DROP Sennheiser PC38X Gaming Headset — Noise-Cancelling Microphone with Over-Ear Open-Back Design, Velour Earpads, Compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox, Mac, Mobile, and More

Product Information

In a step back to the more open design of the PC360, Sennheiser opted to ditch the slotted vent openings of the GAME ONE and PC37X, in favor of a more traditional mesh-style grill covering the drivers. Hints of red break up the usual matte black finish, although they’re still on point with the Sennheiser design and subsequently still look the business. A change from the previously used velour pads on the older headsets, the PC38X uses a denser foam padding covered in different fabric material.

But overall the headphones sound very neutral under 1k and over 1k slightly nasally and a bit dark but very balanced. In virtual surround, the PC38X is among the very best I've heard for accuracy, positional awareness, and object definition. You'll also be able to adapt, personalize, and enhance the GSP 500s if you use the headset in combination with one of the external sound cards available - the GSX 1200 Pro, particularly, and the new EPOS | Sennheiser GSX 300 (both only compatible with PC and Mac). Plus, a charging case comes with the GTW 70 Hybrid that can give the earbuds up to a total of 20 hours of battery life. There isn't much out there I've heard that would do better than the PC-38X's immediate clarity without sacrificing too much in other areas.Turning the volume all the way down doesn't completely mute the audio, yet goes low enough to allow for your attention to be diverted to the outside world.

On that note, the presentation of teammates' voice audio is also great in the GSP 500s and better than the 300s overall - voices can be difficult for gaming headsets to master, but the GSP 500 is one of the best Sennheiser gaming headsets for this.

Once again sorry for no mic samples, but look at any sample of Game one, game zero, gsp300, gsp500, gsp600, pc37x, and you will see how it sounds. Once upon a time, Sennheiser made excellent headsets for gaming that looked more sophisticated than their RGB-daubed cousins and sounded like they’d been made by a long-established pro audio company - funny, that. That's where a headphone variant of the PC38X would fit in, for those that don't want a headset/microphone, and don't wanna use an amplifier. A breathtaking cinematic experience – designed to give you goosebumps: Movie nights will never be the same again.

No part of the frequencies from midrange to treble come across overly harsh or piercing, though 5k sticks out the most in the transition from midrange to treble. They're not as efficient, and aren't ideal when used with a larger variety of things like phones, and laptops without at the very least, a decent portable amp.
