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.

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.

Quality feel
Love how these sound. Being open back i was worried they wouldn't sound that well but the audio space is full plus you can still hear everything going on outside of your audio.

Excellent bang for your buck
I'm now 4 years in and the plastic around the mic arm is finally starting to fall apart, but with a bit of DIY I expect to get another couple years out of them. Love the convenience of having a decent in-built mic, and the mute feature by just lifting it is easy as. The sound quality is superb considering the price. And they're light, but large around the ears, making for a super comfortable experience.

Great sound, mic life pretty good
Audio quality was great combined with a mic that easily mutes by being pulled up. Mic fell off about a year into lifespan and had to be taped back on to squeeze another two years out of it, which says something about the durability of my tape. You get a lot of bang for your buck with these.

Impressed.
Just got these, and I'm extremely impressed by both the music capability. The microphone is also very impressive for a gaming headset, which often lack good microphone quality.

Best open back headset
Probably the best open back headset on the market. Amazing sound and mic performance. Comfortable. Only real con is the all plastic build.
