System32isBADAnother big difference, is the PC37X comes with an analog cable, terminated in two 3.5mm plugs, for game sound output and microphone input respectively. The PC373D comes with a cable ending in a digital USB dongle, which serves as an external sound card with Dolby Surround processing, a DAC, and an amplifier built-in. There is also some driver software for the PC373D.

SennheiserSo excluding the usb sound card the headphones are exactly the same or is there other built in technologies in the PC373D that allow the simulated 7.1 surround

System32isBADThe dongle in the PC373D is where the D for Digital in the name comes from. It contains a little computer (DSP), Digital to Analog converter (DAC), and amplifier. The DSP is what takes the 7.1 surround channels and processes a headphone mix that will portray the sonic difference between a sound that arrived to your ear from the front compared to a sound that arrived at your ear from behind. Once the sound reaches your two ears, you only need two transducers (and science) to create the effect of directional sound.
The PC37X is the PC373D, except in an all black colorway, and the "soundcard USB cable" replaced with an all-analog cable terminated in two 3.5mm plugs (We call it the UNP PC cable). This analog cable is available separately for the PC373D, and an ideal purchase choice if you intend to upgrade to the Sennheiser GSX 1000 external soundcard, which has upgraded technical specs of the DAC and Amp, and Sennheiser's in-house developed 7.1-to-binaural DSP.

SennheiserOh ok thanks for clearing this up for me, I believe I will purchase the PC373D, I'm a big fan of the usb connection and 7.1 AND the red highlights which go really well with my setup, thank you for clearing up my confusion. I currently have astro a40 w/o the mixamp and i cant wait to upgrade! :)

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
