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!

I tried using them for Discord, but the microphone is barely audible, even with everything turned up to max. The sound is also very low, even if I turn it up to max. I have a built-in Audio card (ASUS ROG Motherboard).
Thanks!
The same goes with the headphones. If your onboard audio has an option to deliver more power to the headphones, you'll need to use that feature.
I would recommend this sound card [amazon.com] if you're looking for a good fit with this headset. I think it's reasonable at $40 and can drive headphones with up to 300ohm impedance.
I also have the 37x and those are good as well (got both as open box in pristine condition for super cheap) I do appreciate the 38x having both cables especially in a case where a cable gets damaged (I think my mic cable on the 37x is having issues), so you could replace them. The 38x audio is a little better, and I think I remember that Joshua dude on YouTube having a good comparison video (I want to say the drivers were updated but I can't remember for sure). The 37x is the clear winner for color, though you could fix that by slapping a Wu-Tang Killah bee on the 38x. 😉
Another bonus over the 37x is the 38x comes with 2 sets of pads - velour and I think a pleather. I've kept the velour on as I'm used to those. I have a fat head (bigger than 7.5 hat) and the 38x is comfortable for long sessions. I'd say more comfortable than the alienware.
I'd love to get these but I don't think I can justify spending up to 50% more than the 37X for which other than the slightly improved sound, is an identical model. While I can always be convinced wrong, it depends on the individual and what they value more and atm (during/after pandemic), prolly won't be, so hope both models will be cheaper on BF.
As far as footsteps you need a headphone that has very good imaging and sound separation so that when multiple players/sounds are around you in game, you can distinguish footsteps from other sounds explosions etc and which direction left right above below . Plenty of higher end cans can do this , the PC38x however is a perfectly good example and top tier in sound stage, imagining and detail under 150.
If you need close back maybe look at game zero from sennheiser but again you will be sacrificing the sound awareness that you get with a larger sound stage in favor of perhaps subbass and sound isolation.
Where'd you get either of these open-box in pristine condition for super cheap? Amazon Warehouse hasn't had the PC37X > Acceptable or the PC38X for cheaper than what they cost brand new at Drop right now w/ the new user discount (while the latter hasn't even dropped below this price).

I set an eBay notice and lucked out on both. The 38x almost looked like a bunch were snatched up for an event, I'm not sure. All I know is they didn't look like they were out of the box such as no prints, hair, flakes lol. The 37x were a gift to whoever and they didn't need them. That's how the story went anyway. Both had good feedback and I used paypal in case I needed to reject them.
I got the 38x only because that is what I was after but didn't find a good deal until after the 37x. My son is working towards 'buying' the 37x off of me. 😉
So I have Audio Technica ATX50b or something like that. I set that up with a vmoda boom pro mic and then I hooked up to my Xbox controller. So here is my issue: the mic quality is not excellent. My buddies report a faint buzzing/static Everytime I speak. They say it doesn't bother them but it's there regardless. So if anyone can comment on the mic quality for Xbox use I would appreciate it. Thank you.

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
For regular gaming, the X2 would be great, but if we're talking specifically FPS playing then no, the PC83X would be better.
Never an issue, these come with two styles as well
