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.

I use these for music listening and gaming (hence the ModMic 4.0 applied to the left ear-cup) plugged into a SMSL M6. I haven't tested how they sound with my Fiio X5 1st Gen yet, but I'm sure it'll be glorious. They are simply the comfiest ear-pads I have ever felt. They feel like literal clouds on your head. They provide the perfect amount of space for your ears to fully fit inside them and also rest your ears a bit further away from the headphone drivers, eliminating any chance of your ears to be rubbing on the drivers. I forget that I'm wearing these tbh. And being memory foam, they provide the perfect fit on your head.
These ear-pads opened up the sound-stage almost to the point where they sound like open-ear headphones (there's definitely less isolation from outside noises with them on too). It's actually quite insane how much they changed the sound signature, and I mean this in a good way. Everything sounds a lot more spread apart without losing any detail. In-fact I notice MORE detail in music and games with these on. I feel like if these ear-pads were shipped with the original product people would pitch these headphones against others that are farrrrr above the DT1770's price point.
My only complaint is that they don't have an attenuation ring behind the ear-pads like the stock pads have, allowing the trebles to sound a lot louder with the Elite Velours on. The bass was also recessed a bit with the Elite Velours but are a lot smoother and full-bodied without losing precision and speed. Because of my taste, I installed Equalizer APO (provides a 31-band equalizer) on my PC and set a pre-amp of -4.5db to provide headroom while boosting the sub-bass frequencies a bit and decreased the very high trebles a bit as well.
Pros: - Provides an open-back headphone(like) presentation. - Widened sound-stage substantially. - Revealed how much detail these drivers actually provide. - Improved sub-bass detail. - Unbelievably comfy (FREAKING PILLOWS, I'M TELLIN' YA!!!!)
Cons: - Decreased isolation (this is a con to most because these are intended to be closed-back headphones, but I don't mind it). - Increased sound leakage (I never take these out of my office in my dwelling, so this isn't an issue for me). - Very tough to get on (remember, be patient and take your time). - A decent EQ might be needed, based on your tastes in sound.
