Review: Initial impressions are great, improvement to my Sennheiser 598SE open backs - I'm comparing these headphones to my Sennheiser 598SE open backs and Sennheiser 598C closed backs. I wanted to find a good pair of open back headphones with a better mic (sourced from the 598C's cable) versus the inline one on my older 598SE, which makes me sound underwater unless I hold the mic right up against my mouth. I have relatively big ears and I can't stand on-ears or around-ear headphones that are too small. Clamping force: My initial impression with the PC38X is it clamps harder than both my older Sennheiser headphones (598C and 598SE). I found that my 598SE is more comfortable than these, but it's too early to tell. I might rest these headphones on some books to loosen it a bit. Ear comfort: Comes with two sets of pads, one more vinyl-y feeling, the other more of a velour feel. I prefer the velour one for comfort, not sure how much it affects the sound as I almost immediately switched out the pads. My ears, since they are relatively big, still touches the inside of the cup from time to time, but this might be related to the clamping force mentioned above too. I still give my (older) 598SE points for comfort, but it might just be because it's well used and loved. Sound: Improved over my 598SE. I cannot compare this to the PC37X which in the packaging is explicitly mentioned as an improvement. As is my experience with open-backs, the bass isn't earth shattering, but I do hear more of it with these and I think it's just the right amount. The 598SE was pretty flat, but I do like a slight more bass which I got with this PC38X. Sound stage sounds a bit more expanded with these over the 598SE, but it's only been 3 days of listening to music all day, so take that with a grain of salt. It does sound like snare drums for example are crisper, so I still perceive an improvement. Microphone: The 598SE only has an inline mic from the cable I swapped over from my 598C, and is relatively no-frills. With the PC38X however, I love the boom mic. It automatically mutes when put upright, which is great versus finagling with my Zoom or Slack calls' mute buttons. The biggest pro for me here is the sound quality, which is largely in part of the mic sitting much closer to my mouth. I can be heard much better now, but while it's not going to be as good as a dedicated external condenser mic, this is still very good for my intended purpose and I am very pleased. Volume control: The 598 Aesthetics: The 598SE and 598C headphones that I have are both just black, which are pretty classic and understated in my opinion. With the PC38X however, you do have a bit more flair, but it's not super loud like "look at me I'm a GAMER" kind of loud with all the RGB lighting in the world. The yellow accents on the outside of the cups and on the mic are not overdone and I gladly accept it. I would've preferred a different color but hey it's not just red or overdone. The cable supplied with the PC38X is black with interweaved yellow accents on it, which I think looks nice. It is worth mentioning however that the cable on the PC38X is not compatible with the 598SE and 598C, which are interchangeable between the two. The 3.5mm jack on the PC38X is also a right angle one. Final thoughts: I really like these headphones and I've spent about half a week listening to music all day and occasionally played some games with them. I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm hoping to get years of use and love out of them like I did with my previous Sennheiser headphones.
Review: INCREDIBLY GOOD. - For the last few weeks I have been to my local big box store bringing home one expensive gaming headset after another to try, only to have to drive back in and return it to try another. I started with all the heavy hitter wireless sets, and while some were comfortable and sounded DECENT, none of them really made me feel like I was getting any appreciable bang for my buck: in the end, the audio always felt completely CRUSHED when things got hectic in Warzone, making it difficult to discern what is happening around me (directional accuracy is incredibly important). Ultimately, I decided that since I primarily play on PC, perhaps I should consider a wired set. So looking at all of the reviews, I quickly landed on the Astro a40's with the Mixamp Pro as the defacto standard for gamers in terms of a wired set. Everyone talks about how great these are. Sound quality was certainly better than any of the wireless headsets I tried (including Astro's own wireless version of this headset, the a50's) but it was still just not quite what I was looking for and for the price and all the extra hardware sitting on my desktop, I wasn't particularly thrilled with the value to dollar ratio. After a night of Warzone and not really feeling like they were that great, I decided that it was time to keep looking. Feeling like I had exhausted every option available at the aforementioned big box store, I came here. I saw these PC38x's come up over and over again from everyone that tried them saying that most gaming headsets are garbage compared to these, but since they weren't available at any local store, they stayed mostly off of my radar. I decided to just go for it and ordered a set. Showed up the same day, plugged them in, and was immediately blown away. No mixamp/DAC. No software to install. Just plug in directly to the PC, and away I go. Compared to all of the other headsets I have used in the last month, these are in a totally different class, and it's not even close. They aren't harsh at all, directional audio is excellent (footsteps are not overly loud, but when the sound quality is this good, they don't need to be). In game voice chat doesn't seem to trample all over the game audio, and on top of all of that, they are super light and really comfortable. Mic sounds great too (and I wish ALL headsets could be muted by flipping up the mic like this one with that nice audible click). I will be returning the a40's for sure, and saving almost $100 in the process. I couldn't be happier. Save yourself all of the time and money and just buy these. Of all of the gaming upgrades I have made, these are, strangely, maybe the most transformative of them all in terms of how they affect how I play Warzone. They just sound amazing. And if you also like to listen to music, these actually sound good for that too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is drop+?**
A: Drop is the company that Sennheiser partnered with to make these.

**Q: Are these 7.1 surround?**
A: Also, you can use Dolby Atmos via consoles or PCs, which will sound better than the 7.1 built into some headsets, so you really don't need headsets with gimmicky 7.1 (source: have headset with gimmicky 7.1, do not use)

**Q: Why does the yellow version say senheiser but the black say epos? Is there a difference?**
A: Sennheiser is actually the parent company, and they created a new gaming sub-brand called "epos" after this product was already created.  So the original colorway (yellow) will say Sennheiser and the new colorway (black) will have the updated branding.

**Q: How does it compare to the PC37X?**
A: I agree somewhat with Caleb, they don't sound very different than the PC37x. However, these are a little bit lighter, both in weight and the feeling on my head, and the ear pads are way cooler and more comfortable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most comfortable headset I’ve ever wore!
*by D***S on December 30, 2021*

This is hands down the best headset I’ve ever owned for gaming. After reading tons of reviews and researching forums I kept coming across these. The DROP+Sennheiser PC38X. 180 dollars seems steep for a wired headset but it is 100% worth it imo. You can’t even tell you’re wearing it. It’s so comfortable and after hours of wear it gives me no head or ear fatigue like nearly all other headsets I’ve ever used. It comes with 2 extra sets of ear cushions both different kinds of fabric. It comes with a normal singular audio cable plus one that splits into two for mic/headset ports. So it can be used on any platform with an audio port, any PC rather it have a combined mic/headset port or separate. The mic is amazing. The sound quality of the mic sounds as good as someone using a stand alone mic imo and it’s flip up to mute flip down to activate. Most “gaming” headsets have a bunch of marketing gibberish tagged on and are terrible. For FPS shooters in particular these are the best I’ve ever used. They are so amazing because the audio quality is outstanding even without a dac or anything else to push them. You can read reviews of people using these and being so impressed with the sound that they hooked them up to audiophile grade equipment to listen to music with. As for the feel they feel premium and look much better in person than in the images imo. They are also open back so you can hear everything going on around you while still being immersed in the audio. I had never tried open back headset before these and it’s phenomenal. If you have kids or still wanna be able to hear things around while but have some of the best audio here you go. The only con I can think of with this headset is if you don’t want anyone to hear what you’re listening to. Since they are open back at higher volumes people around you can hear what you’re listening to but barely. They will work on any controller with an audio port, switch, PS4/5, Xbox, lapstops, PC, whatever. The only controls on the headset is a singular volume circular dial on the right side that’s it. The mic flip controls the mute function and that’s all you need. So if you want a headset you can use on any platform, that is most likely the best sounding and most comfortable set you’re ever used then this is what you’re looking for. It also comes with a travel pouch along with the two extra sets of ear cushions I mentioned. 100% worth every penny. I included some pics of the item when you first open the box as well as the headset itself. I 100% suggest and recommend these basically over any other “gaming” headset out there FOR gaming specifically. I have tried several Razer headsets, Corsair, Kingston HyperX, Turtle Beach, and Logitech sets. These blow away all of them. The set will also adjust to fit perfectly on basically anyone and you can wear them all day without fatigue. Hope this review helps someone out. If so please like and thanks for reading. If anyone has any other questions I’ll try to answer the best I can.
