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.

So I dug up my old $45 gaming headset (Plantronics Gamecom 377). No rattle through out the song. Thought of taking it a step ahead... went through all the headphone frequency/quality tests linked in this thread including the Ultimate Headphone Test at Audiocheck, it never rattled through the tests, 10Hz to 60Hz had distinct rattle for me on the K7XX, none on this el-cheapo Plantronics gaming headset.
Looking at the fact that it took almost a month to get these since shipping to Australia, am now confused as well. Return will take 10+ days lets say, plus added cost, then wait for another month to get them back, which will be another draw of luck if they rattle or not. Build quality was below what was promised to us. :|
EDIT: I just had another idea. The current serial numbers are for example, OOOO185, maybe for those with a lower serial number and a defective product they could just do custom ones that say XXXX185 instead. I'm not sure if any of my ideas are possible or if I'm just being ridiculous, but something does need to be done. I hope AKG has been working on this issue.
MD then has the responsibility to replace the stickers (e.g. #2001) with the stickers that were sent by AKG on the separate label sheets (e.g. #265) ensuring everyone gets a headphone with their original serial number. From a logistics point (and the amount of work it takes) it will not be easy to get it all right, however, using a detail-oriented person for that job will ensure it will be done right!!
I also expect the cost to return the headphones back to MD, to be refunded to me by MD (whether MD tries to claim that cost back from AKG will depend on the contract it has with AKG regarding maximum number of faulty units per shipment).
I think that AKG is a bit unlucky that the rattle issue was found and this info was shared on the MD website... causing more people to test their headphones properly. On the other hand MD still has 4,000 sets on order this year. Either way, AKG will have to fix the issue and replace the faulty units, and convince people that the next 4,000 units are good value for money (i.e. are not faulty)! It's time for AKG to have a look at 'brand damage control' now...
Ex: Box says 1000, Headphones say 656.
Note: on my box the H-SNo (and not SNo) relates to the Headphone Serial #.
edit: looks like the SNo is 1445, no matter what the H-SNo is. I just found on ebay AKG K7xx #168 for sale, which has SNo 1445, same as mine. btw: it mentions that the headphones don't have the rattle!!
FWIW, I've also made a Google Sheets spreadsheet; do fill it in if possible. I hope this doesn't seem like spam to people I just don't want to end up with somebody else's defective unit.
