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!

Pc38x is way better! Trust me, fidelio is more bassy and dark but not in a good way. I own the pc38x and gsp 500. I like them both alot for different reasons. I owned alot of headphones and for gaming these are the best.
I hear footsteps that my teammates don't typically catch, and they're using the "gaming" branded headsets (astros, arctis pro, hyperx, etc).
The PC38X, "not to mention every pair comes with a set of both knit mesh and classic velour earpads."
My Sennheiser Game Ones from 2/2016 are still in like new condition, but I only use it when voice is needed.

Unfortunately, I cannot loosen the clamp even after owning since launch. Any other tips besides placing on something for a long time?
Anyway to answer most other's people question: from what I've heard this isn't a must have upgrade over the PC37x (which is currently being sold by Drop for $95). However if you're in the market for a headset and are used to the sound if gaming headsets, these are pretty great. These aren't up to the level of more dedicated audiophile headphones, but they're also $130 with a built in microphone and two sets of pads. Also in comparison with the Phillips X2, these are nowhere near as bass heavy as those, but those are very bloated bass heavy headphones as is. If your definition of good audio quality is tons of bass, get those. If you want more balanced and clear sounding headphones, get these or even the PC37x
I have had my Sennheiser's disintegrate. Just replaced the pads, actually.
