First mod to my new TH-X00 EB.
Sennheiser Headband cushion. They work great on my HE-500 SO figured they couldn't hurt.
Not really needed, but for extended wear they do help.
Next: - Dekoni Sheepskin pads - Removable cable mod - Maybe Lawton tune up

RojasTKDGreat job! I also customized mine almost identically and can safely say: don't bother with Lawton tuneup, it doesn't change anything, if anything it made the mids a little harsher. X00 is great as it is. Now for the headband, did you just tape it there or what? I was planning to do the same thing but wasn't sure how to make it stay there without damaging the original headband.

CamperIVJust used scotch double sided tape. So it's easy on and easy off.

CamperIVi have to disagree about the Lawton Tune-Up not doing anything. I had already switched pads to the Brainwavs angled pleather. Maybe this is the reason I am noticing a difference with the Lawton Tune-Up. I suppose if you keep the stock pads maybe the difference is too minimal to notice. I must say it really cleaned up the bass after the Lawton Tune-Up (which i performed myself). I didn't do the full mod. I opted to not put the acoustic foam circles in the cups.

sirkuttinWhy did you choose to omit the cup mounted foam circles?

Assimilator702I can't actually say. I never even tried it with the foam inside. I just made certain assumptions based on these mods. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/th-900-fostex-ez-simple-mods-and-other-fostex-dynamic-variants-x00-denon-more-bass-mid-soundstage-smooth-trebles.802704/

Assimilator702Anyhow, my ebonies broke at the super tiny plastic joint, I got rid of them and went with the LCD-2C. I definitely miss the ebonies fun sound. But these LCD-2Cs are pretty amazing in their own right. I keep the bass boost ON for these all the time on my iDSD-BL.

RojasTKDI am still waiting for the headband but I am ahead in the detachable mod.

ridhuankimThe mmcx jack is very good. It is not snug, it requires some hard force to connect until it clicks and that gives very satisfying feeling.

ridhuankimNice! Did you do that yourself or did you have someone do it for you?
I still haven't gotten around to it. I've recently invested in some speakers (JBL LRS30X and Swan M200 MKIII) and yesterday an Audio-GD R2R 11.
Eventually I'll get around to having it done maybe.

Feb 8, 2018

RojasTKDI did it myself. At Khan at head-fi shared which mmcx jack he used so I followed his steps.

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.
