FAQ [continued]
Q: Are these 7.1 surround?
A: No, these headphones do not have 7.1 surround sound. However,
you can use Dolby Atmos via consoles or PCs, which will sound
better than the 7.1 built into some headsets.
Q: What is Drop+?
A: Drop is the company that Sennheiser partnered with to make these
headphones.
Q: Why does the yellow version say Sennheiser but the black say
Epos? Is there a difference?
A: Sennheiser is actually the parent company, and they created a
new gaming sub-brand called "Epos" after this product was already
created. So the original colorway (yellow) will say Sennheiser and
the new colorway (black) will have the updated branding.
Q: How does it compare to the PC37X?
A: These headphones are an upgraded version of the PC37X, featuring
new drivers for higher fidelity and better frequency response, an
updated headband for increased comfort, and two cables for
increased compatibility. They also offer better stereo imaging and
locational accuracy thanks to their angled drivers and open-back
design.
Q: Would the mic work if this was plugged into a phone using the
"Console" 3.5mm jack? Or does the mic need to be directly connected
to a mic port?
A: The microphone will work when plugged into a phone using the
"Console" 3.5mm jack without an adapter. There are four conductors
on the jack - one for ground, one each for L, R, and Mic.
Q: Is this headset Skype compatible? And is it a good headset to
use for working from home?
A: Yes, this headset is Skype compatible. As for using it for work
from home purposes, it depends on your preferences. If you prefer
noise cancellation, then this might not be the best option.
However, if you work in an isolated environment and don't mind
open-back headphones, then this headset is a good option.
Q: Which one is better, these or the new Epos H6 Pro?
A: You'll have to read specs and watch reviews to make a personal
decision. However, it should be noted that the PC38X were made when
Sennheiser was still involved and the driver is an evolution from
the HD 5XX line of headphones.
Q: How well do these headphones handle large heads? I wear a size 8
ballcap and I always break plastic headphones at the extension
joints.
A: The headphones should fit comfortably on larger heads. One user
who wears a 7.5 hat size reported having room to fit their fingers
between the band and the top of their head with it fully
extended.
Q: How do these compare to the older Sennheiser PC 363D? My cord
started to go bad and I need to replace them now. I was happy with
their performance.
A: These headphones are a newer model than the PC 363D and feature
updated drivers for higher fidelity and better frequency response,
as well as an updated headband for increased comfort. They also
offer better stereo imaging and locational accuracy thanks to their
angled drivers and open-back design.
Q: Are there any issues when using this with Microsoft Teams?
A: No, there should not be any issues when using these headphones
with Microsoft Teams.
