the EQ of the audio to make it slightly less bassy and open them up a bit. Everytime I use the EPOS gaming suite, nothing is recognized, so I'm just stuck on the settings page and can't do any customization. This is really making the gsx1000 sort of useless, and I paid over $150 for it... can someone please help :(

Does anyone have the H6's connected to a GSX 1000 or 1200? Can you comfortably play at max volume 99? 99 still isn't enough for me. Something has to be wrong. i have everything maxed on windows configuration, no other enhancements are enabled. It work fine it simply doesn't amplify loud enough or even much louder than the H6 by its self.

I know this may sound stupid but in your instructions you state to make sure you set the GSX as the default mic on Recording tab. Just FYI that is ONLY if you are using the GSX input for your mic. If you are not using this do not do that step. I'm sure most people know this but just in case I wanted to point this out,

can it connect to wireless gaming headset with dongle?

[@Fflintiii]

is there a way to turn 7.1 off for stuff like youtube as well while i am in game with 7.1 on?

[@EPOSGaming]

Yes, you can set it however you like it.

Hey guys, I've just gpt my GSX 1000, but windows have changed their settings for the latest version and I can't quite follow. Can you guys make an updated version? Cheers.

[@misterx008]

You can access the missing menu by: Press Windows key + R to open a Run window and type “mmsys.cpl“

Maybe it’s because my ears are so used to stereo, but these units sound way too much like you’re in a wind tunnel. Too bad there isn’t more equalizer settings, because some sounds are just uncomfortable. I’m currently using the GSX 1200, with Beyerdynamic MMX 300. I can’t find any setting I enjoy. Do I need to go back to cheap stereo or spend $3,000 on a proper sound setup? Not sure I like artificial 7.1.

I would switch to an openback headphone like the MassDrop 58X Jubilee and an add on mic like the antion. Closed cans, by nature of design, can not image as well as most open back headphones and the 58X excell at imaging as long as you are able to use open backs in your gaming enviroment.

I'm not able to change the bitrate of the microphone when connected in the GSX 1200

[@shameite74]

After I set the default device to the GSX1000, when I configure the speaker setting to 7.1 instead of stereo, the audio cuts off. Anyone had that problem?

[@theTechnical_Assistant]

This is an issue with whatever program you were using that was playing back sound. It can't handle the switch from 2.1 to 7.1 seamlessly. The way to start hearing sound again is to restart that specific program.

I have the gsx 1200 pro and game one,i did all the following steps,i have it 24bit 96000,but on the soundcard i cant use any options like the gaming mode,it says 2.0 hd and thats it,how can i turn on the gaming mode?

[@randysalsman6992]

You need to change it from 24bit 96000Hz to 24bit 48000Hz. Also if you want the setup from this video to work you need to change it to 16bit 48000Hz.

[@sovkreview2024]

Could I plug in my sennheiser hd 560s into the gsx 1000. Would it work

[@cphungdhdl]

Will this automatic change to 16 and 24bit when you press on the dac (7.1 to 2.0) ? Or you need to do it on windows?

[@Smash8ros]

i think u will have to go to windows because theres not only 16/24 bit but also mulitple khz values for the 24bit settings (44k/48k/96k)

[@cosmicgamer6648]

Which one should i get sennheiser gsx 1000 or 1200 pro? What is the difference?

[@erikeggenbakstad]

Pro has chat link. 1000 don't have that. It might be other things also. Not sure.

[@aatishr9908]

Hi all, How is the gsx 1000 7.1 mode for music listening? Is it worth the price?

[@KurokoKun11]

When I use the wheel to turn up or down the volume, the general volume on my computer will always go down to 0 no matter what, is there a way to stop it?

[@miremaker]

I have this same issue.

[@purebeaux742]

I'm not sure if I did something wrong but when I setup Teamspeak Playback as the Headset Earphone (GSX1000 Communication Audio) I get no audio from Teamspeak. I have to set it to Speakers (GSX1000 Main Audio) to hear anything inside Teamspeak.

[@EPOSGaming]

Did you turn up the little volume wheel on the side? That regulates the in chat volume from your mates.

[@purebeaux742]

sennheisergaming I unplugged everything and restarted my PC. Everything seems to be working as the setup guide suggests. Sounds amazing. Thank you!
