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 received my Purplehearts a few days ago and I wish I'd spent my money in my local hifi-shop getting a known quantity that I could have listened to myself before the purchase. The are bass-head headphones. That wasn't what I'd expected given the original MD sales pitch. I've seen they have changed the description of the PHs to the "fun one". Truly professional stuff right there. I guess I should've learned to never trust a sales pitch, but there you go.
Oh, and I got bubble wrap marks all over both cups. I think I'm right in saying that at this price point, I'm expecting more than that.
Serial number 89 if that has any significance.
If you are not 100% sure that you want these headphones no matter what, then it's best not to buy them.
One of the caveats with the various Massdrop audiophile gear collaborations is that they're not widely available for testing. Therefore, you either know that you want these headphones even just for the sheer collectability/hobby/enthusiasm of it all, or you are actually looking for a specific user of a headphone, in which case it's indeed best to visit your local Hi-Fi shop and spend your money on what you perceive as value and performance.
As a side note, I know that what I just wrote is a bit contrary to my initial post here, where I urged people to simply buy any of these headphones, but I suppose that not everyone who comes here is a pure enthusiast with money to burn on the audiophile trail.
I very well know that headphones can not be bought on spec sheets and advertising alone, but, just like you, I did a fair amount of research reading whatever reviews of the original TH-X00s I could find and coupled these with the so called improvements that Massdrop were putting forward on the product page. Unfortunately, at the time of the announcement of the Ebony, Massdrop changed this information. The Purpleheart was no longer supposed to only mitigate some frequency dips in the 3-5kHz range, they were all of a sudden going to be about 2dB above the originals in the lower end of the frequency spectrum. In relation to this they were now labeled as the "fun one" in a series of headphones where the most neutral cans have all the "fun" anyone would ever want. I don't think this is a very nice move from Massdrop. Honestly, it makes me very disappointed. This type of information must surely have been available to them from the off, but for whatever reason they chose to reveal it at the launch of the Ebony. Poor sport, Massdrop.
The bottom line is; contrary to your implication, I was well aware of what I could and should expect. However, what I received could just as well have been made by Beats albeit at a much higher price point.
Try a 600 or 900. They gonna be subwoofers for you.
Side not: The PH is not at all a bass-head Headphone... The originals have a good amount of bass, but the PH has it more under control while delivering a good amount for the overall sound signature...
