Description

Clear ambiance-free communication The noise-cancelling microphone is designed for high-volume low-distance recording and is optimized to handle unpleasant pops and hisses—great for gaming Skype calls and video chatting Cables - A 3 meter cable that splits into audio and mic 3.5mm plugs. Also a 1.2mm cable with a TRRS plug for inputs that accept both mic and audio channels in one plug (like a mobile device). I'll quote what I said of the GAME ONE's soundstage here. I've replaced GAME ONE with the PC38X below, though the statement is accurate to my beliefs, and applies to both.

Disclaimer: A special thanks to Drop.com for sending the PC38X out to me for review. As always, whether products are sent to me or not, I do my best in being 100% honest with my views and opinions. If I don't like a product, I will refuse to write a review of it, or at the very least mention what I don't like about them, though I like to focus on products that people would like or at the very least are interested in. The only bias I have is to my readers and making sure they know about good products. Spare Velour Pads - My guess is that these seem to be just like the velour pads used on the PC38X's older siblings. A nice inclusion, which may have an impact on comfort and sonic characteristics, if subtly so. I am a Sennheiser fan. Love 'em. So when I was in the market for a headset and saw these were on sale it was a no brainer. It's worth noting that while they do come with an in-built microphone, this only works when you’re connected through Bluetooth - not the USB-C dongle. That’s because the dongle is focused on providing low-latency audio, so there is minimal disruption between what’s happening in your game and what you’re hearing. However, it does mean that you won’t be able to communicate with team-mates online.The PC38X retains the typical dark color palette Drop uses for their variants, with little in the way of Gamer-esque flourishes (in contrast to the white GAME ONE, which was a step in the other direction with bright colors to appeal to the younger gaming crowd). For gaming, these headphones don't require a lot of power and therefore you shouldn't need an external AMP. My Xbox controller is more than capable of powering them, as well as my Switch and PC's onboard audio. The audio quality is excellent, with a great soundstage and accurate positioning for game audio. With games like Battlefield V that have great sound processing, you have an almost aimbot level of positioning. I could clearly pinpoint enemies distance and location with these headphones and whilst they won't improve my aim, they certainly help locate them faster. Overall, I'd find it hard to call the PC38X warm-warm, or bright. It sits in between, if just slightly warm. A testament to Sennheiser's prowess in tonal balancing.

The best EPOS Sennheiser gaming headsets in 2023 | GamesRadar+

This doesn't mean it's bad in games by any means, just because the FR isn't perfect for FPS it still holds up better than most gaming headsets in that regard. Gaming headsets shouldn't be hard to drive properly. This general understanding continues with the PC38X. I rarely ever keep my amplifiers in low gain, yet that's precisely what I did with the PC38X, as it sits in the sweet spot of the volume pot, on all of my amplifiers. You really don't need much. The PC38X sounds great off anything you hook it up to. My recommendation is a neutral, clean sounding dac and amp, regardless of power. Something to further aid its sharp detail and focused sound. To anyone worried about numbers, the PC38X is 28ohm, at 108db SPL @ 1khz. Very efficient. 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. The pads size and depth are large enough to fit most ear sizes, and deep enough to keep your ears from bottoming out and pressing against the driver enclosure. The pads are soft fabric, more dense than velour. I can wear the PC38X for many hours and not feel the need to take them off. The alternative velour pads are perhaps a hint more comfortable to due it feeling cooler on the ears. All in, the fact remains that the GSP 670 is one of the best Sennheiser gaming headsets - and a seriously excellent gaming headset, period.

Before I say anything of the PC38X's build quality, I have to tell you guys that I will be reiterating a lot of what I've said on the GAME ONE review (with some pasting of some statements), as the PC38X shares most, if not all design and build aspects, save for color scheme and outer cup grill design. I believe this design started with the PC360, then moved on to the GAME ONE, PC37X, and finally the PC38X. "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" must be one of Sennheiser's favorite proverbs. The next evolution in gaming headsets: An upgraded version of the crowd-favorite PC37X, our latest collaboration with Sennheiser is more comfortable, more detailed, and more stunning than the original. Featuring new drivers—the PC38X delivers higher fidelity and better frequency response While it's not massively dissimilar to the GSP 300 headset above, the GSP 500 does manage to distinguish itself in some key areas. First, the microphone is excellent. Really excellent. As soon as I started using it, my teammates commented on the quality and clarity of it. Pouch - A fabric pouch with 'DROP' printed on the surface. It's super soft, and large enough to fit the headset without any issues. Perfect to store the headset or taking it on the go.

Drop + Sennheiser PC38X Review: Inappropriately Musical Drop + Sennheiser PC38X Review: Inappropriately Musical

Sennheiser headsets of its kind have always been stellar gaming performers. The PC360 was an amazing realization of the HD595 turned headset. The GAME ONE/PC37X succeeded in making such an amazing design more musical and engaging without sacrificing the strong competitive gaming aspects of its sound. The PC38X further dips its toes into musicality and engagement while still remaining faithful to the strong gaming performance needed for competitive play. If you've felt you'd desire a more robust low end and energy from Sennheiser's open headsets, the PC38X should fit that need. The deeper low end (not necessarily bass heavy but well extended bass) really fleshes out the sound that was slightly missing from the GAME ONE/PC37X. It sounds more natural, balanced, and true to life than its predecessors. The PC38X can fill out a room quite nicely, and is absolutely brilliant when applying a virtual surround dsp for video games and other media, like movies. VENERABLE DRIVERS: The drivers come from the same family as the EPOS GSP 500 and 600—two of the highest-quality gaming headsets on the market. They offer better low-end extension than the original PC37X, so your games and music feel more lifelike than ever before. It isn't removable which I personally don't mind because this isn't something you're going to be wearing outside anyways. Thankfully the flip-up mute that is featured on all Sennheiser (now EPOS) gaming headsets is still here. Compared to the PC38x it's kinda strange. They are both priced the same, the HD58x is a downgraded HD6xx and the PC38x is an upgraded HD599 with a mic. Technical performance-wise they come close to each other. But the PC38x has an advantage as it's better in games. But the HD58x isn't that much better for music unless you prefer the smaller staging. So honestly overall I'd take the PC38x over the HD58x for most peopleCLEAR AMBIANCE-FREE COMMUNICATION The noise-cancelling microphone is designed for high-volume low-distance recording and is optimized to handle unpleasant pops and hisses—great for gaming Skype calls and video chatting. Provenendo da un paio di classiche cuffie da gaming la differenza è astronomica, specialmente se siete anche amanti della musica oltre ai videogiochi. Build quality is also really good so far. They are plastic, but don't creak or rattle. The plastic allows them to be light on your head and they feel fine for the price. I doubt there will be any issues with longevity in the long run with them. The cables are braided as well as removable, so in the event the cables break they can be replaced. Although the GSP 370s make it somewhat hard to truly, truly go for the more expensive 670, if you're after supreme Sennheiser quality, then this is the headset for you. Its performance across games of any stripe, as well as media, is supreme. In any game, it doesn't matter what's going on or what the scenario or surroundings are, the GSP 670s will give you world-beating audio clarity, depth, breadth, and detail.
