In this video I review the Drop x Sennheiser PC38X, a follow-up to the PC37X that I bought with my own money—so this is straight, honest feedback. I go over the basics (28 ohm dynamic driver, 253g, $170), build, accessories, comfort, mic performance, and then I get into the sound with both pad options. Build-wise, I’m not going to sugarcoat it: it feels really cheap, with thin plastic yokes and sharp molding edges. Comfort is pretty standard Sennheiser 500-series—clamp is noticeable, but the headband padding is solid, and you get two pad materials. Sound-wise, I prefer the velour pads because they give a bit more bass extension and keep the treble from sounding oddly dulled like it can on the cloth pads. Tuning is fairly balanced with decent bass extension for an open-back, some roll-off below ~50 Hz, and a slightly darker top end with less air above 10 kHz. The bigger downside is technical performance: detail is fairly low, transients feel smoothed over, and the stage isn’t especially wide. My takeaway is simple: if you truly need a gaming headset, the PC38X is one of the best-sounding options. But at $170, it’s a tough sell versus regular headphones plus a separate mic, and it falls behind similarly priced “real headphones” for music.
