Modded headphones with qudelix at the core
When I received the Qudelix 5K, I had already modified a pair of Superlux HD-681 headphones. I previously soldered my own balanced connections to the drivers, providing multiple ways to connect and...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I was completely underwhelmed. Maybe it was the source audio, but on day 1 of CES (i.e. I don't think it was due to the headphones being blown from extended high-volume play) 2 or 3 different tracks played from their devices (straight out of iPad Air 2s) had significant distortion in female vocals and bassier bits, even at moderate (75%) volume. That was across two different pairs of headphones in all modes (Bassy, ANC, and passive).
The construction of the headphones was OK at best. Metal and leather - yes, but it just felt cheap in my hands, and the 'detail' (logo, faux-industrial brackets on the cups) was all plastic as far as I could tell.
Audio quality (when not crackling/distorting) was nothing to write home about, which makes the selling point of these purely aesthetics - and I really cannot stand the aesthetic they went with. To me, these are in the category of low-to-mid end cans that you shouldn't spend more than $50-$75 on based on my experience with them.
A $150 pair of Grados would blow these out of the water. $299 is purely a price set so that people will compare them to Beats, and is NOT an indication of quality. The guy chatting with me focused on "style and appearance" as the selling points, rather than "quality of audio and durability."
TL;DR - I really didn't like them and wouldn't buy a pair at any price.
Again: emphasizing that their target market is NOT people interested in the best possible audio quality, but the people who want to look cool while wearing headphones in public.
I didn't get the chance to play with anything in Wireless mode, and I avoid wireless headphones as much as I can so I would have zero point of comparison on that point.
