If you don't know Drop.com, they used to be known as Massdrop.com. They have been around a long time. Reputable company. Used to focus on organizing group buys to direct ship products to you from vendors at wholesale prices. Now they just get decent prices all around.
If you're familiar with the Sennheiser GSP 500, GSP 600 or Game One headsets, this is better version of them all.
I've had Game Ones for years and bought the PC38x for $170 last year. Even though it's cheaper now, I don't regret the purchase. Sound reproduction is better than my older Game Ones. These are really great open air headphones, mic is very good too. My personal favorite thing about the mic is the manual shut off by swinging the mic arm upwards.

However, one of the biggest differences is the purpose. This is a gaming headset and includes a really high quality microphone with Sennheiser quality speakers and build.
1 black band = mono (single channel)
2 black bands = stereo (2 channels)
3 black bands = stereo plus mic input (3 channels)
Sorry if I wasted anyone's time!

Having used both the soundstage of the X2 is much more pronounced. More bass more punctuation. However for video gaming these are great as the soundstage is immense and locational awareness is great. Also the mic is very high quality and mutes when you life up and pull down. I started with a X2 and a modmic but I greatly prefer the all inclusive product these offer. That being said if I had to choose I would go fully wireless as the cord for these is long and high quality(heavy).

Gaming headsets are usually factory biased to enhance gaming experience and of course has a microphone. (though this Sennheiser seems to have flatter frequency response than others)
Good or professional music headset tends to be a monitor with flat frequency response (which is not easy to make) to have closest reproduction of the sound and users listen it as original sound or use equalizer to tune to their like.
Of course, some people like basshead prefer factory biased headset already tuned to their like (then they shouldn't pay extra for a monitor headset)
My preference is to use a monitor headset with microphone and use equalizer to have a separate profile to tune for gaming experience

It comes with both cables. Traditional and console. It's all in the description
Unfortunately, I cannot loosen the clamp even after owning since launch. Any other tips besides placing on something for a long time?
