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.

Massdrop has never been an authorized dealer on anything sold here and I would hazard a guess that they're not quite ready to offer life-time support on these either.
Electrostatic drivers are delicate devices. Excess physical shock and issues with their E/90 energizer seem to be primary culprits. Often people get the headphone replaced when their E/90 is malfunctioning and continue to blame the headphone. It is not a standard headphone and should not be treated as such. A lot of people will buy these hoping to get stax quality at a discount, and it's just not the case.
Being $1000 headphones you would expect bullet proof build, but remember these are a delicate estat headphone and energizer combo. Both devices need to work for this to operate and pinning down a problem which could have happened in transit or off the assembly line is really hard to nail down.
Anyway... I'm sure you can find lots of positive, negative, and just plain ignorant things around the web about these cans. They were developed in the 90s and electrostatic drivers are not exactly common-place. I hope massdrop can give you an answer about their dealer status to put your worries at rest. If I didn't have a pair I would have be on this drop.
These are 100% covered under Koss' lifetime warranty program. There's a lot of confusion around warranties and Massdrop, here's why: Massdrop isn't a traditional sales channel, we're new, and companies don't know how to categorize us. Every time we're working direct, we negotiate so all products sold are covered by the manufacturers' warranty program. When we're not working direct, we provide an equivalent warranty via Massdrop.
We're trying to make this more straight forward but here's the real trick. When we're negotiating and setting up buys with the national sales/marketing manager for XYZ headphone company, they aren't in contact with customer service reps. So when someone calls into XYZ headphone company and asks if Massdrop is a authorized retailer, the rep looks at their list, says no, and moves on. In reality, we're authorized but we're not on the list because we move too fast for companies built on traditional retail.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback. We're always trying to improve and your opinion is an important indication of community perception.
