DROP + EPOS PC38X Wired Open Acoustic Gaming Headset with Over-Ear Open-Back Design | Velour Earpads | Gaming Headphones Compatible with PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox, Mac, and More (Black)

For gaming, they are absolutely class. There are more expensive headphones that have X and Y features and go on and on about how they can make you hear the other player breathing in the other side of the map. Nonsense. These headphones are as good as they come for gaming. You hear everything in the game as crisp as the sound design of the game allows you too. That alone is enough to recommend them but the headphones have more features. For listening to music, 10/10 you would have to go to the £500+ bracket to get better sounding headphones. For everyday use, I use this headphones for taking calls. The microphone is rather good and both the people I call and my teammates in videogames appreciate that. Get over the fact they are not wireless, they are worth it. 10/10

Audio quality competitive with my AirPods Max which cost much more. Lovely detail in both gaming and music, and bass is better than I expected. 3D audio in games like Days Gone is great, can hear zombies chasing behind you as you ride your bike. Mic is decent. Light. Braided cable. Hardware volume dial. Open back means it feels like proper speakers in your room would sound. No unnecessary NC gimmicks. Comes with 2-connector cable for PC as well if you have separate mic input. Nothing not to like, especially at this price. Very happy PS4 Pro user.

I have owned so many headsets for gaming my wife hates me. Honestly it's an obsession. These are great. Not perfect but great. They fit nicely and are lightweight. The sound quality is amazing and can be EQ'd to be even better (base a little light). The only 2 issues I have is the clamp force us quite high at the start (that eases through use) and the stock pads are both quite hard. I bought the wicked cushions freeze ear pads and it's way more comfortable. If you want a basic wired gaming headset that just delivers equality audio, look no further.

The headset is comfortable, and reminds me a lot about my old Game One's. These could be seen as an update to those headphones. While the headset was great, the microphone lets in a lot of breathing sounds. I compared this against a ATH-M50xSTS-USB and a ModMic Wireless in a Teams call. In isolation, this device would have done well, but everyone on the call found this to be the worst performer. What surprised me, is that the ModMic wireless turned out to be the best performer - the ATH was really clear, but was too loud. I realise I could find a way to turn down the gain - however, I left all devices at default settings when doing this test. Back to the PC38X, so the sound is good, but the mic could be better. I then compared these to my Sennheiser HD560s, and I found the 560s to provide better sound. The hinges on the PC38x are not as sturdy as on the 560's - I think they would be far more likely to break. My suggestion is - if you want an easy solution, choose the PC38X. But if you are prepared to spend a bit more, consider a pair of 560's with a ModMic USB. It will be annoying with the cables, but I think the performance increase is worth it.

Comfortable. Better with replacement ear muffs from 3rd party since the original ones are a bit narrow. Good sound and the most important they do not heat your ears much

Imaging and soundstage are amazing, I’ve tried many headsets. I was concerned about openback but it’s no issue at all. I use these for FPS as for footstep placement they shine.

No sound comes from either headphone. Bought a 3.5mm jack to usb converter, that doesn't work either. Cant return it too because its past return date. Feel scammed.

Bought these purely so I could hear myself talk when gaming. Never considered I would not be able to hear myself due to the constant squeek and squeel whenever any I move an inch. If I'm motionless they are great - but who can sit that still whilst gaming? Considering sending back - will give them another day or so.

Just received the headphone. It sounds absolutely amazing! a easy 10/10 headphone

Provenendo da un paio di classiche cuffie da gaming la differenza è astronomica, specialmente se siete anche amanti della musica oltre ai videogiochi. Con ogni cuffia da gaming che ho avuto modo di provare c'è sempre stato un fattore comune: i bassi vengono fortemente esagerati, il che non è del tutto da buttare durante il gaming, ma se provate ad usarle anche per ascoltare della musica non hanno assolutamente il bilanciamento adatto per riprodurre fedelmente un brano. Con queste invece è tutta un'altra storia. Nascono come un paio di ottime cuffie da studio alle quali è stato montato un microfono tipico delle periferiche da gaming e questo gli permette di eccellere per ogni tipo di utilizzo che se ne vuole fare. Per darvi un'idea, dalla mia esperienza personale posso dirvi che riascoltando le mie canzoni preferite mi sono accorto di un'intera nuova gamma di suoni che non avevo mai sentito in passato. Inoltre, se non avete mai provato un paio di cuffie open back come queste, fatelo, è davvero un'esperienza fantastica. PRO: + Qualità del suono eccezionale per il prezzo alla quale vengono vendute + Molto comode, leggere e fresche (essendo open back l'aria non rimane intrappolata) + In dotazione due cavi rivestiti in nylon che vi permettono di collegarle a qualsiasi dispositivo tramite il jack da 3.5mm, ma anche un'ottima busta in stoffa per il trasporto + Per lo più realizzate in plastica, ma sembrano davvero robuste e danno una sensazione premium + Qualità audio del microfono sopra le aspettative, nessuno dei vostri amici si lamenterà del vostro microfono + Ottimo il feedback dei controlli presenti sulle cuffie: potenziometro per il volume e muto del microfono sollevando l'asta + Il design open back vi permette di sentire il tono della vostra voce e evita spiacevoli inconvenienti nelle sessioni serali CONTRO: - Si collegano solo tramite cavo con jack audio da 3.5mm - Open back è sinonimo di assenza di ogni tipo di isolamento acustico: se siete soliti giocare in ambiente rumoroso queste cuffie non fanno per voi; se invece, come me, l'unico rumore presente nella stanza è quello del vostro PC fisso, allora non avrete problemi

Buena calidad de audio, buen microfono, buen largo del cable. Son cómodos y tienen un buen peso, además de que la caja incluye cojines extra para cambiar cuando lleguen a inevitablemente desgastarse los primeros con el tiempo.

Das PC38x finde ich vom Tragecomfort und vor allem vom Klang mit der offenen Bauweise her hervorragend. Viele bemängeln am Anfang den hohen Anpressdruck, aber bei meinem Kopf hat es anscheinend gepasst. Es ist sehr leicht und mit den Stoffpolstern auch über Stunden angenehm zu tragen (beiliegende Velourpolster habe ich nicht getestet). Ich teste alle Headsets immer in der Dolby Atmos App an meiner Xbox Series X mit der Sound-Demo „Amaze“. Leider musste ich hier feststellen, dass beim Donnergrollen, also bei tiefen Frequenzen, die Membrane anfangen zu klappern oder zu rasseln. Das habe ich aber auch beim H6pro oder dem Game One von Sennheiser festgestellt. Vielleicht liegt es an der offenen Bauweise. Ich möchte das Headset aber deswegen nicht abwerten, da es im normalen Spielbetrieb nicht wahrnehmbar war. Für die offene Bauweise hat das Headset erstaunlich gute Bässe. Ich habe das Produkt dennoch zurückgeschickt, da meine anderen meist geschlossenen Headsets sehr wohl mit tiefen Frequenzen ohne Verzerrungen umgehen können. Für den Preis (im Sale 140€) möchte ich auf jeden Fall ein tadelloses Produkt. Leider konnte ich bisher kein anderes offenes Headset finden.

Los compré para mi hijo que juega mucho a videojuegos en la play. Pero yo quería que además de tener micrófono tuvieran gran calidad de sonido para que los pueda utilizar también escuchando música. Es bastante complicado encontrar auriculares con micrófono que tengan una calidad de sonido buena para música, con una respuesta de frecuencias que sea plana y no esté pasada de graves como muchos auriculares comerciales. Estos son perfectos. La calidad de sonido es comparable a auriculares específicos de música de alta fidelidad, pero incorpora el micrófono que es de muy buena calidad. Son algo caros pero realmente valen lo que cuestan.
