Hi,
I’m curious about purchasing the Sennheiser GSP 500. I noticed there are two versions that look almost the same, just slightly different in style. However, there’s a significant price gap—around $140 for one and $240 for the other. Can you explain why this difference exists and whether they’re truly the same product?
Regardless of what is mentioned, this headset isn't from Sennheiser—it belongs to the EPOS brand. You might find more details about how this came to be, but in short: Sennheiser sold their gaming headset division to EPOS, and even at first, EPOS used the Sennheiser logo on their products for visibility. In reality, EPOS is simply a brand that sources products from China.
The prices reflect the seller's information, and older items can often be sold at the same rate or even higher than new ones. As long as the model number matches exactly, it should be identical, or only slightly different models won't affect the price. Just verify the specific model number rather than relying on the general product name.

Some Sennheiser items produced in China, including their budget headphones and gaming headsets, were originally made there. The same model remains available under a different brand name. EPOS is owned by a Danish company that previously collaborated with Sennheiser. The gaming headsets were manufactured at the same facility before and after the brand change to EPOS.
