Sennheiser PC38x vs HD560s

Hello, I'm comparing the PC38x to the HD560 and don't know what's better. I've narrowed it to these two but they cost about the same and I don't know what the audio difference will be like. I only want to use them for gaming, mostly r6 but some single player games as well. What do you guys think?

Scuf Omega vs Hexgaming Phantom

I'm getting a new ps5 controller since my current one has terrible stick drift. My deadzones are set to 20 and I still get random jerking to the left. Im looking to get a pro controller so that I can crouch and lean while aiming, but all the controllers get such mixed reviews. Do you guys have any recs for pro controllers? Im mainly looking for hall effect/ tmr sticks, and at least 2 preferably 4 back buttons. I've looked at the hexgaming phantom most, as well as the dualsense edge and scuf omega. Scuf just gets a bad rap for quality, plus it can't wake the ps5 up and has no haptics/adaptive triggers for non-fps games. Hexgaming has everything but my god that price+occasional faulty products from what I hear. Edge has no hall effect and no mouseclick triggers, but haptics and best connectivity. Basically every controller has its ups and downs. What do you guys use? I play mainly siege, but also want it to be good for single player. I am in USA, with a budget of 250 USD.

TLDR; I have a 250usd budget, located in USA, cant decide between scuf and hexgaming. Need Hall effect or TMR sticks, want haptics, want adjustable triggers. Looking for advice between these two controllers or any new recomendations.

Quick Question about hexgaming phantom

Can a hexgaming phantom actually wake up a PS5, and does how does it connect? They advertise wireless but is there still some Bluetooth module I would need to plug in or something?

Siege Licensing Question

So I bought r6 years ago on ps4, then later switched to a ps5. For some reason when I downloaded it on it only shows as a trial version? It gives me access to ranked but its mildly annoying and I can't get the plat trophy which I should have. Anyone else get this bug? or is it intentional so we have to buy it again?

Gaming Headphones

I'm getting some new headphones soon for my ps5 and was curious what the audiophiles on here think. I'm looking at the;

SHP 9500's=80$

HD560's=160$

MMX150 wireless = $200 (best aesthetics in my opinion)

I primarily want to use them for gaming, and my main game is r6 siege, where audio is super important. The value/ price to performance is important for me. I don't know enough about headphones/sets to discern what is more worth it. I also know I'll need a separate mic for the HD's and the SHP, so any recommendation is appreciated. What do you guys think will be best for me? I am willing to spend up to 230 or so and am located in USA.

Omega Quality Control

I'm curious if you guys think the new Omega being officially licensed will help with quality. I'm in the market for a pro Controller. Scuf Omega looks cool and has neat features, but the reputation for bad quality and bad customer service scares me. Do you guys think that sony having their name on the box will mean they force a better standard of production out of scuf? Or same issues new branding?
