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!!

My reason for saying the 400i are not the best match is because prior to getting the X1S I picked up a Topping NX4 to drive my 400i and I find the NX4 > 400i pairing to be superior to the X1S > 400i match. Now this is where I may get into trouble. I am not a sound engineer. But this is what I hear or am perceiving. The X1S seems to smooth out/ warm up the music to some extent which is something that the 400i seem to do well on it's own. Leans dark? The NX4 on the other hand might be described as bright and doesn't take the edge off of the hi and mid range like the X1S does.
When I first plugged the 400i into the X1S something didn't sound right. Highs were muted and vocals recessed. Low end was good as always, but something seemed to be missing. When I would plug the 400i into the NX4 the something came back. Highs were fresh and vocals came to the front.
Similarly, the SR80 is more sibilant when driven through the NX4. Not terrible or unbearable, but definitely brighter than when played through the X1S. The bright nature of the SR80 is what drove me to look for a headphone with more low end heft, like the 400i.
All that said, I am very pleased with the X1S it has rekindled my love of the SR80 and I am anxious to try it out with the 6xx which it is supposedly tuned to work well with. If the 400i are you primary set, you might want to consider a different DAC/Amp. Then again, the X1S > 400i may sound great to you.
Good hunting.
I was considering the Sony MDR 1 and may give them a shot a some point in the future. As far as the 400i being boring, I find that an interesting assessment. If you are driving them from a phone they may not be getting the power they need. Mine sound great when amplified properly. That said, I no longer own the 400i as I returned them this afternoon. I owned them for 3 weeks and the headband cracked. This really disappointed me as they were sufficiently burned in and sounding really great to me.
I'm not certain what spending $200 more would get me. Diminishing returns are real.
