Comfortable, with great sound
Coming from the pc37x and Jubilee HD58x, these are actually much more comfortable. The clamping force is much more tolerable and the earcups don't hurt after a few hours like the Jubilee.
I'm not a big fan of the braided cable, wish they came with high-quality rubber one like the Jubilee instead. I'll probably look for alternative cable in the future.
Nice that it comes with both PC and mobile cables, a long with alternative ear cushion and carry bag.
The Jubilee made me love open-back headphones, I'm happy the pc38x sounds almost as good, and has a great mic for convenience. It's a good upgrade from the pc37x in my opinion, worth it.

Great sound, but uncomfortable.
Although I recognize the great sound quality of this product unfortunately not only did I find it super uncomfortable as the plastic inside of the ear cup touches my ear and is very tight, the left driver also came defective as it distorts when playing somewhat loud sounds, and that only happens to the left side, Ive also tested a frequency test on youtube and confirmed the defect.

Sounds Great, but one of the speakers gave out after a year.

Another fix for quiet sound
Luckily before returning these I checked here and plugged the cable all the way in and that fixed the left earcup being too query problem. But the signs was still quiet, even at max volume. If you are plugging them In the front jack, What you need to do is go to the realtek audio app and click on the option that disables the 2 separate motherboard Jacks when a front jack is connected. Fixed my problem and they sound better than ever. Truly amazing headphones.

The Default Option
I've owned the OG PC37X for close to 6 years and they're still going strong, decided to upgrade to this finally for the more extended bass response and improved soundstage, most in audiophile circles tend to recommend using a separate mic and headphone, but I much prefer the convenience of having the mic built in, besides I often prefer my IEMs and speakers for music, though I do wish the mic was somehow removable.
I'm not a huge competitive gamer, In fact most of the games I play are single-player, but I do play a lot of PVE/MMO games so having a mic is still a plus, and the extended bass response makes them more immersive while retaining the clarity, but even if you are looking for something to hear footsteps this will get the job done very well, they're not really 'wall-hack' level as some might say, although if you are obsessive about that, you might want to get something like the HD800s lol.
Comfort is generally great, the fact it is open-back gives you the plus of breathability, although If you wear thick framed glasses, the clamping force can create some discomfort, but they do break in after a while, although they do have less clamping force then my 37x out of the box.
Despite me owning other headphones/iems, I still reach out for these when gaming and chatting, being able to mute the mic by putting it away, and the volume wheel are great features which make it a great headset as well as an actually pretty good headphone that I would I argue comes pretty damn close to high-end headphones, honestly, I would argue you would have to start going into the 500-1000 range for headphones with better sound, headphones at this range are more like preferential tuning 'side-grades' or if you just don't like the mic being always attached. They're not a slouch for music either, they can sound so good to the point where you forget this is a gaming headset, the soundstage really creates a more exciting listening experience. You don't really need an amp for these, your motherboard/controller will suffice, although I would recommend it as you can get more volume with less distortion and better clarity, which can improve details like footsteps. I'm using my Fulla 3 which I also had for close to 5 years, although I am considering upgrading it.
They are a bit plasticity, but it's some really good plastic, given I've owned the PC37x for six years as I said, which I did not baby at all, I dropped them without a scratch and the and have the mic mute click is still as tactile as day one, given similar quality, I expect the same from these. The one thing the bothers me most though, is the cable, the one on my 37x has kinked quite a bit, and I expect that to happen with this one, as for some reason manufacturers insist on packaging it folded in instead of a loop, I might actually try to use a hair dryer to straighten it this time.
I would basically consider this the default/best option for any gamer who has any sort of interest in higher fidelity audio, yet want to maintain the convenience of a headset as most gaming headsets have bloated bass in their tunings. Beware though, as they can be a gateway to the audiophile grade stuff, as this might be the first taste of 'good headphones' for a lot of people, the 37x were certainly for me.

Good for hassle free simplicity
Open back helps with using hearing your surrounding, while the more than standard impedance helps with actually using the whole range of the volume control your PC has to offer. Great for laptops especially, because of a single cable included in the box. Mic quality is top notch as well.
TLDR; Definitely not audiophile grade, but the best in class.

Sound quality is great, the microphone is terrible.
The sound quality is amazing, unfortunately, my headset came with a broken mic that pops and sounds muffled. I did not find this out until after the 30 day return period and am now stuck with a great sounding headset and no mic...

A cheaply made copy of a great design, but still with a premium price.
I have used the Sennheiser Game Zero and Game One headsets that these are supposed to be the successor to as my daily use headsets for a decade. I was in need of a replacement and found to my disappointment that Sennheiser had stopped making them and the design had gone to other manufacturers a few years back. Online reviews assured me these were practically identical to the Game One, acoustically and design-wise, possibly even an upgrade...
I was dismayed when I received these and immediately saw/felt how cheap and absolutely not the same these are compared to the real thing. The plastic is noticeably cheap and stiff, with rough/sharp edges on everything, and the cushioning on the headband and ear pads is also made of cheaper/stiffer material, which combines to have increased clamping force that was bad enough to give me a headache. The pads on the earphones are also slightly miss-sized and too small for the frame, so the jagged plastic edge that the pads should extend to but don't is very noticeable. The obvious downgrade in materials and manufacturing quality gives me serious doubts about the durability as well.
These are like someone tried to make the Game One for a fraction of the cost by cutting corners on quality and materials, but still sold them at a premium price point. Maybe they're passable for someone that doesn't know what the real thing was like, but I am beyond disappointed.
