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.

I've only recently gotten into headphones, so I don't have a huge range of experience, but I'm hearing a lot to like. They seem to have a nice amount of detail, and a nice clear sound. I can hear a difference vs dynamic headphones I've listened to, but hard to explain exactly what the difference is.
As compared to my AKG KXXs these don't have as much bass, and seem to roll off a good bit earlier in the sub bass region.
Compared to Audeze EL-8s I listened to at the Apple Store these seem to lack a bit of 'sparkle' in the treble, and again have less bass and less punch, but the EL-8s are a much more expensive headphone.
Overall they are still very nice though, and feel well built. They're comfortable, though I wish they came with a longer cord. Do planars break in over time?
he4xx hard thick cardboard box with plastic holder and one foam piece. (box is small)
6xx paper thin cover box then hard case filled with foam .
m1060 comes in a hard take case with zipper with a net pouch inside for cable.
A song I use to test is Katy Perry’s Swish Swish. There’s an isolated deep electronic bass line. With the K7XX I can hear every note and it doesn’t diminish in volume as it digs deep. With the HE4XX it seems to drop in volume considerably as it goes down.
Now, it may also be a difference in amp. I’ve been using the K7XX on the headphone jack on my Emotiva PT-100, but the cord on the 4XX is too short to reach from the chair, so I tried that out tonight on the jack on my Elac Element, I’m not sure if that would make a difference, but when my extension cable arrives I’ll try them out on the Emotiva.
I generally choose to EQ planars in the bass for the type of listening I like to do. My EL-8s are the same way. When I pop them into a lightning port with the EQ through the CIPHER DAC the cans feel like they come alive, but when I just go straight 3.5mm into a FIIO X7 I kind of feel meh.
