Great set of gaming headphones

Both Series X controllers and the Dualsense drive these extremely well

Only concerns are:
- somewhat iffy cable that can cause some noise against clothing
- a volume wheel that can be a bit wonky

Watch youtube videos - these are rated the best headphones for both the Series x / PS5

At $120 makes the PS5 3D Pulse and Xbox Headphones look like pieces of trash (esp insulting considering they both run around $100)
Are you using the Dualsense to drive this? I'm interested in this, but everything I've read is the Dualsense is a terrible driver of wired headsets.

My gf has a pair of these and the Dualsense drives them great

I have my own pair of HD58x with Dekoni pads that i use with the Dualense (then i just use the microphone built into the controller even if it sounds like a tin can) and those are driven so well that I need to set my volume at 80 on COD

Try them worst case return them - they are that good

That being said due to the microphone and volume wheel I'd definitely pay the little bit extra for warranty which covers accidents as well

shieeet... At $100 I would've snagged it immediately, would've thought about it @ $110, but now @ $120 I think I'll pass, considering the 37X has been like $70 or $80 in the past.

Thanks for checking that out (I was on mobile at the time) and posting the deal
Dang. And now you made me stutter. Do you think the 37X will drop to ~$80 soon for BF? I don't know if I want to take the plunge.

Thanks!

Anyone have a Sennheiser HD 560s and these to compare? Also curious if anyone knows of a 560s deal for Black Friday....might just cop these.

Thank you OP!
I owned both and cross referenced them.

560s is the much better headphone for music listening unless you absolutely hate any kind of treble peak. It just sounds higher resolution/clearer, and listening to something like jazz or orchestral music on it sounds really really great! However that treble peak is really annoying if you wanna use them for gaming since it'll make high pitched gunshots, glass breaking, and other *tink* noises pierce a little. Also the 560s doesn't power as easily as you'd think, running it off a ps5 or series x controller didn't allow it to get very much volume for me. So if that's your intended use case, then the pc38x is much better.

The PC38x is a pretty solid headphone with nice sounding bass and enough treble and mids to make the sound pretty balanced, although listening to music probably wont make you go "wow" like a 560s would. Mic is not removable however. Pc38x comes with cloth memory foam earpads as well as velours, 560s has just velours. They're both about the same comfort, build quality, temperature on the ears, and clamp.

As for deals on the 560s, it's $20 off at Best Buy right now, best I've seen it priced at Smilie I own AKG K712's, an HD660s, an HD6xx, and the $1000 Focal Clears, and have owned Sundaras. None of them quite scratch the *same* itch the 560s does when it comes to jazz music, it just has really beautiful sounding upper mids

Never mind. Just verified, the PC37X is already discounted to $95 from $120 on the Drop website.

How would these compare to their GSP-650 series? I'm looking for spatial and DD capabilities for Xbox series x

I own these and they are great. Super comfy and tuned just right for gaming in my opinion.

Great for FPS games and in Battlefield 2042 for example, due to the wider sound stage it really brings things to perspective.

Out of all my current and prior gaming heads, I prefer the PC38X's. For the price it dusts more expensive headsets in the quality of the sound. Sure, it's not going to win any fashion shows, but I think most people would rather win where it matters...game on...

If I just rip out the mic out of the PC38x...think the headset will still work? I hate mics in my headsets, especially ones that stick out/up like this

The mic on the PC3XX headphones is set firmly in place (though it does swivel) so you'll probably break the headphone by trying to remove it. If you don't need the mic then look at a different headphone like the 58X which is on sale for the same price but I believe all the Senn's on Drop are on sale atm other than the 8XX.

I have the HD 560s and these PC38X.

The HD 560s sound clearly better to me, even for gaming. The bi-directional sounds are clearer for FPS gaming. I bought an add-on microphone from Amazon for the HD 560s.
Works great for Overwatch.

The HD 560s are more comfortable, too. Less clamping force.

Thought I replied to you but looks like it didn't go through. Obv I can't guarantee anything, but the two usually go on sale at the same time. Search for them here to see previous pricing.

I would've guessed $80-$90 based on the PC38X pricing and the 37X pricing in previous years, but guess not? Maybe it'll go closer to or on BF, but who knows. I know it seems like we say this every year, but this BF really blows...

This is wired…

Those are wireless options…

You cannot be serious about comparing the two

Actually I can be serious.

Those two are the consensus go to headphones for both next gen systems.

Both cost $100.

Both are trash.

Some people who would buy these wireless headphones would make an exception if it meant much more comfortable and accurate headphones esp considering they are powered from the controller and dont require you to be tethered to the system
