Great headset

Just barely used it and I can already hear the benefits of this headset in imaging. Works great to hear footsteps nearby

mic is fantastic

Bought as a gift for my dad to replace his headset while we were gaming together. I can't speak much for the sound and comfort but he seems very happy with it. I can at least say that the mic is amazing and I can actually understand him over the sounds in game now.

Very nice open-back gaming headset

They are very well built. Love that they are open-back so you can still hear what happens around you while you are immersed on your gaming. They definitely work for transitioning a gaming-focused user into an audiophile.

Perfect Headset

I've been using the Drop x Sennheiser PC37x since 2017 I loved the pair. The only reason I'm buying a new pair is because after 9 years of daily use it was showing signs of wear. The old pair was still usable the only issues I had was the original cushions finally failed and the mic mute switch wasn't consistently working (flip the microphone up to mute). I swapped over to the Drop PC38x and it feels exactly like what I wanted. It feels more solid than my old pair. It might sound a little better but it could also be placebo. There is a second set of ear pads so I'm looking forward to another decade of daily use with this pair.

Perfect. Just buy them.

The influencers are right. Unless you *need* wireless, just buy these; there is no valid competitor. Imaging is superior to anything under $300. Great microphone. Light, comfortable, and versatile.

PC38X Gaming Headphones

Comfortable headphones with a natural clear sound profile without EQ. Can raise lows with EQ and output a simple bass if preferred. Try not to overuse the volume dial as this design gives out and requires a fix (same as previous generations). Eventually I will either buy a new PC38X pair or the next generation of this headset design. Headphones are a personal preference but for all future music/movies/gaming I have settled on the idea of open-back wired headphones and this is my favourite design (I also have the earlier Sennheiser Game One Headphones).

great for long lasting quality

had these for years before a dog ripped the headset up, still worked after just lost the mic and eventually had to get rid of it for another headset due to money constraints, but that aside its much better than 90% of the stuff you can get (im looking at the sony pulse elites for example) for the same price.

Excellent for gaming.

Comfortable for long gaming sessions and it checked off all the boxes for my use case. Open back, good sound, comfortable and it comes with a pc cable as well as a console cable. Excellent.
