The cable currently pictured looks amazing. Can anyone confirm that is indeed the cable that comes with these? As opposed to the black almost nylon cable of the other Fostex cans?

clarkysanI purchased EMU-Teak end of 2016 from Massdrop and mine came with the black nylon like cable that is almost identical to the TH-X00 cable. It is 3 meters long though! It is possible Chan changed the cable to these after that particular drop.

MartinF-AUSThat quality on the rosewood is nice. I got teaks in the first drop and despite the pattern being gorgeous both cups were scuffed up and then lacquered on top of it. It makes me want to order new cups for my own, already got to fix mine anyhow

I'm on mobile and just lost the whole breakdown on these vs some other cans I own... I tried to attach a photo and chrome crashed T-T. Im forced to just give you a quick impression...
These are buttery smooth headphones, not analytical, not going to be as wide as an open pair, but not fatiguing like some other closed v shaped headphones.
I appreciate the intamacy of the sound stage compared to my akg k7xxs, when I try my vmoda m100s it's like my brain is being assaulted. It's not that these sit in the middle it's just the clarity of the bass and sparkle is so good the intimacy doesn't end up fatiguing you, it's very pleasant.
A lot of discussion goes on about the bass, these are bassy, I would say it's more of a thump than a punch, it's a laid back but very clear bass and it reaches very deep without distorting. The high end may not be as sharp as other headphones, but it's very sparkly and clean, giving me a lot of wow moments. With my k7xxs I found myself listening to jazz and female vocals (ie Lena Horne) but was disappointed when it came to hip hop and edm. The teaks do hip hop and edm well, but man who knew I'd end up listening to Michael Jackson, deep cello music, and disco... And it's all just creamy good sound, genres I've never felt so attracted to just work so well I love it.
At the end of the day, the expectations I had sound wise was never fully quenched with any other headphone, since I got these I don't really feel a need to buy anything else, Im that happy with them.
They are beautiful, which helps.

DanuleI figured I'd do my best at protecting the pleather headband, that's my story and I'm sticking to it lol.

DenonFanboyHere is a link to the item I bought, I don't think I paid $8.00 though so look around on eBay for cheaper. I will warn however, the buttons that you use to close it can likely harm the headphones hence my sewing it permanently (I can remove it without damaging the band of course, it's sewed to itself not the pleather).

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!!

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.
