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!!

K7xx ehhhmmm bigger ear pads I guess .... little bit less weight than metal x2's ..... ?????
wat do
The 7xx is quite a neutral sounding headphone (like most of the AKG line) and has very good linearity across the entire frequency range. Comfort and build quality are excellent. Blows my mind how good they are every time I put them on.
IMO, the MD/AKG K7XX is one of the best "bang for the buck" audio products of all time. I'd put them right up there with classics like the Sony SCD 1, Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IV's, as well as new schoolers such as SVS SB-2000's, Schiit Magni Uber, Oppo BDP 105D, etc.

It's just that people on this thread are more vocal about the issues they have with their cans as this is THE discussion thread for them, and Massdrop is where you get these from anyway.
The AKG K7XX's are fairly well detailed and have a wide soundstage, but in my experience most anime aren't particularly well known for their sound engineering. Some can be. That being said, they are very, very comfortable, which makes for a pleasant experience for anime binges since you'll likely forget these are on your head after a while.
I use these mostly with my PC at home, and that isn't just limited to anime and OST's -- playing games, talking on voice chat, watching videos or livestreams, editing on audacity... These just work, and they do it really well.
Regarding the X2, I've had experience with it before but decided that it wasn't worth the extra $100 I'd have to shell out to have them. However, from what I'm hearing they're being highly marked down in European countries, as I have a friend from Germany who at first wanted to get the K7XX's (due to my recommendation and the look/comfort) but ended up getting the X2 instead as it was easier to purchase and the warranty would not be a hassle to deal with if there were any issues. She got that for the equivalent of around $220, VAT included, if I recall correctly.
If you can get the X2's for about that price, the choice between the two is largely up to preference. As many others before me have said, the K7XX is a very neutral sounding headphone, while the X2 has a more 'fun' sound with its slightly heavier bass and recessed mids. That being said, much as I loved the X2, I guess my opinions lie the same with VonBrew -- it is a sound signature that can easily be found for less, or you can even EQ the K7XX with EqualizerAPO or the like to sound very very similar to the X2's, or whatever sound you prefer.
To conclude with a final somewhat non sequitur... If you are an anime fan, the AKG K7 series is most likely known for being "Mio's Headphones", Mio being the Mio Akiyama from the rather famous moe comedy slice-of-life series K-on! Since that "product placement", the AKG K7 series and its derivatives (such as the Q701) have largely been popular on pixiv and other illustration sites due to their distinctive look and association with said anime grill -- and you can see the pair on other headphone girls too.
Regardless of what you choose, you will probably be happy with either of them as they are great headphones. The K7XX may include a slightly longer wait (as these are in stock at Massdrop's warehouse), and as I'm aware the most recent batches of headphones will probably not suffer from any quality defects, as mine are just perfect -- I'm listening to one of my friends streaming Neptunia V on his PS3 right now with them.
