Sennheiser seems to be quite busy lately, since just after we brought you their adidas Originals co-branded headphones the company announced other new products, this time targeting hardcore gamers with their brand new arsenal of innovative gaming headsets.

Heading up the line is their new flagship model, the PC 360 that is specially designed for pro gamers thanks to its Open-Aire speaker technology and noise-canceling microphone.

Since this is comes as the follow-up to the hugely successful PC 350, the PC 360 will most definitely have a hard road in front of it, although those velvety-soft ear pads and “raise the boom to mute the microphone” functionality will most definitely help.

Available for $299.95 this is surely a headset that not that many gamers can afford, those of you that want to go for the Sennheiser sound but don't have the budget being far better suited by the PC 163D, PC 333D or the PC 330 G4ME that were also released today.

Much like the PC 360, all of these also feature noise-canceling microphones the PC 163D and PC 333D coming with 7.1-channel surround sound simulated by the Dolby Headphone technology, the PC 163D also featuring an adjustable boom mic.

Moving on to the PC 333D we find this comes with the same “raise boom to mute microphone” feature, one ear cup being fitted with an so-called “DJ Hinge” that users can single-handedly swivel up to talk to people around them, this feature being also present in the PC 330 G4ME, the most basic of these Sennheiser headset offerings.

As it was expected when it comes to Sennheiser products, pricing is quite steep, the PC 163D, PC 333D and the PC 330 G4ME being available for $209.95, $239.95 and $169.95 respectively, so these will set you back quite a decent amount of change.
