I personally used the the pc37x back then and they were great for gaming and just about anything else I did with them at the time. If the pc38x is anything like them then it should be a great headset

The best ones I have had are sennheiser. The pc37x is absolutely fantastic. I now have the hd 560 s. They are open back but they’re incredible.

Drop has a Sennheiser headset that’s amazing. I had the first version of it and it was wonderful. It’s the best option if you must have a headset with a mic. The mic is good quality too. The only issue I ever had with the first version is the volume wheel stopped working and was stuck at the lowest setting so I had to open it and desolate it and bypass it. It was a known issue so there was an easy video to follow. The newer one apparently fixed that issue but I have not used it. The best option is a good pair of headphones and a mic. If you want wireless go for Sennheiser Momentum 4. They sound great and the battery lasts days.

I’ve had my sennheiser pc37x for nearly 8 years now. Super comfy, never had any issues with it, and not too crazy expensive. Now called the pc38x on drop.com. Honestly I’ll never go back to closed headphones again. Sound stage is so much better and they don’t get nearly as hot. Never had any complaints about my mic quality either.

I have a huge head and sizable ears, and I enjoy my Drop/Sennheiser PC37X - now updated to the PC38X. Good soundstage for this type of headphone and the mic works well.

Yeah, works well, never had issues with people being able to hear me.

EDIT: Worth mentioning they can be a little underpowered by the jacks alone. They perform much, much better (sound and mic) with a DAC/Amp. I use the Schitt Fulla E. Came here to post this. The PC37X and PC38X have been my daily drivers for the last ten years or so. If you're looking for something with an on-board mic, they might be your best bet. Otherwise I would get a decent pair of headphones and a standalone modmic or something.

I got a [Xonar soundcard](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCX1NY9) for my desktop as a joke it was like 28$ on sale. Such an improvement over onboard for me. In the 6 years or so Ive used the PC38x and PC37x I've gone through 3 pairs. One of which failed at the mic after 3 years from flipping up to mute constantly (50+ times a day) and the second... my dumb ass stepped on. I use them 10-14 hours a day tho every day. If you dont need the mic tho, definitely recommend going for non-gamer headphones.

Not as much as you might think, but mnostly because there really aren't "audiophile" wireless headsets in the $100 range (at least not over-ears). Most headphones in that range are going to be consumer tunes, rather than audio-focused tunes. The same is true of MOST but not all headphones aimed at the gaming market. The exceptions are things like the Epos/Sennheiser PC37x/PC38x or Audeze Maxwell. If you're willing to spend $150, the Fiio FT1 is your best bet. Get a cheap mic to pair with them.

This used to be the case, but increasingly products like the Audeze Maxwell, Fractal Scape, and HyperX Cloud III S are changing that (along with a few oldies like the PC38X/37X). At some point the convenience is worth the slight trade in quality.
