Sennheiser donates over $200,000 AUD worth of gaming headsets for charitable use

Sennheiser unveils its Season of Giving program, donating a huge quantity of the special edition GSP 305 gaming headset to seven charities across the globe. In addition, 150 headsets will be donated directly through Sennheiser’s own social media channels, in an initiative designed to spread the joy of gaming by giving back to those in need.

Charitable organisations and social have been chosen because of their extensive work to support the gaming community, or support for communities through gaming, and each will receive a quantity of Sennheiser’s popular GSP 305 gaming headset – a special edition variant of the award-winning GSP 300 – delivering superior acoustic sound coupled with a broadcast quality noise-cancelling microphone.  In total, 1,500 headsets – with a combined retail value of €148,000 – will be distributed to charities, including:

Child’s Play – U.S.A.
Female Legends and Pink Orange – Sweden
Gamer Aid – Australia
Gaming Aid – Germany
Special Effect – UK
Your Corps – New Zealand

Andreas Jessen, Senior Director, Product Management & Marketing, Sennheiser, commented: “The holiday season is the time of year to spend quality time with family and friends. It reminds us of the importance of getting involved with, and giving back to, our communities. Gaming, and the amazing community surrounding it, has been a huge positive force and massive source of happiness for many. This holiday season, we’ve chosen to support a number of gaming-related charities that bring joy into people’s lives and help to make this season even more magical for them.”

Mark Saville, Communications Coordinator, Special Effect, commented:
“We’re hugely grateful to Sennheiser for this fabulous donation and the opportunity to extend awareness of our life-changing work to a wider audience. We’ll be using the headphones over the next few months to raise vital funds for our work levelling the playing field for disabled gamers of all ages, but in the first instance they’ll be an amazing surprise Christmas present for many of the people we help.”
