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!!

Modded headphones with qudelix at the core

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.

If you were to ask me this moment my thoughts on the site, I'd definitely point people elsewhere to do their shopping. Which is again unfortunate, since, I've had nothing but stellar service up until this point (outside of the, expected at this point, shipping delays )
@AveryC, we've been waiting for any kind of response or update with more information but we've received nothing. At this point I don't think I can feel safe participating in any future drops.
As I just mentioned above this reply, I'm sorry for the poor communication on this front, and the poor experience we provided. We have been in touch with USPS and are doing our best to escalate the issue and get movement (which started to happen last night) with them. We're also working on updating our process to see if there's a way we can avoid, or at least minimize, delays like this in the future. That said, there are delays that are outside of our control - when a big storm hits, for example, there can be systematic delays. That's not to say there aren't things we can do to improve our processes and reduce delays - just that it's not a black and white issue.
You are absolutely correct on that sharing information would have helped a lot. Not only to the shipping phase, but also to the previous delays. I am personally very appreciative of the fact that drops like this one can happen and one delay or two would be disappointing, but I knew the risk when I placed the order.
Discussion didn't really explode until Massdrop representatives became silent (maybe one reply per day max?) after the shipping issue was discovered. Just as you said, you should have told us. The 1500 users seeing the announcements and replies can only feel assured purchasing from Massdrop if that would happen in the future.
Also, maybe different delivery options in the future for expensive drops please?
So there were 145 units being sent in the second half? Does anyone remember how many extra units were added? I ask because I was actually in the first initial drop so it's kind of saddening that they were sent last and now are in the group with shipping issues.
Is there also any way to expedite the shipping and make sure they safely arrive to us? It's the most money I've ever spent online so makes me nervous seeing all these issues.
Believe it or not we've gotten significantly better at communication in drops in the past 6 months. But we have A LOT of work to do here still, as shown by delays on communication in this drop.
I'll follow-up with the logistics team on options for expediting shipping on the current drop (seems unlikely given they're mid-route) and as options for future drops (more likely, and something I'm sure our team and Noble will both want to consider more after this incident).
Lastly, I totally understand your nervousness around making a big purchase like this online. To that end, while it's still nerve-wracking anytime you spend this much online anywhere, my aim is for Massdrop to feel a bit less nerve-wracking because a) you can hear and talk to us and other purchasers in real time here b) you trust that Massdrop will be responsive, communicative, and do right by you. As mentioned, there is still work to be done to deliver on this (ugh no pun intended, but leaving it in now that I wrote it). If for some unexpected reason you do have an issue here, I'm confident that our support team will be able to help make it right (and you can always reach out to me directly, brad.ross@massdrop.com) if you're stuck.
Thanks for the patience in dealing with the delays and poor communication, and for being a part of this drop and the massdrop community. Looking forward to these getting delivered and relieving that built up nervousness!
