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!!

I have both T1 versions, I have these, in the 600 ohm version. On very many occaisions I find myself choosing these to listen to. OVER the supposedly "superior" T1s. I find the detail and clarity, crispness of presentation to be superb, they are very fast/responsive and I can say that I find the SS with certain musics to be "sparkling". In much the same way we describe the Grado 325 metal backs to be sparkling.
The lack of cable detach-ability, for me, is a non-issue. I don't detactch cables all that much, even when I can, because I find that it increases wear and tear on the cable insertion points and chances for dirt and oils and dust to get into sockets and pins, etc.Unless I am packing them up to drag around elsewhere, I don't reall see the need for detachable. That's ME, my opinion, not a criticism, btw.
I especially love these with electronic music,(think "New Age" or "Space"), that is fast, using sequencer structures, and likes a clinical and responsive set of cans. The semi-open back gives these an interesting quality that brings the music right into your head without losing sense of stage, which makes the experience pleasurable to me. I suspect that this is the very thing that sets the SS of these cans apart from the T1s; it's kid of the best of both worlds between open and closed-back cans.
I too prefer two-cabled cans over 1-cable....however, I don't believe this construction degrades the sound in any way; look at all the touted AKG headphones that are single cable which have a huge following....
These are a bit of a "niche" headphone, much like the Senn HD600- they often get passed over in favour of the "big brother" when they have an excellent sound all of their own.
If I get a chance in the next couple of days, I will put up a comparison review of these vs. the T1s. I will probably toss out some info about how I power them, etc. if folks would like that.
I listen to the 880's ESPECIALLY when I am listening to fast acoustic guitar...think Leo Kottke from his earlier period a la " 6 and 12 String Guitar" through "Chewing Pine".
