Can these be worn from the bottom? (As opposed to the way shown in the pictures) If so, which way is more comfortable?
Thanks.

Oneyedrunkyes they can but it will fall quite easily, unless you use the left unit for the right ear and vice versa then switch the cables. same level of comfort for me. This is how it looks like https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_comment/vrBLm6kaTjC5HnTri8BD_IMG_20171013_132658_01.jpg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=min&h=425&dpr=2

OnslashThanks. So wearing them over the ear is completely comfortable and doesn't irritate you?

OneyedrunkIt doesn't but it makes it protrude more therefore wearing it cable down while like sleeping on a pillow hurts.

OnslashThanks again Would you recommend this as my first IEMs? In terms of comfort and sound?

OneyedrunkDepends on what sound signature you like tbh. My main audio setup is a beyerdynamic t90 which are v shaped and considered pretty bright, however for earphones i prefer something darker and easier to listen to. I previously used beyerdynamic dx 120 ie, bass on those is much better than this . However this sounds much more balanced and replacable cable is a nice addition. The bass on some songs seems to be generally punchy but some songs it makes it sound like it lacks a bit of quantity. The bass don't decay quickly, it also lacks very low frequency bass. I guess a limitation of 6mm microdrivers

OnslashI'm quite a newbie in the audio field but at home I use the Aune T1 (mk2 i think) with sony MA900. Also have ATH-AD700 from Audio Technica which I also love.. and Shure SRH-840 but they clamp too hard so they're just sitting there. So.. I don't know what sound signature I'm after but I read that the ma900 and the ath-ad700 are considered balanced and of course they're open so they have a nice sound-stage. I suppose something balanced is good for me and I'm not looking for more bass than normal.
Thanks again for helping :)

OneyedrunkOh and forgot to say that outside I have a shitty phone but waiting for the V30 to come out in my country and then I'll get it, supposedly the onboard DAC is decent at least.

OneyedrunkThen these things should suite you they have slightly more bass than normal but don't sound muddy . They still sound clear. No prob !

Oct 21, 2017

OneyedrunkThese would greatly benefit the v30's some weaker phones have problems drivings these loud . The sensitivity is quite low. I usually listen to music on my one plus 3t at about 50% volume , these edc needs about 70%

OnslashNot as much of a focus on the bass but how sharp is the sound at higher ranges along with the vocals? And is the op3 t, good enough to drive the sound?

stuey138I'd say its quite good for this price point. Highs are not piercing to hear, although in some tracks i wish the high frequency is a bit less and a touch louder vocals. The op3t drives it fine , i notice a bit of improvement on audioquest dragonfly 1.2 , particularly in soundstage . It needed about 30% to reach the same volume as one plus 3t 70%

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!!
