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

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

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.

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.

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.

Great headset. Sounds superb and is very comfortable.

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.
