(as of Jan 03,2025 14:42:45 UTC – THE PC38X IS BACK IN BLACK – Our gaming headset PC37X is an upgraded version of the popular PC37X, offering a higher level of comfort, production quality and sonic performance. To celebrate the name change from Sennheiser Gaming to EPOS. It is the same iconic headset, with a refined look to complement any setup. Featuring the precise drive found on Sennheiser’s acclaimed headsets GSP 500 and 600, the PC38X delivers vivid sonic detail with an ultra-wide frequency range. It is also easier to drive than the PC37X, thanks to a reduced drive impedance of 28 ohms. On the outside, a plush headband with breathable mesh-knit cushions and a split design keeps you cooler and better supported for long sessions. Both knit mesh and classic velvet ear cushions are included, so you can choose your favorite fit. Finally, for enhanced compatibility, the PC38X comes with two cables: a 3.5mm TRRS cable for mobile devices and consoles (no adapter required) and a split cable for PCs. LOCATION ACCURACY: A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE – Simply put, the PC38X helps you hear enemies and sense your surroundings more clearly. Thanks to its angled drive and open back, it offers better stereo imaging and location accuracy, allowing you to identify exactly where enemy movements, bullets and incoming threats are coming from. The drive comes from the same family as the Sennheiser GSP 500 and 600, two of the highest quality gaming headsets on the market. They offer better quality at low frequencies than the original PC37X, making your games and music feel more lifelike than ever before. CLEAR, AMBIENT-FREE COMMUNICATION – The noise-canceling microphone harkens back to microphones originally invented for pilots as part of Sennheiser’s first compact microphone project. The microphone is designed for high-volume, short-range recording and optimized for dealing with unpleasant pops and hisses; great for Zoom calling and video chatting. In fact, many games today are recorded with Sennheiser equipment, which speaks to the quality of Sennheiser’s microphone capsule. Plus, you can mute the microphone by simply turning it up, which gives a satisfying click so you can feel when it’s muted.

Title: Aesthetic, high quality material, Excellent sound. Surpasses many gaming headsets.
Review: I bought this headphone after watching many reviews and headphone comparisons. I can tell you that this is far far better than any SteelSeries, Razer or any expensive gaming stuff. I also looks casual so you don’t look like an alien while wearing it. DROP + EPOS is a side brand of Sennheiser anyway so don’t expect something bad, they are the leaders in sound market.

Title: Perfect replacement for Sennheiser PC 363D
Review: This replaced my Sennheiser PC 363D as my daily headset practically because it is identical, and that’s a good thing. I prefer an open ear headset so I’m not deaf to my surroundings and I will be honest this is a disadvantage in any FPS. But the sheer quality of sound and comfortability easily makes up for it.

Title: Outstanding – near perfect product
Review: I’ve used these at work for a year now, because I don’t like being sound-isolated from my surroundings, and I don’t like shouting on Teams calls. These headphones are near perfect. The only thing I miss is a USB adapter, but I just use the one off my old Hyper-X headphones!

Title: Exceptional
Review: The audio quality is really good, it is so much easier to pinpoint locations when listening in games. They are comfy, and the push up to mute on the microphone is a good feature. I’ve taken to using them for work too. It’s plug and play so they just work

Title: VERY NICE HEADSET WITH A DESIGN FLAW
Review: USED THESE DAILY FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND WAS GREAT UNTIL THE MICROPHONE LITERALLY CAME LOSE IN THE MIDDLE AND WENT FLOPPY (UNUSABLE) – VERY SAD TO HAVE TO STOP USING THESE.

Review: Plusieurs semaines d’attente pour avoir ce casque mais je ne suis pas déçu. Quelle qualité sonore et quel confort, la largeur de scène en fait un très bon casque pour les jeux immersifs ou compétitifs. La localisation des sons est impressionnante. Son format “casque ouvert” permet de ne pas avoir trop chaud, couplé a son poids restreint qui permet de le garder sur la tête pendant des heures d’affiler. Le mieux est d’avoir une carte son externe dédiée pour lui donner tout son sens.

Review: Also vorne weg, dieses Jahr habe ich mich irgendwie komplett in Headsets verloren. Das ist aber wirklich jetzt das letzte Headset was mir zugelegt habe. Im Grunde habe ich jetzt 8 Headsets, aber nur zwei Ohren.Schuld ist natürlich die Arbeit, weil wir von Jabra mit QD Kabel auf Telefonie über mit Plantronics mit USB umgestellt haben. Dann kam halt noch Homeoffice und meine Faulheit nicht ständig das Headset mit dem dünnen Kabel hin und her zu schleppen. Da hatte ich mir das erste Headset ein TS-451m (Takstar) besorgt und war sowas von dem Sounderlebnis weggeblasen, dass es nur noch den Weg zu immer besser bewerteten Headsets für mich gab.Nun endet die Reise mit zwei Headsets dem Takstar Shade und diesen Headset dem PC38X . Das PC38X hat zu allen anderen Headsets, die ich vorher genutzt habe einen komplett anderen Ansatz und ist dadurch nicht für das Büro geeignet. Headsets wie das Takstar Shade schirmen mich als Nutzer ab indem diese die Außengeräusche reduzieren, beim PC38X kann ich dagegen beim Musik hören noch hören wenn ich zum Beispiel das Mausrad drehe oder was Tippe oder jemand will was von mir (z.B. Kinder). Diese “offene” Bauweise des Headsets lässt einen besser das Klangbild wahrnehmen, es wirkt teilweise so als würde man über Lautsprecher hören. Dadurch gehen die ganz kleinen Details verloren und Bässe sind nicht so vordergründig, aber das Gesamtbild im Song ist viel stimmiger.Um es mal bildlich zu beschreiben: Mit meinen Lautsprechern ist es so als würde ich in etwas Entfernung ein Konzert anhören, mit dem PC38X ist es so als würde ich im Konzert in der dritten Reihe sitzen und mit dem Takstar Shade ist es so als würde ich bei den Instrumenten sitzen (kann quasi hören wenn Spieler einen fahren lässt).Musste mich erstmal 10 Minuten an die andere Art des Hörens gewöhnen, aber am Ende sind aus 20 Minuten Hörprobe fast ne Stunde “Oh lass mal den Song mit dem Headset hören” geworden. Für die Arbeit ist das Headset nicht geeignet, da ich die anderen Kollegen beim Reden hören würde und der Drucker so laut zu hören ist, dass ich dann am Headset nichts mehr hören würde. Dafür nutze ich aktuell das Takstar Shade, weil ich da Vorteile habe meine Kunden zu verstehen, wenn zum Beispiel Kundennummern durchgegeben werden (S oder F, G oder C oder B oder D oder E oder T).Für zu Hause ist das PC38X Top, gerade wenn man Nachbarn hat und Abends spät in der Nacht mal Lust hat seine Lieblingsplaylist zu hören oder einfach ne Runde Online mit Freunden spielen will.Beutel für Headset, zweimal Kabel und Ersatzohrmuscheln sind mit enthalten. Das Gesamtprodukt hat mich überzeugt und ich werde meine Freude haben viele meiner Lieblingssongs neu kennenzulernen.Beim Komfort gab es von mir einen Stern Abzug, da das Headset wir meinen Kopf doch recht eng ist und bereits einige Stufen vergrößert werden musste, würde mir da wünschen dass die Ohrmuscheln weniger doll auf den Kopf drücken, denn dann könnte man komplett vergessen, dass man gerade ein Headset auf hat. Vielleicht bin ich auch nur mehr an Leder gewöhnt und weniger an den Stoffüberzug oder das Polster müsste weicher sein.

Review: Era da tempo che tenevo d’occhio queste cuffie con microfono della Drop ma purtroppo non sono normalmente acquistabili al difuori degli Stati Uniti. Con mia grande sorpresa, le ho viste disponibili su Amazon e le ho acquistate al volo, complice anche un’offerta. Queste cuffie sono consigliatissime anche da audiofili (se, ovviamente sotto tortura, gli si chiede di scegliere tra la categoria degli headset da gaming): troverete online diverse recensioni molto positive (tutte in inglese ovviamente perché come detto questo prodotto è normalmente acquistabile solo in US).Venendo dalle mie vecchie Sennheiser PC 360, utilizzate per svariati anni prima di cominciare a dare segni di cedimento, mi sono trovato subito a casa con la qualità del suono perché queste DROP PC38X ne rappresentano un po’ la naturale evoluzione. Il suono è eccellente, molto bilanciato su tutte le frequenze con bassi che si sentono il giusto per una cuffia da gaming ma senza mai risultare invadenti. Le trovo ottime anche per ascoltare la musica di qualsiasi genere, visto la loro sostanziale neutralità.Il microfono non l’ho provato molto perché ultimamente sto giocando molto poco online ma ci ho fatto un paio di chiamate, collegate al cellulare e mi hanno sentito benissimo. Il microfono si muta automaticamente quando l’asticella viene alzata.La connessione avviene tramite jack audio da 3,5″; nella confezione troverete sia un cavo lungo per il collegamento al PC, sia uno corto con jack singolo, che risulta molto comodo per collegarlo allo smartphone oppure al pad di una console. Io le sto usando principalmente collegate al controller della PS5 e funzionano benissimo vista anche la bassa impedenza.Ci sono dei contro, ovviamente, altrimenti avrei dato 5 stelle. In primis, la qualità costruttiva potrebbe essere migliore: sono troppo plasticose, anche se la plastica è sicuramente di buona qualità, hanno un aspetto abbastanza cheap. La rotella del volume, esattamente come le mie vecchie PC 360, è un potenziometro analogico e facilmente sarà la prima cosa a dare problemi. Nella confezione sono presenti dei pad auricolari alternativi in velluto (quelli installati di base sono in tessuto) ma non sono presenti istruzioni per la sostituzione, quindi temendo di danneggiarli, non li ho nemmeno provati (anche perché fa troppo caldo per il velluto 😀 )… capisco il voler ridurre l’impatto ambientale ma almeno un fogliettino con due istruzioni in croce lo avrei messo. Per ultimo, ma non meno importante, ho trovato queste cuffie esageratamente strette, il che le fa stare bene in posizione, per carità, ma le rende un po’ scomode per sessioni prolungate o per sentire la musica.Tutto sommato comunque le straconsiglio, soprattutto se riuscite a prenderle entro i 150 euro. Un paio di paragoni con cuffie che ho provato:HyperX Cloud II: Le HyperX hanno bassi e spazialità migliori (a seconda dei gusti però potrebbero anche risultare eccessivi) ma poi si perdono su tutto il resto perciò le PC38X vincono a mani basse secondo me.Sennheiser HD599: le HD599 hanno alti pazzeschi ma mancano di bassi e secondo me, per quanto ne dicano i Prodigeek che le consigliano sempre, non sono cuffie per giocare, quindi molto meglio le PC38X per giocare… tanto più che il microfono va preso a parte…. per la musica secondo me pure ma lì va più a gusto e dipende pure dal tipo di musica. Le HD599 però sono enormemente più comode da indossare.Sennheiser PC 360: che cmq è un modello vecchio che non trovate più in commercio e le PC38X sono la naturale evoluzione. Suono forse un po’ migliore overall, comodità peggiorata per l’eccessiva clamping force.

Review: Bought the headset 30th December 2023 and as of today September 5th they no longer work well, they have developed a loud crackling sound. Ive checked all the cables unplugged and replugged it all still the same.I figured id be able to return it since its not even been a year then seen the return window closed on 31st Jan… 1 month warranty?Quality issues aside, they dont noise cancel well at all but they do provide better positional sound in some games.
