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.

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!!

Everything about them seems tempting based on reviews but 7 Benjamins is hard to swallow for just sound for me personally. I got a Creative X7 Limited driving a AKG 7XX. On my computer, I mainly (in descending order) game, listen to symphonic metal + amazon/netflix movies when I'm too lazy to go to the home theater. Maybe this is something more suitable for a headfi post but can someone help me understand what sort of net benefits I would see?
For gaming, the sound stage on the 7XX is still the best of everything I've mentioned and from what I've read also better than Focal headphones.
Personally, I bought the Elex for music, I am also a gamer but didn't care that much about a huge sound stage. The Elex are supposedly an upgrade to the HD-6XX (similar sound signature) which are REALLY good, especially with a good amp. Since Focals are also known to scale up with good equipment, there is a lot of fun to be had in finding how different amp and headphone pairings can really make your music COME ALIVE! That will mean different things to different people but having good headphones opens up more possibilities. I've had music bring tears to my eyes that never used to do that for me. I've started listening to a much wider variety of music, classical and jazz are so much better now, I used to be bored with them. I still listen to rock, metal, and share your enjoyment of symphonic metal.
Focals are also supposed to be really good with detail which I find fun and interesting while also being fun.
Those are the reasons why I joined this drop.
How would you describe the difference between HD-6xx and LCD2c?
PS May not be relevant but I mostly listen to electronic music
You will love the LCD2C with electronic music. Somehow, sound from youtube sound better using this too. The only reason I aware that I am listening though a headphone is because it weight too much.
But I am using 6XX at work because it is more comfortable.
I haven't heard the HD-600, but what I've read matches your comments, less bass than the HD-650. That's interesting, if the Elex is more similar to the HD-600 it may not be as much to my taste as the Elear. On the other hand, I also like variety so I'm not going to stress it. I can try an Elear at a local store and if I like them better, I'll sell the Elex on eBay.
For some pop and jazz music the LCD2c is cleaner and crisper. Other times I find them a tad boring and switch back to the HD-6XX's but I don't remember which specific music. Both are pretty laid back headphones which is my preference. If I had to pick one pair, it would be difficult but probably the HD-6XX's. They're good with everything and are a really great value for the money, even if you pay the retail price of the 650's. They are also great with just about any amp (of course they get much better if the amp is better).
I haven't done electronic music in a while, I used to find it fatiguing. That was before I had good quality equipment so I should probably give it another shot. I have tried listening to rap and found the bass with both the HD-6XX and LCD2c to be really good. LCD2c struck me as cleaner with bass but either way I enjoyed listening to rap with both.
Speaking of music I hadn't listened to in a while, a couple days ago I listened to some Beatles albums with my HD-6XX's. HOLY CRAP! I haven't listened to the Beatles in like 5 years or so. There is so much more there in the music that I never heard before. This is one thing to note, "older" music (80's or possibly 70's and older) tends to get much more interesting with a good setup. From what I've read modern mixing is more flat and just makes everything LOUD. The additional details and depth in older music is really cool.
Quite honestly I hate trying to find the right headphone/amp pair (main reason I got the X7 so I can have a handy dandy all in one but ironically its surround sound processor is weaker than the old X-Fi line) so I wouldn't say I like that part. :P
A couple of great amp options are the Cavalli CTH (still going for another 10 hours) and the La Figaro 339 (drops periodically). The Bottlehead Crack is another option that is regularly recommended. I found it too forward and muddy. It should be less muddy with the speedball option but I haven't had a chance to hear that.
So far my favorite dacs are the Schiit multibits. I have only heard the low end (Modi Multibit) and best (Yggdrasil). They are both great, the Yggy is CLEAN among other things. Not quite ready for that purchase yet so I'll have to be happy with my Modi Multibit. ;)
All of this is what appeals to my ears, I highly recommend trying before making a purchase or you may end up needing to return some items or sell on eBay both of which will waste some of your money. I've wasted my share of money but I'm slowly getting better about trying equipment. Oh wait, I joined the Elex drop, guess I still don't follow my own advice!
