Open back (my preference but some may want closed).
Fantastic mic as well. Mutes when you swing the mic up.

2. Will these fit a small head. My ATH-M50 cans are a bit too big for me but my Philips SHP9500 fit ok if that helps.
3. How do these compare to the Philips SHP9500 cans?
That said, for the same amount of money you can usually get better sounding headphones, it just won't be all-in-one. I have a Sony MDR7506, and it sounds better than headsets I've heard that cost twice as much.
Question of my own for owners: anyone who own these who can comment on how much weight they put on top of the head? Every headset I try ends up giving me headaches... Either they're heavy and pull down on top of my head, or they're pressing into the sides enough to cause pressure headaches. Pretty frustrating.

I'm happiest using the Sennheiser 560S with a Boom Mic with a Mayflower ARC MK2 DAC/AMP to drive it. I basically use this for everything. This DAC/AMP is one of the few that has a Microphone input.
The 560S is very very good for music. It's well-reviewed for it's sound fidelity - accuracy and overall clean sound. It also does well for FPS gaming. When I play a shooter like Overwatch, it does well to tell me where to turn without needing 7.1 virtual sound enabled in any other source.
The ARC MK2 DAC/AMP is around $300 these days by itself, which is obviously a lot more than getting the PC38X by itself.
However, the Drop PC38X is simply a great all-rounder by itself. Great sound quality for music, coming from what's labeled as a Gaming Headset. The reviews on R-Tings and other websites are excellent, too.
I would be pretty happy just using the PC38X with onboard audio plugged directly into a desktop. On sale for $116, this is a great value for a gaming headset that sounds also great playing music and videos.

I found a video of a guy comparing the two as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6mnT0A
