Based on Sennheiser’s top-tier gaming headsets, our Sennheiser PC37X features the same exceptional audio and microphone quality, with some key tweaks to make it even better—and it’s only available here on Drop. Made with drivers that are positioned at an angle, which is typically seen in much more expensive headsets, the PC37X maximizes natural sound reproduction Read More

Never had a more comfortable set of headphones
Can you even imagine wearing headphones for 6+ hours without the slightest hint of discomfort? I couldn't until I found this pair. They're kind of a miracle.

Would recommend to a friend.
This review is coming from the perspective of someone who has owned many pairs of consumer and audiophile headphones. I have 3 pairs of Sennheiser headphones aside from this pair. These are amazing for the price. If these didn't have the microphone, I would put these on par with some of Sennheisers $250+ headphones. The sound quality is amazing and everything is super well balanced. If you have a sound card in your rig, these perform even better. Surround sound is super good too. Mic quality is on par with a Blue Yeti mic. Its a blessing and curse. Do not keep this close to your mouth or everyone can hear you breathe or swallow. The mic is sensitive and does not need to be close to you. The boom mic flips up to mute and there is a wheel on the right earcup that allows you to control the volume on the headset. Very handy. Build quality is superb. As always, this headphone can be hand dissembled and cleaned. Even though the head band is like a plastic, it is very strong and never once have I not had faith in it. The ear and head pads are really awesome as well. Easy to clean and large enough to give ample coverage. The cord is braided and interchangeable. It is about 6 feet long so no worries on length. It plugs in on the left ear cup and it isn't loose. I highly recommend these headphones. For those that are looking for some low key high quality headphones, these are it!

How do these compare to HyperX Clouds?
More comfortable, for one. They're much lighter and don't hurt your ears after a long stretch using them. They also connect via 2 3.5mm connectors, not USB. These are open-back, so don't provide any noise isolation or blocking, which the HyperX Clouds have a bit of passively. I switched to these from HyperX Clouds and have been very pleased.
Why are these good for gaming?
3 things make this a great gaming headset. 1) Open-back. This gives you a much more natural sound in comparison to most closed. The reason most are closed-back are for noise disturbances. Open will leak sound both in and out while closed does not. What this also means though is that the sounds you hear bounce around inside your earcups, making the sounds overall sound much more muffled when compared to open. It's one of those things you have to compare yourself to tell. But once you've tried open, it's like night and day. 2) Has to do with the open design too but: Sound Stage. Wide sound stage is what you're looking for in most competitive gaming scenarios among other things. Imagine an orchestra stage and imagine one that can only fit 5 people in row. You have your eyes closed and are told to point at the direction you hear one of the violinists playing. A wider sound stage is like that but with a stage big enough to fit say 20 people. How far out the sound comes from and where it's coming becomes a lot clearer. 3) Ultimately what makes a gaming "headset" is the attached mic. Of course a standalone is much better overall but for mics that are just slapped on headsets, this one is really good. Not the best of course and it may sound worse in comparison videos as the creator probably records with a better mic. But as far as gaming mics go, they're really good.

BRING IT BACK IN STOCK PLZ
I love this headset. I can't explain how deep the soundstage is. This is my first ever open-back set of headphones and it is a game changer. I have never experienced better sound in video games. I could wear this headset all day, it is so light and comfortable. The build quality does not scream high-end, but for the price it is perfect. After heavy, daily use for 5 years, I finally snapped my microphone. It's held together with electrical tape now and still works great, but I want to order a new pair and it seems like they are discontinuing this model. Please bring this back in stock Drop!!!!!

Best headphones I had to date
Longest lasting pair of headphones, and the best sound quality to date. Very comfortable and despite having a large head the clamping force was not extreme unlike many others I have tried.

Mic Issues
It was an excellent pair of headphones but I am now unable to talk through the mic. I have only owned these for a month and have a spot that is safe to store them but today the mic will not work no matter what I do and I hope i can get some help by posting a review.

Great entry level headset
Bought these for my son who plays games online with friends. They are comfortable for extended sessions, and the open back format allows him to hear when someone else is speaking to him.

Great gaming headset, cable could be improved
Been using the 37’s regularly for the last 4 years and they’ve held up a lot better than I expected. Only downside was having to order the shorter console cable separately on these. Was good to see they added it to the 38. Also, even the OEM console cables suck. I think I’ve replaced it 3-4 times over the past 4 years.

Seemingly no longer supported - good luck sourcing replacement cable
One of the biggest draw for me was that the cable was replaceable. Was replaceable - replaceable is only good so long as you can source a replacement, but I can't find an OEM replacement anywhere anymore, and the only ones available are Chinese knockoffs that are extremely low rated, even on Amazon's busted rating system, with frequent complaints being either dying within weeks, and mic bleed/crosstalk. EPOS is transitioning away from consumer audio. The aftermarket seems non-existent, and I can't find any wired "PC" series headphones on Sennheiser's site, which tells me these headsets are not supported anymore, and I mean plural, as the cable was somewhat standardized and used across multiple product lines. The padding is also somewhat standardized, and I was able to replace the pads with ease once the original pads wore out. Aside from that, these are actually great. I've had them since Nov 2019, and the audio quality is great, and the open back design lends well to gaming, particularly if you're in a quiet environment (wide sound-stage, good for locating where sounds come from). These have been my primary pair of headphones for my primary PC since I've had them. The sound profile I'd describe as neutral warm. There is some rich bass, but I wouldn't describe as thunderous or bumping, it does trail off in the deeper frequencies, as is common for open-backs, but it's not as lacking as one might expect. I find this shine when acoustic instruments are played, although I don't thinks there is a genre these don't do well in. Another area where this shine is comfort. The lightweight construction, padded band, and ear pads, with a breathable open-back design means these stay comfortable, even after hours of use. Even when I did find a headphone whose sound signature I preferred (DT-770; that deep sub-bass *drool*), I found it wasn't really worth the hassle to switch headsets constantly to again access to the mic, especially when a friend called on Discord, so the PC37X remained my primary because of how well the balanced the entire package is. The mic has been great from my subjective view, but the general consensus seems to be "above average; dedicated mics are still better, but this is a good starter mic unlike other headsets in its class". I used mine for some streaming, and it really does clean up well once you can set up some filters. I never felt the need to upgrade it, although I did add a Schiit Audio Hel DAC/Amp, which included a mic input with gain control, so that may have helped. With all the said, the giant question mark is what is the support status for these? I picked these up for $100 in 2019, and can no longer find replacement part for something used by multiple product lines. If it is supported, that's a giant red-flag. If that is not the case, and these have officially been discontinued, this should be priced to clear; charging someone full price knowing well that you won't be able to support them seems to be a really shady thing to do. In either event, I can't make a solid recommendation, even if these are a solid product. If you don't care and just want a solid headset to use until the wiring gives out, these aren't bad, but given the age and lack of support, I'd wait for a discount.
