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.

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.

IEMs are one of the most important product categories in the Audio space, but there’s always been a huge gap between affordable and premium units (performance, design, build quality, etc). In an effort to make premium IEMs accessible, we spoke with several possible partners about an IEM collaboration earlier this year.
Through those discussions, we found that Brannan and John at Noble Audio best understood our intentions. Over the past few months we’ve worked with the team at Noble to produce the X, a premium IEM (made in the USA, proprietary BA drivers, CNC’d aluminum faceplates) tuned for the masses with a price to match.
The sound signature is a mixture of fun and clarity, seeking a balance between styles for the breadth of the community.
If you have other questions, I’ll be by to answer them.
Thank you for your interest in this drop! These products wouldn’t be possible without the support of enthusiasts like you.
One interesting thing I just noticed: there are only 2000 spots! I know I'll be trying to get mine the second they go live. I don't want another HD6XX situation where I don't get in because I checked the page 30 minutes after it went live :(
Thanks for your interest and your question....
There will be about a month for ordering and receiving parts/materials, then a couple of months to make/assemble. I may have added a little time to be safe, hope that we can bring that date in.
After they arrive at our warehouse, should be about 10-13 days to those in the US. Hope that helps!
Btw, for those interested, you may find an initial analysis / review from a review copy here: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/massdrop-x-noble-x.3272/
Still trying to get more details on the Lightning Cable, but did learn that the materials and design of the cable make it difficult to add a microphone and controls. So for this launch, the lightning cable will not have a microphone or controls. (There may be a Lightning Microphone Cable in the future.)
Thank you so much for your support of this drop! We are really happy to be able to bring this to you...
"For all of those asking about our Lightning cable, we are pleased to be able to offer this option while still utilizing our black Noble cable material that so many enjoy. There's no mic/controls on the cable as the cable composition of our black cable (quad-braid, SPC) does not lend itself to this kind of componentry (volume is controlled at the device level). As for the presence of a DAC, we are working with our manufacturer to provide the most accurate information possible and will circle back once we have all the details. That being said, we have tested the cable extensively across various Apple devices running different versions of iOS and can confirm it works and sounds great. The cable will be available for purchase directly via our website as well so that all Noble customers can enjoy their IEMs/CIEMs with the latest Apple devices."
