Update 2: Decided to give these a second shot after I heard back from Sennheiser's new support group that they were working on the connectivity issues. Well, as of early August I updated the firmware for the dongle and then the headset (headset plugged into the computer via a USB cable for the firmware update), and the problems that I had are now gone. The range is now great - I can go upstairs and walk around and only get some crackling (antenna orientation I believe), whereas before I couldn't go 15 feet away with a wall in between the dongle and headset without tons of static - even putting my arms on my head used to block the signal enough to cause static. No more!
The firmware updates on the dongle and headset also resolved the issue where the headset couldn't reconnect to the dongle after a computer restart, or a fresh start, without unplugging the dongle and plugging it back in. Really, this was my biggest complaint with these, and I'm really glad that they fixed it.
I have not noticed any increased battery drain with the firmware updates, or any loss of sound quality (mic included).
(old) Update: running the dongle update, and then the headset update, using the Sennheiser Gaming Software bricked the dongle. Big oof since I only tried the update to fix the connectivity on boot/restart issue.
So, the sound quality is quite good when you use the presets.
The microphone is better than the Logitech headset that I had (the Discord self test will cut in and out, but that doesn't translate to what other folks hear).
The battery life is phenomenal - really, how do they do it? All day with it on and watching movies, playing games, chatting with folks on discord and it drops 2% (yesterday from 86% to 84%).
Now to the bad, as other folks have poignantly noted:
The range of these headphones isn't great, and a microwave being used nearby will cause these to crackle and pop. Same thing with refrigerator doors or other obstructions. Once, when walking around the house (same floor as the computer/dongle) about 15 feet away, the headset caused my mic output to be super high. Shutting off the headset and powering them back on fixed it.
The software is terrible - (Update: version 1.3.0.478 seems to have fixed this particular gripe, and settings are now saved and restored after a restart) it doesn't save your last selections (defaults back to stereo and no default music preset.
The software doesn't have it's own icon on the bottom windows bar like all other open apps do, forcing you to minimize everything to see it, or to use alt tab to get back to it.
Every time you restart, or power on, your computer you MUST remove the USB dongle and plug it back in once Windows has loaded to the desktop. Nothing less than that will get your GSP 370 to connect back to the PC/dongle.
The connectivity issue could be fixed if Sennheiser bothered to, yet with how long this product has been out you should not expect them to. (It may be that the battery life has something to do with these problems, but if that were the case then Sennheiser should just let the customer know)
TLDR: If you desire massive, and I really mean that, battery life in a headset and don't mind having to unplug then re-plug the dongle after every restart (sleep mode too?) - these are for you. If you are OCD about headset connectivity just working at a 2020 standard, these are NOT for you.
