Been through all the "gaming" headsets over the decades. This is Massive improvement over the pc38x and all the others! Like cleaning all the mud out of your ears for the first time and ridding the distortions I have grown accustoming to the gaming world with pc38x being an acception . Whatever neutral means, is definitely a good thing for gaming of all sorts and a good improvement for music and movies. But situational awareness is its strongest suit. Fulla schiit to pc which is not premium but much better then my cheap Yamaha receiver. Only issue is my fulla schiit is having intermittent usb issues since going amd am4. USB Power issue maybe? I tried the 3.5mm adapter today, it introduced a lot of static I could not wiggle out. Comfortable after about a month of wearing on my just short of giant head.
Your comparison perfectly answered my unasked questions. : ) I've got the 58x and like it a lot for most music. I'm not a gamer so that's not an issue. The 58x has a decent amount of sub bass for my tastes, while the mids and highs are fantastic for vocals and acoustic instruments, so the 560s isn't for me. Thnx.
Excellent but highly recommended replacing the cable.
I got these to use as my daily drivers after using a Pc37x for gaming and AthM50x for editing and I absolutely love them. Super light and comfortable on my head just like the Pc37x with nice clean sound. I’m a huge fan of the velour padding since I don’t have to worry about it peeling/flaking like the pleather on so many other cans. The only thing I can criticize is the cable. It’s not bad, just way too long to run from my desktop amp to my head. My amp is within arms reach when I’m sitting at my desk and this only comes with a ~10 foot long cable. Still four stars though since it’s such an easy replacement.
