The Sennheiser Drop PC38X: Top-tier Gaming Headset!

[@Mini-z1994]

​@@DawidDoesTechStuff Noticed too late you had quit using your twitter for now heh. Anyway i sent this. Hey Dawid Would you be able too find out if something like a gtx 1650 or 1650 super works in a system with a legacy bios like say socket am3 or 1366 ? Might need too contact the company you are buying it from first ofc if they have specific models that has a legacy vbios of some sort. Might make a good video for people on a budget as while i was answering a reddit thread about a socket 1366 pc needing an upgrade & he had about 400 usd i hinted at contacting the support for a few companies too find out which ones work or go with a used graphics card like a gtx 970. Though i came across this thread mentioning a pny reference cooler gtx 1660 working on a h55 motherboard. forums.anandtech.com/threads/gpus-with-legacy-bios-support-how-do-you-know.2554926/#post-39982349 Reddit thread of the guy wanting too upgrade ram & graphics card in his old socket 1366 system. www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/j7uiz3/i_have_a_weird_question_for_you_all/ I myself got a 1660 super recently in my 1155 pc z7 motherboard + latest bios. Besides a cpu bottleneck limiting my framerates a bit I'm happy with it, seriously solid upgrade from a r9 280 that died & certainly a astronomical performance increase from the HD 5770 i was stuck with for a bit over a month lol. Locked i5 2500 so max 4.1 ghz 1 core & 3.9 ghz all core on my z77 chipset motherboard. But eh it was free, might buy a used I7 3770k & push that too 4.4 ghz or so & a ssd or an I5 2500k & overclock that, mostly play hunt showdown & borderlands 3 as the newest titles, everything else is smooth for me that i play, havent tried battlefield 1 though, might do that when i get back home.

I think the bass in these is a little exagerrated when listening on high volumes but their sound is amazing considering the price.

That is a good point, although I think that exaggerated bass works pretty well for gaming. :)

[@sudros7594]

As a person who does know what an explosion sounds like, up close, if and when a headset can also recreate that thud sensation in your chest, then they are the ones to buy. Don't know how I missed this vid when it went live. Found it while I was at work but at least it gave me something new to watch. Keep it up. I find you to be one of the most entertaining youtubers I watch.

[@sandyamaulana2317]

Yeay! Great review! Never knew you are a headphones enthusiast (I won't use the term "audiophile" because that term is, uh, er, like that)! I am actually much more curious about the 58X than these, since I am in the market for an all-rounder pair of headphones.

[@viceroyproductions1]

Thanks for the tip, sir. Definitely going to consider them for my next set of gaming headphones. I’m currently using the Beats Pro, which are amazing for production, but I’ve thought about getting a set just for gaming so I can keep my Beats in my studio lol. Are you perhaps looking for music for your videos? I figure you’re probably not interested in replacing your intro music, but if you were thinking about changing it, I have composed something that would work quite nice for intro music. Thanks again for the content. I make sure to check out every new video. Quality stuff, sir.

It's nice to see another drop product look like a butt so they don't sell out too quick.

[@ydid687]

lol..as an audiophile gear enthusiast experience i can tell that you have highlighted the opposite use-case we recommend with these cans. get the audio-technica r70x for the gaming focused imaging and soundstage reproduction or if you feel like it the HD 800; budget options are koss ksc75 and the akg 612

[@gabrielschirmbeck400]

Audiophilles use strange words to describe sound, but midrange as John Mayer singing "your earwax is a wonderland" is certainly one of the best

[@billwiley7216]

Considering they are being marketed as a GAMING HEADSET then it makes sense tthe tuning is biased more to gaming than a headset more tuned for music. The 58x may be about the same price if doing double duty as long as your gaming does not need a microphone included but if you do is another added expense.

Talking about easy to drive, that arrow nicely hides the sound pressure level. Then again, I doubt it matters because they don't specify whether it's x amount of dB per mW or volt so whatever.

Toss with cornstarch and set aside while you prepare the vegetables. Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or wok. Cook the beef in 2 small batches over medium high until browned, about 2-3 minutes (beef does not need to be cooked through). Remove from pan and set aside. Add vegetables to the pan and cook about until tender crisp, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside with the beef. Combine sauce ingredients except corn starch in a bowl and stir well. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the sauce. Bring to a simmer. Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water (or broth) and add it the sauce a little bit at a time while whisking to reach desired consistency. Let simmer 2 minutes. Add vegetables, beef (and any juices) to the pan and cook until heated through. Serve with noodles or over rice.

I have HD58x. They have amazing clarity and resolution, their soundstage is lacking. It's not wide enough for gaming imo. I use HD558 or DT770 pro for gaming over 58x

That's what matter in gaming. Imaging is better than soundstage . If you want bigger soundstage get the hd700 or the hd800.
