LOL_REKTI don’t want to play a game of assumptions but i was hesitant myself. I joined the drop just minutes after it was on and I felt hesitant for quite some time since I’m throwing such money on a pair of headphones. However, i know exactly what I’m getting and I believe it’s a bargain and a good deal. I did my homework long time ago and I got to know for sure that Mr. Speakers Ether C Flow is the only closed back headphones worth buying, for my taste. Ironically enough, I was telling a friend of mine that I wish Massdrop will sell the Ether C Flow, that was before the drop and now i regret not wishing a million dollars at the time. If you want to join, I would encourage you to go ahead if you know exactly what are you looking for. And BTW, the Aeons are not as good as the Ether IMO. Good luck

LOL_REKTFor the price, from what I know about the normal Ethers, its a great deal. The Flows are better, but then look at the price tag for Flows $1600.... I'd hope they are better for that price of nearly double. Which the Ether 2s at $2k that isn't much more, and I'm sure Ether 2 Cs will come out some day. Flows are on sligtly shaky ground atm. Soon as I saw this drop I didn't even question it. (Considering how average cell phones now a days are $900 that people replace every 2 years. When I'm at home, I have headphones on, my Hifimans get much more use then my P20. And I don't plan on replacing these ethers anytime soon)

LOL_REKTThere are newer headphones that came out this year like ether flow 2 and focal elegia first closedback headphones. I think the elegia ($899) is a better deal than the ether cx ($976 after tax). Elegia comes with headphone case with newer driver and voicecoil. Ether cx doesnt come with case and its a updated old tech. It just didnt make sense to go backwards when there is a ether flow 2 already out. If mr speakers set the price back $700 including the headphone case then I would of considered it. Focal actually set their prices back where elears are $700, clears $1100, uptopia $3000 at dealer sites. Both headphones look great but I rather choose the one with the newest updated tech. Elegia wins me over this based on value. I really want to try mr speakers headphones 1 day when its more afforable.

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!!

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.
