We are very excited about the interest that's already been shown so far and there have been a lot of great questions. We've put together an FAQ that we'll keep updated on the main description page as well as this comment. ________________________
Is the cable removable?
Yes, the cable is removable and replaceable.
Does the PC37X work for console gaming (PS4, Xbox One, etc.) or mobile?
Yes, however, you will need an adapter or a separate cable. The included cable ends in two jacks (headphone & microphone) whereas most consoles/phones have one port that takes a TRRS (4 pole) AHJ/CTIA standard 3.5mm jack.
If you want an adapter, something similar to this one (*1) should work.
If you want something more sleek, you can get a cable that plugs straight into the headset and ends with a TRRS jack. Something similar to this one (*2) would work.
Is there a limited amount of units available?
Yes. We are finalizing the quantities with Sennheiser and will share more details once we confirm the limits. We are working to get as many units as possible given the strong response from the community. With that said, there are already more requests than the amount that will likely be available for the first drop.
Update: We are limited to 1,200 units for the first drop.
Will this drop be available internationally? What will be the shipping price internationally?
Yes, the drop will be available to all international countries that Massdrop ships to. International shipping will be around $15.
What are the drivers in the PC37X?
The Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X uses the same drivers as the Sennheiser PC 373D.
How is the mic quality? The PC37X has one of the best mics among headsets that we’ve tested. Most complaints for gaming headset mics are a result of either hardware issues (manufacturers using cheaper parts or making suboptimal design decisions) or software issues (manufacturers adding an on-board soundcard or proprietary software that performs poorly). On the hardware side, the PC37X contains a mic that is designed specifically by Sennheiser (which has extensive experience as a microphone developer and manufacturer) for high-volume, low-distance recording. On the software side, the PC37X has no signal processing and outputs straight into the mic jack on your motherboard or soundcard, therefore avoiding any potential issues.
We will continue to add to the FAQ as more questions arise.

KreylixFound it elsewhere: 12.5 oz. That is not lightweight.

richardgaoAre they 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound like their PC 373D brethren?

Aug 23, 2017

GilkoHello Gilko, The Sennheiser PC37X does not have a built-in DSP for converting Dolby 7.1 to a binaural mix. Some games have a built-in option for headphone binaural sound, but for all other PC games, movies, and even if you'd like the sense of music coming from in front of you, we would recommend getting the PC373D with the USB dongle that can process a Dolby 7.1 signal, or an external DSP with your PC37X such as our GSX 1000.

richardgaowhy does it needs drivers ??? is it compatible with Linux ?

Mar 23, 2018

RaonixThe PC37X doesn’t require software drivers, it connects to the analog 3.5mm (1/8”) mini headphone jack present on most computers, music players, and smartphones.
The small speakers inside headphones are referred to as drivers.

ejlucianoYour best bet for an authorized dealer in the Philippines will be Audio Video Solutions http://www.avscorp.com.ph You would want to contact them directly and have them special order the UNP Console cable. Otherwise, you will have to use a shipping forwarding service.

Vote

Mar 23, 2018

ejlucianoThe other option would be to use any adapter cable that splits the TRRS 3.5mm port into two TRS jacks with audio out and mic in. For example, on amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PCV-05-Combo-Adapter/dp/B00IM36VU0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521833283&sr=1-3&keywords=sennheiser+2x3.5mm+headset+combo+audio+adapter

richardgaoYou want a question i bet a lot of you thought about? Do the Mass drop PC37X work with Dolby Atmos? *waits for a response*

Jul 24, 2019

IgnitionIf you have a separate processor that decodes Dolby Atmos and converts it to Binaural Stereo (these devices do exist), then the answer is yes. The headset itself doesn’t include any digital processing, but you can connect it to a DSP such as our Sennheiser GSX 1000 (which the PC recognizes as a 7.1 surround device, and then you wouldn’t even need Dolby to get surround to your headphones).

richardgaoI have not even had this thing for a month and all of a sudden the audio is already constantly cutting out for extended periods of time and nothing I have done has fixed it at all. This is my 3rd headset in the span of, like, 6 months, and the second one that literally did not even last a month. How do I fix this? If not can I get a refund on this waste of money?

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
