The Package
When you're buying a product from Drop, you're obviously not paying for the design of its box. This is why the box of the Drop + Sennheiser PC38X looking as rudimentary as it does comes as no surprise. Thankfully, the headset is wrapped in a protective layer of foam and placed inside a drawstring travel pouch. It traveled half-way across Europe to reach me and arrives with no dents or scratches to mention.
Inside the box, you'll find the headset, safety guide, welcome note pointing out the frequency response differences between the PC38X and its predecessor, two cables, and an extra pair of earpads, which is velour as opposed to the factory-installed mesh-knit ones. The shorter 1.5-meter cable terminates in an angled 3.5-mm 4-pole (TRRS) plug for consoles and mobile devices, while the 2.5-meter cable has a separate microphone input and headphone output. That's the one you'll use when connecting the PC38X to your PC.
