I bought this headset, based on optimum's recommendation. Even with EQ I could not hear footsteps well, because of the too much bass and the tuning of the headset. The mic is great and the headset is very comfortable, but for FPS gaming, what I mainly bought it for is not good at all.
The PC38X Gaming Headset is second to none in my opinion - For both music and gaming. At first I was sceptical living in the UK before ordering. Fortunately, my friend had recommended me the product. I borrowed his and I was astonished with the performance. I just wanted something easy going with great audio and mic quality in one peripheral for the good price. Couldn't be more happier with the product so I ordered my own!

After six months of intial usage, it hasn't let me down.
If you don't have an amp or just using the case pcb or MOBO headjack, I would recommend getting the Realtek Audio Console on your PC for personal audio tweaks and fixing mic issues with the ports if they appear (lost mic connection twice). Other than that both input and output sound have been incredible for all usages.
It is conformtable for its price, nothing too suave but good.
The plastic mold is solid, they've could've made it less stiff. The wire and headphone jack are very sturdy (I've tugged the jack once because of not taking off the headset.)
very good mic
easy mic mute
very good imaging
decent soundstage
slight channel mismatch but can be compensated with eq
lightweight
-these guys made it super tight and used stiff pads instead of using the same build as every other sennheiser headphone and used the new head pad like on the 660s/560s when the old puffy leather was way more comfortable
why is it tight? because its gamer? we sit in a chair not move around? its not exercising!
if you have a super wide head it may be less of an issue but on a thiin head it basically pulls the top down onto you applying tons of pressure to the top of your head, and the pafds might as well be taken off, just pressing a few mm/ 1/16 of an inch with your finger and you feel alot of pushback.
waste of my time and money
huge disappointment
tygr 300r all over again
XiiNythSounds like your head is the size of mine...what headset do you use regularly or prefer wearing for gaming/music/movies if you don't mind me asking?
Over-ear headphones usually give me a headache after about 30 minutes of wearing them, but the PC38X hasn't given me any trouble so far! It's nice to be able to binge a show or play games with friends and not worry about an incoming headache. The mic quality is great too, much better than my previous headset.
Everything about these headphones are just awesome! The sound quality, clamping force, the mic quality especially. Incredible. My only gripe is the gnarly headphone dent it leaves in your hair compared to other headphones. If this isn't a problem for you, definitely buy these!
