Reasonable build quality, good mid-bass extension

Gaudy ear-cup finish, slightly awkward design

Sennheiser's HD 438 is a pair of sturdily built PC gaming headphones with good bass extension — useful for action gaming and some types of music. If you can get past the awkward headband and ugly ear-cups, these headphones are a good buy.
