Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Additionally, this is going to be my true high-end purchase for the first time, so I really need to make sure.
I typically enjoy Audio Technica's house sound, and how different are your house sound compared to theirs? For the U5s I'm expecting the highs to be clear as day, but whether it'll be so bright it's sibilant, I'm not sure. And how does the vocal go with these? I'm more into something that's smooth and refined, but detailed. As for bass presence I don't mind it being a tad low, but I don't want it to be weak as well. Perhaps the U4s would be the better option? But seeing the charts on the official website, it seems to me like the vocals are going to be especially dark. I don't think I'd like that. Can someone confirm for me how's the mids on these 2 like?
I'm sorry if I'm not very clear, but I hope I can find an answer here before i commit. It's a pretty big purchase for me (and I believe a lot of others as well
If you look at the impedance of both pairs, it's low enough to plug them straight into your iPhone or laptop, sending enough juice to drive every driver, but for an investment in the future, try upgrading the cable. I went from a stock cable to an 8-core cable from Labkable and now I can tell every driver is working to its fullest potential.
If you're okay with it, I'd like to ask another question. In your own definition, how would you describe the sound? Is it more V-shaped or more along the lines of being warm but balanced?
Since the bass and mid drivers are combined into one, this formulates a more uniform sound, likened by audiophiles and music lovers/enthusiasts rather than for people using them as monitors. With the high driver having a bore on its own, the highs are present but tuned just enough that it wouldn't cause much sibilance (at least for me).
Of course this information is based off the U4-SE ADEL, and I have no idea whether 64audio tweaked the architecture for the apex version. Hope this gives you a better idea of how they sound like.
tl;dr = they sound musical and more uniform (which is how music should be listened to anyway... based on my belief ;p ) rather than having a monitor-like separation.
I was previously using UE's Triple Fi 10 pro (triple BA, 2 way drivers) and upgraded to the U4-SE, and I can say it was one of the greatest investments I made in a while.
For the U4-SE though, imagine a symphony orchestra. The Bass Drum is definitely present and is visceral. But it isn't pretentious screaming "I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER." It is just enough to well complement and pair with the mids and the highs. These aren't bass heavy. They do have significant amount of bass as it's based off of the bass-heavy U4, but the mid and high drivers are tuned to make it a more balanced (not flat) sound signature.
I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense to you, but the conventional description of "It's warm" "It's flat" "It's V-shaped" etc. etc. just won't do it justice for these fantastic earphones (I wouldn't call them IEMs since I believe these are really not meant for monitoring). Absolutely a unique sound.
Thanks for the help, mate!
