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!!

Every day people are asking what's going on, and I realize it's massdrops interest to keep people guessing so that they visit the site more regularly. But in this case it is a strait up f*** you to this audience.
Massdrop - you guys seriously need to provide some information about what's going on. At minimum - is it going to drop again? Ever? If yes, is it going to happen in 2017? In the next 6 months?
With that said, a lot of these are being sold frequently, or at least the 650's are. Check reddit avexchange.
Just request the drop again and if both MD and Sennheiser decide to drop again, you'll get an email. If not, move on, there're a lot of other headphones that are superior than the HD6XX.
over 50k requested it again and if Sennheiser thinks that it makes sense to drop 6xx again, they will most definitely make it happen. If second drop never happens there are tons of cans out there. No offence.
I'm making a point here, Massdrops refers to us as a community and in every business school they will teach you about the importance of an open communication between the comp and the costumer. Being unhappy with the way things are managed is legitimate, not whining.
Community's communication with Massdrop is reflected in the number of requests (the highest ever for any product on MD). This and popularity of first drop (I think this was also the most popular drop ever judging by the number of units sold within certain time frame) is more than enough for them to understand crowd's interest in 6xx.
Your "communication" here is just a plain whining ("fearing the miss the drop" etc.). MD is not a manufacturer of hd6xx and has very limited influence on Sennheiser
Sennheiser's 2015 revenue was 686.2 mln euro. 5000*200=1mln USD or just 0.9mln in Euro (just a little more than 0.1% of revenue). What is their net on this drop (after manufacturing and MD's cut and cable fiasco) I don't know, but I think it's not much. Plus they lost 5,000 potential 650 or 600 buyers. Honestly, I think it doesn't make sense for them to do these drops anymore, unless they have a stockpile of raw materials or new much better 6-series cans are on they way.
Some might say, but look at AKG - they are able to deliver at$200, even though k712 retails for $300+. AKG is owned by Harman and Sennheiser is a family owned and their approach to business is obviously different. Sennheiser value their brand name (that's the only thing they have) and for Harman AKG is just another business division.
Every company and management care only about one thing - bottom line, no matter what they say in their PR releases.
Anyway, this conversation can go on and on and on. If Sennheiser doesn't need another drop, your whining won't help.
You're missing the point. The community's communication with Massdrop is not exclusively limited to the number of requests. There's the discussion forums, emails, etc... Of course Massdrop knows the 6XX is popular, and probably knew it would be. As ofirtal said, the "problem with the whole thing is that we don't even know if there's a chance for another drop." It's been four months since the first drop. That's just bad communication and it's frustrating.
Secondly, I am fully aware of the limitations in this case and how little control MD has over manufacturing - but it's just not relevant. The fact of the matter is that I'm an active Massdrop costumer, and believe me - firms pay top dollar for every bit of info regarding their costumer desires or dissatisfactions. This attitude, labeling complains as 'whining', is simply childish. We are costumers - complaining is what we do, and businesses need that.
Thirdly, by 'communication' I meant a two way line of communication, genius. Obviously they know there's demand for the product, I mean come on... What I was talking about was an active conversation with your audience, you know, keeping up with your people? Staying in touch and giving updates about decision making processes, upcoming ventures and also producs that are taken off the shelf. It's really marketing 101 man...
Now, you don't have to agree with me, but understand that it's completely normal for costumes to rant and vent. In part, this is what this forum is for.
