Drop + EPOS - PC38X Gaming Headset

senheisser pc37x or pc38x are the gaming headset you want they're standout from all the razer, logitech, steel series of the world as senheisser is an actual established audio brand. And these headsets on their own are just good which you can easily look further into

I have nothing but bad things to say about the PC38x but goddamn was is good for footsteps in siege.

The Sennheiser Drop PC38X is $200 and probably the best headset for gaming if you really just want an all in one headset. The general recommendation is to get separate headphones (DT 770, AKG k371, ath m50x) and mic (shure sm57 or sm58, antlion modmic) but anybody that just wants a simple headset will have the best experience with one of the sennheiser drop models.

If you are looking for a headphone with a built in mic then the best option would be to go with Sennheiser + Drop PC38x. Its got an amazing built in mic and awesome sound performance. It has been my daily driver since late 2023. Alternatively, you can go with a pair of decent audiophile headphones and get an external or attachable mic.

Agreed, not likely to buy any of these. I might buy the Audeze Maxwell on a great sale. I have a couple of headphones for console that can be powered by a potato, the PC38x and Aune AR5000. For PC, where I'd play competitive games, I use HE1000se, HE6se V2, and HD490 Pro. I've heard the Arya Stealth is also excellent for gaming, but I don't have that one.

As an owner of a PC38x for the past couple of years…. I can honestly say it is the best headset I have ever owned.

MMX 100’s or 300 Pro’s if you got the $ are good if you NEED the attached microphone. Otherwise, like everyone else is saying… headphones and separate microphone. I had the PC38X, and while they’re good, it’s just no comparison once you go to a decent pair of studio headphones. Whatever headphones you end up going with, USB microphones are actually good now and there’s condenser mics available that won’t require you to use a boom arm. That’s what held me back for so long, I didn’t want some cumbersome fugly arm on my desk. Ended up going with the Elgato Wave 3 USB microphone, using Wave Link software I’ve tuned it to where I can leave it on my desk and it doesn’t pick up any background noise or even my mechanical keyboard. It’s amazing.

To be fair, I’ve had the PC38X for probably well over 2 years and have really enjoyed them. It is open back, a plus if you still need to listen to the outside world or don’t want to not hear your surroundings a little easier, although there is still a good amount of volume at max. Would definitely get them again.

For a all in one you can get the DROP + EPOSPC 38X or you can get a good mic and a good headset. Either a external mic that stands on your desk, I got the HyperX Quad Cast. Or you can get the Antlion Mic mod that let's you attach it to any headset and detach it when you don't want the mic there.

I was using Tygr300r for single player and PC38x for multi, but recently grabbed the Sony MDR-MV1 and love them. Still use the PC38x for the mic but the Sony’s sound incredible for single player and movies.
