Sitting here listening to my original Porta Pro's from Koss, purchased a year or so ago. Warmer treble than I prefer, but easy to brighten up with EQ (I use Onkyo's HF Player app on my iPhone, which lets you set different EQ curves for different headphones; treble is now nice and sparkly!). Bass is more than on my usual desktop go-to headphones, my beloved AKG M50x. I'm enjoying that. These have a very pleasant sound and good imaging; the drumset on "O Tannenbaum," from the Vince Guaraldi Trio's, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" album was so realistic (sans EQ) that I almost forgot I was wearing headphones--so can I complain about reduced treble? Well, yeah--EQ is still good. I also like getting the mic on this drop ("mic drop," heh), though I might not use it very much, and for 30 bucks, this deal is hard to beat. Add me to this drop!

riccardo99Haha, good that you are enjoying it! Planning to get it with this cyber Monday deal. But AKG M50x... It's the first time I'm hearing of such a headphone XD

UzuzuYou are right, of course: the ATH-M50x is a product of Audio Technica, not AKG! Yikes. Mea culpa! (For what it's worth, I love AKG's microphones, especially their condensers...but that would be a different drop!)

riccardo99I love Beyer, AKG, and Sennheiser so much I'd marry all 3. But my favorite is still beyer. Best out of box pads, comfort, and all their headphones fit their respective roles, perfectly.

UzuzuAs a musician, I tend to go for studio headphones because I'm looking for accuracy. Steve Gutenberg liked the Koss Pro 4S over the M50x (tighter bass); I'd like to hear that one too. Heard good things about Beyer; I'll have to try them out (they also make some nice mics). No doubt AKG's are great; their mics are superb. I like the Sennheisers I've listened to. I also have the HiFiMan HE-400S; it's fabulous as well. Certainly lots of good choices these days--how lucky are we?

riccardo99Very. My favorite Beyers are the Amiron, dt1990, and the dt880.

Dec 7, 2018

UzuzuDo you use the MIY app with the Amiron? The technology sounds impressive if it works.

Dec 7, 2018

riccardo99Sorry I meant the Amiron Home, I have no experience with Amiron Wireless.

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...

A decent set of IEMs

I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

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.

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.
