Sennheiser's probably best known for its line of high-end earphones primarily for listening to music on the go, but the company also offers a line of gaming headsets. That line got a little larger today with the introduction of a handful of new units, including the new flagship PC 360.
The PC 360 is the followup to the PC 350. It combines open-air speaker technology with a noise canceling microphone into a headset that's purportedly comfortable to wear with "velvety-soft ear pads and large ear cups."
There's also the PC 163D with virtual 7.1 channel, 360-degree audio, the slightly larger PC 333D also with virtual 7.1-channel sound that adds Dolby Headphone technology into the mix, and the PC 330 G4ME featuring closed acoustics with a flip-up design similar to a DJ's headset.
The PC 360 ($300), PC 163D ($210), PC 333D ($240), and PC 330 ($160) are available now.

I wish that a good quality headphone would be made for people with dreadlocks. I'm a bit of a niche market, sure, but I can't wear anything on my head! :D :(

I have a pair of Sennheiser PC350s that I got for 80 bucks about 3 years ago. I find them really good for gaming but terrible for music. Comfortable and loud as can be. Though I output through a receiver, so I don't know what anyone else's experience may be. The sound just isn't quite right. I would be interested in a smaller pair for my LAN box while I'm out and about.

These sounds promising. Are you guys going to review them by any chance?
