Hi everyone, I recently purchased an Epos Sennheiser GSP 370. I was impressed by its ability to capture every footstep and directional sound. When playing games like PubPG, I found the directional audio really helpful—it helped me pinpoint where shots were coming from, such as when someone shoots from the left side. This made my ears feel a bit ticklish or itchy, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It’s strange how it works; I wasn’t sure if my brain was just not recognizing it or if this was normal. After a few days of playing, I still felt that the audio was too intense in certain directions. The Epos software is 2.0 surround sound, not 7.1, so everything seemed fine. I’m a bit confused about why this happens and whether it’s something I should be worried about. Thanks for your help!

Sony has warned about irritation from wearing headphones for extended periods. This issue might also affect my Focal Bathys, possibly due to moisture buildup in the ears. I couldn't locate details specific to your model. The earcups are typically made of a certain material, which can sometimes worsen the problem; you can check the provided link for replacement options.

Unfortunately, the earpad inside wasn't removed (essentially the face of the earcup), but when I got them I felt normal with no issues at all. However, a few days later I noticed something unusual—do you think it's normal to feel like the surrounding can make it a bit giggly or itchy? If someone is shooting in the right side, does the sound seem to come from that exact side, making it feel like deep side? Or did I adjust the settings somehow?

Earphones are worn while using them, which might explain why they seem to reach this point. It's unclear if it causes itching, but you might feel the sound reaching your ears. If you suspect changes were made, consider resetting the software to defaults.

It appears the headset is recognized as 7.1 in Windows 10 settings. There is no mention of an itchy sensation in the ears.

Thanks for your reply and support. I might attempt this in the settings upon returning home, and regarding the playback sound, in the recording it appears as a headset, while the playback device displays it as speakers. Is this an issue or should it remain as a headset?

some people find it works better without the sennheiser software.
I found a few other people with the Speakers problem and those headphones, but no answer yet.
I am not sure what it should show as I don't have them.
Could ask Epos =

I do know someone with those headphones, he had to return his as the volume knob on side of headphones didn't do anything as he was (up until realising knob didn't work) thinking they weren't very loud. I have asked him about if they appear as headphones. Just waiting for a reply.

thank you for being a reliable friend and for your assistance. I think the issue lies here, which is why during sound playback it displays speakers gsp 360, but when setting up 7.1 surround mode, I feel like switching to headphones or headsets rather than speakers.

I believe I resolved the issue—it was related to the playback device itself. It should use a headset, not speakers. I opened Device Manager, selected my GSP 370, updated the driver, and then tried the USB audio device. Restarting the PC fixed the problem. The surrounding was too deep and the speakers disappeared afterward. However, it seems strange that the GSP software isn’t working properly even when the headset appears in playback.
