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.

Here's the Dekoni sheepskin:
These Dekonis were absurdly difficult to install, and I'm a compulsive pad-roller so it's not like this is my first rodeo. Seriously frustrating, I had to stretch them farther than I was really comfortable with. They're not radially symmetric, because the AD-series frames are not. I had to use a paint marker to draw a line on the thinnest point of the back for reference. This is why they look all wrinkly and ugly in the pic, it's very difficult to get them lined up perfectly. Somehow the OEM pads do not suffer from this problem; neither do the Brainwavs, which have a much more generous amount of material in the "lip". Dekoni could have done better here. The sheepskin quality is virtually identical in both the Dekoni and Brainwavs. Both are nicely put-together.
Sound quality is where the Dekonis excel. I bought these pads because I love the AD2000's highs and detailed, articulated bass, I just wanted a greater QUANTITY of bass without affecting anything else. That's exactly what the pads do. A+ in keeping the original sound and comfort, and making it hit just enough harder, providing exactly what I wanted from this purchase. The Brainwavs -- which, to be fair, weren't specially designed for AD-series frames, they're just the only ones with a large enough diameter to fit -- are so thick in the padding, there's a ton of added space between the drivers and your ears, so the sound is (IMO) significantly compromised. It loses the high frequency precision I appreciate the headphones for, so the gains in low-end quantity are rendered irrelevant.
The Dekonis also cost $20 more, which might matter to some people. To me, it's well worth it paying the premium. (The Dekonis were $60 here, the Brainwavz were $40 on Amazon.)
