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.

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!!

It isn't like they are a smart phone/tablet etc. We are not talking about a difference in ram, internal memory etc. The difference is in sound quality and considering the k10 has 29 consecutive 5 star reviews it is a pretty safe bet the sound is good, even when compared to the Encore.
1) Noble phased out the K10 maybe two years ago, there would be little economic sense to phase out the k10 with with 100's of units sitting in inventory
2) shipping would be imidieate after order placement, if say they were old inventory
3) the housing anodized colors of the Massdrop caloborative k10s are not the same as the original k10s
Calm down man! This is turning out like an Intel vs AMD fan-war, and I would hate to see toxicity on this forum.
By chance, did you miss a part of the description, and are fighting an argument about something unneeded. Of course the IEM itself would not be old inventory, as that would kill any businesses cash to cash cycle. They are simply reviving an older product at a lower cost, and most likely using the same drivers and shells. More importantly, It is clearly stated that this unit is a remake of the Original K10. This means that it contains the exact same sonic signature, which has been known to have a slightly small or narrow presence in midrange reproduction during usage. The Kaiser Encore was created afterwards, with a hope of changing the sound signature, which has been confirmed by Head-Fi, and other sources like Headfonia stating that, “Taking the air and extension of Katana and combining it with the low end grunt and fun musical signature of K10. Kaiser Encore’s mids have also been retuned to form a bigger and more spacious sound stage and to add more clarity to the picture.” I'm just a bit surprised at the lower cost, granted it is a nice deal. I also never meant to downplay the original K10, or your reputation. I was simply looking at things from a cost perspective. These earphones are still considered a luxury product to me, which is quite the investment if purchased. Some people may want to enter the high end audio market, and purchase this without looking into other options. I imagine that those who could buy these would fall into two categories:
A: People who own multiple IEM's, and can afford to purchase and collect multiple pair each year B: People who may own one pair, and wish to get the most out of it, before purchasing anew
I expect a good amount of purchasers to fall into category B, in which opportunity cost will come into play. While these come quite cheap, some people may be chasing a different sonic signature. Those who do may benefit from buying a different IEM or Nobel model, especially during a sale. Once you enter the world of “high end audio” people normally chase a specifically reproducible sound signature, as current speaker technology can only go so far. Some people may rather pay a bit more, if it gives them a “perfect” product, for the course of its usage cycle.
