PC38X vs Game One 

What a godamn god dudes straight making a review with his own flesh and blood next to him

" if your having issues, you need to invest in some head and shoulders" LOL line had me laughing. Good stuff!

Solid straight to the point review. The co-host was great!

Great review man. Simple and straight to the point, just the way I like it.

Thanks man I just ordered a pair and I’m super excited. I hope your family is still healthy and so are you! Take care man

This video is proof that you don't need to spend 20+ hours on a video to make it good, just get straight to the point and have the content be well-rounded to hook people to come back.

have to appreciate his help there, waving bye bye to us with her feet, wholesome af

Thank you very much for uploading this. I was looking for a while for a comparison between the Game One/pc37x and the new pc38x but none of the "big" reviewers made one. I guess im going to buy the Game One, because its seems a bit risky with the shipping to Germany, paying 185$ in total (40$ shipping lol) and having the chance of getting a broken or disfunctional headset with the struggle of sending it back. Greetings from Germany :)

Been looking for this exact comparison - thanks dude 👍

You know what, I think your honest review has turned me to buying the game one. I’ll get my wallet *main reason is I can’t get the 38x in the UK (need as soon possible for zoom meetings. Your review has reassured me that I haven’t missed out on too much when purchasing an older headset.

Wow, your daughter has grown a lot ever since the cooking videos.

I have had my game ones for 9 years now. Mic finally broke/cracked. Came to this video to see the difference. Thank you!

They both have same exact speakers...I wish I didn't spend so much on the 38 since I already had the game one. I literally can't tell one even slight difference in the sound quality..if someone walked up behind me and put them on my head I wouldn't be able to tell you which one was which as far as sound if my life depended on it!! Both great but I advise if you already have the game one don't wast your money on the 38..you basically already have it!! Unless you just like the side wire mesh look!

i love the format of the video... and how he tells you everything you need to know from the start. he doesn't waste time

As someone who's Game One's are finally dying after 10 years of service, I appreciate the candid, honest, comparison. PC38X purchased. Thanks for the video!

Have the game ones for almost. 6 years. They are still great 👍🏼

Sounds good! I am waiting for my shipment of these taking abit of time since I live in Sweden, but hearing this makes me even more excited. Been using the Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME since... 2011 I think? And yeah they have lasted that long so when it comes to build quality, believe it when someone sais they're good :P I only upgraded because all those years of wear and tear they finally start to become feeling abit loose here and there and the chushion is starting to show it's been through alot. Gonna be nice with some fresh ones with even better sound :D

thank you for this info , aznd i love the way you interact with the little one durinbg the videos LOL!!

i was looking for a game one vs pc37x video and didnt realize it was about the 38x until minutes in but i thoroughly enjoyed this review until the end good stuff man

My G4me One is already 9 years old, i bought them during the year of production. its built like a fucking tank. Still using it til this day. I was afraid it would break so i bought a HD6XX and PC37X thinking they are to replace it. Never did i know, this thing refuses to die.

Finally an honest straight to the point review without all the noise. Im thinking of upgrading from 37x to 38x.

I like you bringing your baby to the video it's so cute and wholesome that we know you're a dad and babysitting and love to game

Thanks for this awesome review. I bought them as my first gaming sennheiser headphones but have to wait a whole month for them... my friend has the game one and recommended those but as these are new i went for them.. cant wait!

Came for a headset review, stayed for the cute kid! S+

Thanks for the review man. I already use the Game One's on my PS5 and they're great but I wanted a separate pair of headphones to hook up with my PC! I have ordered the Drop + Sennheiser PC38X and hope they are just as good but preferably even better! Fingers crossed!

I needed this video man. Thank you :)

I'm "upgrading" from my Game One's after 6 years. They didn't break, but the cable was shot and i figured I could use a new set of cans. On to the GSP 500s. Great vid, had no idea the PC38x had GSP 500 drivers! Great video

this was exactly the video that I was looking for. Nice catch, I believe that there is a ton of folks asking themselves “which us the second best gaming headset from sennheiser?”. Thanks and congrats.

i've had a pair of game one's since 2015 or something like that. the microphone fell off, but i just glued it back and i'm still using the headset. 10/10 from me too

Finally a good comparison review - thank you.

Exactly what I was looking for. Girlfriend has the Game One and we both love them, I have the GSP600 and we both hate them. Wasn't sure whether to stick with the Game One or risk on the 38X. Now I have my answer :) Thanks heaps and what a little cutie

I just ordered these. I’m currently using the Astro a50. I love them but I’m curious to try open back. I play call of Duty and I’m hoping to hear footsteps as clear as the Astro. Thanks for the review

I've used Sennheiser for 20 years at this point. Over 10 of those have been this style. Sennheiser has released this shape with various different specs but they feel the same. I think it started with the PC360. This is one of those "over ear" headsets you can use all day and never feel it. I've only had to replace them over the years a few times because I tend to drop them a bunch or the cushons have been worn out. I have the Game One now, but ive also had the earlier version, and one that wasn't gaming branded

You were good with reviews man this was good and different. I see you haven’t recored anything in a year

one of the best reviews i saw for those headphones. keeping it real and not saying that its alot better then an already amazing headset. and btw did u get any creaking sounds from the headset? or some springy sound when tapping on the ear cap. i saw few people had that

Anyone else think our guy looks like Benjamin Burnley from hard rock/metal Breaking Benjamin? Anyway, good review. Didn’t know the PC 37x was just a rebrand on the Game One.

Loved it!, thanks for share your honest and straight opinion. BTW Your little angel is so cute.

Excellent review

My current headset is gameone, it's a great headset, but I wouldn't recommend it for MP games, for some odd reason, it's hard to distinguish sound location with this headset, for example, if you are inside a game, the sound that comes from the top and the bottom sounds the same, I used to own cheap $15 with no bass and I was able to accurate pinpoint the sound location. But anyway, It's still my daily use even though I bought dt770 250 ohm last year as I don't play competitive MP games. The dt770 250 for anyone who is curious is just too bright. it will pearce your ears. I would have to lower the top frequency to make it usable using the windows sound equalizer.

I don't need the mic that the 38x has, as I have an external one but based solely off sound in comparison to the game ones do you recommend I go with the 38x still or go for a more audiophile like headphone? Also, does the wire on the 38x fit the game ones? My game ones wire broke after 5 ish years which is the only reason I want to replace them, and if I was to order the 38x I would like to compare them. I could get a replacement wire that is around $40 for my game ones, but being that it's so expensive for just the wire, I have been just thinking about upgrading. That being said excluding the mic, and just based of sound quality, is the 38x worth buying over a new wire. Thank you

subbed.hands down best review

I have the Game One already and really love them. Was thinking of upgrading to something newer and better like the PC38X. But you said the difference is marginal so I think I might just stay with what I have.

I have been using gsp 500 and I can confirm the comfort is not the best, but man oh man do the gsp 500 sound so great (u need a DAC tho since its not loud enough from motherboard output) and If he is telling pc38x has the same driver, you better believe its almost the best gaming specific headset you can buy in the market period I have used various and I mean Various headsets for gaming on a competitive level (some eg are Cloud stinger, Cloud alpha, alpha s closest to the best, revolver, hs50, logitech something they are good, gsp 500, senheiser hd400s, blacksharkv2 pro, coolermaster mh650) and the top tier list for me would be in terms of sound quality alone and lows mids highs differentiation PC38X = GSP 500 with a dac > Blackshark v2 pro wireless > hyperx cloud alpha S while using the included soundcard I wrote this just to give an idea to people who are looking to play competitively valorant or csgo If you want the best open back get PC38X since better comfort If you want the best closed back get blackshark v2 pro (if wireless) or Hyerx Alpha S (if wired) Hope this helped, and thanks Mercury_TV for the great review Would also like to mention, EPOS have their newer H6 Pro lineup ehich is way more customizable with the removable mic and great seal and punchy bass with open + close back combo, haven't used but they are probably better than this pc38x (probably need a dac) And if you have s higher budget, would highly recommend baradynamic mmx 150 (i am going to buy it soon but reviews wise they are literally the best inmersive experience so far)

Watching this now and I have the same exact chair from staples. Most comfortable one I could find.

Love the bring your kid to work reviews

I couldn't agree more. I've tried both the game one and pc38x. Great review. Add one more sub and thumbs up.

I've had the GAME ONE for years and my toddler managed to break the mic's boom arm. Hopefully I can fix it with a little Krazy Glue, but if I bought another headset, I'd probably go with the PC38X. I also have the Sony PULSE 3D Wireless for PS5 but I've been completely spoiled by the open back headsets; there is just no comparison between the 2. I'm an open back headset fan for life!

Loved the review, thanks! Wanted to ask a question about the Game One in case you or someone else on here might have run into a similar issue, because I can only find two other posts about this on Reddit. The issue I'm having is that the mic is picking up the audio from the headphones, unless I turn the audio way down. There's also this echo in the background that I think might be just the earpads brushing against my ears? I'm not really tech-savvy or an audiophile but it's been a bothersome problem and none of the reviews I watched seem to mention it, so I'm not sure whether I'm one of the very few people having this issue or if it's just something I need to adjust the volume to avoid. Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Nice comparation! Have Game One plug in GSX 1200 Pro works flawless

thanks for the video exactly what I was looking for. Also ur kid is cute lmao

Answer: 58X and a Desktop mic. Jk use any one of these (PC37X, PC38X, Game ONE, or HD 58X) and you will be happy.

Clear review and just as i want to hear

Hey man, thanks for the review :) I have one Question: My gf has the game one and i noticed the earcups are a little bit smaller than on my pc360 (old model). Are the earcups from the Game one exactly the same size as the pc38x? I quite like the larger ones on my pc360

Lol having an okay dad party there! Thanks for the content, good info here.

I just upgraded from the A40s w/ Mixamp Pro (newer version) to the PC 38x headset myself. I am curious if you still connect your PC 38x headset through your Astro mixamp? This is my first non Astro gaming headset ill be using on PC & like yourself I really rely on the Mixamp right dial & Microphone settings in the software to adjust in party chat/game audio balance on the fly. I guess my questions are : - Do you plug the PC 38X into your Astro Mixamp for mic/chat CONTROLS currently? - If so, does the mixamp presets degrade or alter the natural intended audio coming from PC 38X drivers? - If the first two questions no longer apply, what did you end up switching to & how are you liking the change? My bad if I'm tossing to many questions at you in one go. After watching your earlier Mixamp Pro TR review & headset comparison video that basically matched my thoughts & how I use it dead on. Immediately afterwards in the recommended videos & I see a thumbnail of my new headset that just ordered & am switching to. I click on it & immediately thought, awesome it's the same dude I just watched do a review on the same hardware I've been rocking up till now. Now he's reviewing his new headset same as mine that were delivered earlier today , I like his style. Considering you've clearly got more knowledge & experience having gone through the exact same scenarios I am currently wrestling with. Why not ask him & see if he's got any wisdom he'd be willing to share regarding the questions listed above whenever you have the time. Any other potential tips or advise would be welcome & greatly appreciated as well, thanks again. -Side Note- Awesome Content, seriously adorable kid as well. Liked/Subbed/Notification Bell ticked... Cheers.

I have the game one and think their great. But only issue I have is the cable. It only lasts a few months then you get the crackling. Been through 3 braided cables already.

Buying the PC38x for my new Xbox

Great comparison, cute kid. Subbed!

Are you able to use the new ear cushions of the PC38X with the Game One? I'd love to hear if it makes a difference in sound quality

3:00 how on earth you got them looking new after 3 years? Maybe you don't use them for like 10 hours a day like I do, my friends headset too look like sht, black velvet don't mix well with dust, hair and skin particles. Btw did you try the Pc37x ones? Probably even closer to the the Game One and lower price

Have the game ones, instead of upgrading to pc38x i got the helm bolt dac to make the audio sound way better do u think i made the right decision?

This video is great man Do u think i Shud get the pc38x or the gsp600

From Germany, here i would need to pay 165$ for the headset, 15$ Shipping and probably an Import tax of 19% so thats another ~30€. Right now the Game One is on Amazon for 89€.

Is the Game One a good upgrade from the GSP300? Or should I just get new earpads for my GSP300s or maybe a pair of Mh751s?

How about a cable noise? I still have PC360 (probably first version) and those have fixed long cable with thick rubber (great for keeping it straight), which has zero cable noise, but I read that those new braided cables tend to have more of it.

Hey, I have the Sennheiser Game ONE headset, have had it for 5 years. My main issue with it has been that if I turn the volume dial down all the way, it does not actually go to "zero" volume. Does the PC38X also do this with the volume wheel, or does it actually go to a "muted" 0 volume state? My microphone also recently snapped off of my game one and had to glue it back on, so it's getting me by for now but might buy a new set as it might not last/looks bad glued on.

Nice review man! I am between these ans the astro a40s w mixamp. Which do you recommend? I saw u said a40s comfort is bad but I tried them on at a friend’s n they were okay for me. Strictly sound quality wise for shooters like warzone, which is better?

hello! been a while since you made this video...But , would you say the pc38x is better than the hyperX cloud 2 to hear footsteps during fps games like Rainbowsix ??? also, is the pc38x in terms of sound quality better than the GSP600? like for hearing footsteps..

Well done Sir.

omg i love this so much.

Cutiieee, that leg waaave. Just bought this. Waiting it to come. Hopefully its alright. Thinking about getting an amp.. what u think?

i am a bass head but def need Open Back, need to hear surrounding need to hear anyone calling or notifications need to hear myself talk need wide open soundstage sound that sounds like coming from surround speakers. Considered PC 38x but 1.4 LB clamp force, thats exactly what got me to stop using my Phillips Fidelios X2HR. I hear Game One creaks and feels cheap on plastic. Currently on my sight to test Hifiman 400SE Planar Magnetics, Sennheiser EPOS GSP 500 and Phillips SHP9500. Black sheep to be ashamed and disgraced: Audeze Mobius Planar Magnetics

Just the review I was looking for. Thanks! Oh... and she's cute as hell dude

I would love to see you review the beyerdynamic mmx 300, because the mic quality on these are insane. Me personally I’m stuck between beyerdynamic mmx 300, beyerdynamic 990 dt pro 250 ohm and then use a mod mic, and the sennheiser pc38x, would love to get ur opinion.

Still trying to decide as I'm in Canada and the duty with ordering stuff from Massdrop is insane. Not sure on the Game ONE ($178 CDN locally) vs PC37x ($105 USD + Duty) or PC38x ($184 USD + Duty) as it kills me to get old tech but the prices do make me think twice - Your thoughts would be appreciated?

I have heared some bad things about the directional Accuracy in pc38x.Can you tell me is it better than game one in fps games.And one more thing is there any need of Amplifier to use them with my mobile device.Because i wanna buy one of these for Pubg Mobile.

Great review and adorable company haha

nice review thx

Thank you

SHE'S SO CUTE!!!! Also great review.

My new go to guy

I just canceled my game one order that I made 5 minutes ago and ordered the pc38x. Although it will take significantly longer before it arrives since I live in the Netherlands, I can use my gsp 600 a bit longer.

Thanks bro. Love the idea of a wiredheadset. Wireless is meh

omg head and shoulders really got me hahahahahahahahaha

I’m looking at these and dig the 38x but drop has a sale for the pc37x for 90 bucks. That’s an 80 dollar difference so I might just lean towards the 37x and save the rest for a game or two

In another video you said the Astro A40 were better than the Game One. What about A40 vs PC38X?

i've been looking for a headset and u have used the A40+amp the game zero and the pc38X so out of these 3 wich would u say is the best ??

Pc38x vs HD58x what is better for gaming

Nice video helpfull

Is the Astro A40 V2 better in audio then PC38X?

well done!

What are your settings for your mix amp? I just received my 38X a few days ago and have the Astro Mix Amp Pro

Cutest review ever.

thank you + subscribed for the baby :)

I got unlucky and ended up with a defective headset, shipped them back today so hopefully the replacement works.

I bought the PC38x. What are your thoughts on having a daughter?

Do you use Xbox or PC with your mixamp ?

Should I switch from GSP 350 to PC38X?

noice pun

Dawwwww
