Amazing review. I dont evan comment on yt vids like that but this review was just good😭😭😭

[@TheSimChannel]

Hey Josh, hoping you will read this. I'd really like to see you get into the topic of equalization. I think a lot of people nowadays use computers to play (or mix/ record) music, where equalization is often as easy as a free or low-cost plugin. Theoretically, that should allow us to equalize out almost any weaknesses a headphone may have as far as the frequency response graph is concerned. But does it introduce any issues like distortion, or reduced dynamic range, or anything of that sort? Maybe even metering and sound stage? Do different headphones take equalization differently well, so that a weakness of headphone A can be easily adjusted for with an EQ, while headphone B falls apart trying to fix its respective issues? Why is it not discussed more often in headphone reviews? Wouldn't a 5$ plugin often get you a few hundred dollars worth of sound? Couldn't an audio-interface come with presets to flatten out the frequency response of a variety of popular headphones? Or a specialized software plugin for MacOS / Windows? Or are such things already available? If so, how do they perform? I'd love to see a video on that topic. Thanks for considering this! :)

A lot of the 38X users seem to recommend the Schiit Fulla 3 so I wanted to get your opinion if you don’t mind. Thanks so much in advance!

Man being in the UK sucks :( Right now I either buy a HD 560s for about £170 from Sennheiser UK, or this headset (which I would rather get) from drop but with all the customs charges etc, that raises the price wayyy above the HD 560s. Not to mention after sales service with the HD 560s which would be in the UK, whereas for the PC38x I'd have to send it back to the US. Really wish they didn't close the Drop EU warehouse. All of that aside, fantastic review as always, and much respect for the summary at the start of the video. Can't wait to see the HD 560s review!

I wish here was more interest in dealing with noise cancelation. Say you want good headphones for working from home so you care about the quality of the audio and long term comfort but you also want a mic that doesn't pick up any external noise like if other people re at home and you have an important work zoom meeting so don't want the sounds from them

[@WildfireX]

How would you compare this to the Tygr 300Rs? Ignoring the mic, just focusing on the headphone build/audio quality etc for both gaming and music.

[@J0hnT0m0rr0w]

I bought these headphones last year, mostly based on your review. Here's some of the gripes I've had: Plugging it directly into my laptops headphone jack made the headphones sound atrocious, and no amount of software tweaks I made could improve it. I had to buy a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter as a "DAC" substitute to get it sounding good, luckily this was a cheap purchase and fixed the audio issues almost immediately. Next issue, the microphone is horrid. I can get it sounding good in Audacity, but through discord or in a game program, everyone says I'm barely coming through properly unless I'm absolutely eating the microphone, even though all hardware cables are properly connected. The microphone handle has very little play so you can't bend it towards your face very close, and pushing it up to switch it off is very hit and miss, sometimes it shuts off, sometimes it doesn't. Aside from these issues, they're fantastic sounding cans. Has anyone else had these issues?

[@bulldog7050]

I bought this headset around a year and a half ago, and actually I've had none of those issues, plugging it into my computer 3.5mm jack sounded great, although now I do have an EQ on them. Only issues I've had were the first few times I used it in discord, my friends could hear my audio through the mic, but that went away after a few days and its fine now, kinda seems like it needed to "break in" like a subwoofer or something. Only other issue is using the volume dial creates a static noise when turning it. The mic arm also came apart, didnt break, just slid apart, I fixed it with super glue and its still holding strong, other than those minor issues, its been perfectly fine, I think its the best headset I've ever heard personally.

[@ChinmayH]

With many of us working from home, would request you do make a video on how you would suggest for best audio for virtual meetings, would you recommend a gaming headset with good mic or a usb mic + Headset combination also which ones.

Great review as always! I'm on the fence to buy the PC38X. But here is the thing, i play mainly on consoles. If i'm plugging the headphones to the wireless game controller, am i loosing the audio quality advantage wired headphones have over wireless ones? Is there a way to avoid this problem? Another question i always have is if i should stick to uncompressed stereo or choose the dolby atmos (on XBOX) or the virtual surround options most games have nowadays? Which option will give me the best sound quality, imaging/pinpoint accuracy and soundstage? Thanks Kind regards! 🙏

What would be the best Dac/Amp setup for the PC38X for the ultimate PC gaming experience?

[@rickgear2579]

have a Sennheiser PC38X. I have it hooked up to a UGREEN USB-C to 3,5mm jack. It sounds fine, but it doesn't get very loud. I want to add more volume to my headphones and use Dolby Atmos. I'd imagine that this will be more than adequate to give me more volume given the very low impediance (32 ohms) of my PC38X.

[@jayweinstein1633]

Just got the pc38x and I gotta tell ya even though I ordered a soundblaster x4 to run with it these are awsome for music and games. being open is good so I won't get yelled at for not hearing me by my wife. Snug but thats probably cause they are new. I was using corsair wireless but when the charge was dying sound would crap out. Base is nice but the sound blaster will give me the Boom boom I want for music. Joshua sounds like he is talking right in my ear. awsome.

I already have HD660s and modmic wireless and everything is great, but I wish it had more soundstage, so I am not sure if I should try 38x or 560s, or if it will be too much of a downgrade for music listening. I am not even a huge fan of 600 series vocal intimacy because in some (very rare) vocal-centric songs it feels like too much.

[@fartgoblin3631]

I don't know if anybody will reply to this, but here we go. Recently I bought the PC38X, and it arrived today. The packaging wasn't beat up, nothing was damaged, blah blah. There's those 2 cables, the splitter and the one with just 2 ends. I'm using the one with just 2 ends for my laptop. When I plug it in, audio only comes from one ear, and any level of talking sounds distant and echoey, like you're in a auditorium. Any audio that is not talking, sounds flat, dull, and is just generally not high quality. This is not my desired experience. Is it a problem with the headphones? A problem with my device? I plugged them into my 7th gen iPad, and they had the same problem. I'm using a dell G15 5511, and I plugged in another 3.5 mm headphone that I had, and it doesn't have that problem. Do I need to buy a sound card? Should I ask for a different pair? I need some help here.

[@Rosaslav]

One thing I am misssing in this review is the cable. I am owner of the PC360 (probably 1st gen of this lineup), which has fixed long thick rubber cable. This thick rubber is really good at keeping the cable straight and reducing noise from cable rubbing on my clothes. It seems that every new gen already has removable cable, which is braided (more dirt being picked up by it) and some other reviews mentioned more noise from cable rubbing the clothes... Also this new cable seems thinner, so I am worried about more tangling.

My Razer nari ultimate is awesome for some games but sucks at everything else.

[@oldandslow8994]

Thinking about getting these to test on the PS5. So far i have tried multiple sound setups with the PS5. I tried Sundaras, Dt1990s, HD58xs, Dt880s, Dt770s, QC35ii and PC37xs through a D30 Topping amp that is fed from the TVs optical out. This way sounds good but you get no 3d. I have then tried running via the output of the PS5 controller and through a FiiO amp with the above headphones and had the 3d tempest with good sound. I also tried the Hyperx cloud flights and the Logitech G pro x wireless with their dongles connect to the PS5 and this 3D sound was the by far the Best. With the Logitech sounding the best. The sound stage was huge and imaging was really good. So what i have learned after a lot of $$$$ is just cause a headphone may be great for music doesn't mean it is good for gaming! Also comfort is KING cant listen to something if it hurts you!

[@rene837]

Pretty sure that the Tygr is a good bit sharper in the upper mids and highs/treble range as it's still a Beyer. Might sound more detailed because of that but I found them to be fatigueing after a while.

@@rene837 this is something new I didn't know, I thought that it wasn't fatiguing at all. And also according to badseed tygrs are "slightly better imaging" that mixed with the fact that "soundstage is on par with k7xx" make more difficult the decision between tygr 300 or pc38x

[@pc_decisions8764]

This sounds like k712 pro area too.

Josh - would you recommend the pc37X and pc38x for work from home usage? Zoom, skype, etc primarily with light media usage for work? I wish the 38x came in the Massdrop blue so it was a bit more professional.

Why is this getting so much attention but game one isn't getting any ? I recently bought the game one for 39,95€ on sale and it's a steal. Actually prefer it over my hd560s / dt900 pro x for most games. Looking at game one vs 38x frequency response graphs I don't see how 38x would actually be better?

You should do a review of the Bose quietcomfort 2 gaming headrest! I'm curious what you'll think.

In terms of comfort and sound quality how would the Beyer DT990 pro hold up
