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!!

The PC 363d and PC37x seem nearly identical though: detachable cord, slightly different color scheme, and no USB sound card. Both have 3.5mm jacks and are 99% visually similar in design; the mic arm seems ever slightly different.
After a few years of use, I found the PC 363d did start to break down. The plastic begins to squeak, the microphone arm starts to come loose at the point of flexion, and the audio cable starts to get kinked where it inserts into the headset. Unlike the HD 555, the plastic hasn't started cracking at least. I really wish Sennheiser used better plastics with some of their products.
I love my PC 363d, but I've primarily switched to a Shure SM7B and my HD 6XX's for gaming. The reality is, the microphone on the PC 363d isn't that great. It's far better than any other gaming headset, but it is still a let down when compared to proper studio microphones or even a broadcast-grade lav mic. Where it excels is in convenience and noise rejection -- it's rarely in the way, it provides consistent volume levels, it's easy to mute, and it doesn't pick up the sound of my keyboard.
When I use it, my gaming friends note that there is no bass in my voice -- I sound shrill and unpleasant compared to even a cheap Snowball mic.
To improve the audio quality of the mic, to get it to something near acceptable, here is what I do though: -- I use a high quality sound card or an XLR mixer with adapted 5V phantom power. -- I use a foam windscreen. $15 for a really nice one. -- vsthost + virtual audio cable + RX5 noise remover + EQ depending on the game I'm playing. -- position the mic correctly and learn to speak correctly.
When using the USB sound interface provided by Sennheiser, while it drives the headphones just fine, it seems to add a lot of noise-rejecting effects to the mic input. Probably a bass-roll-off too. Using a cheap on-board sound card will create a fairly noisy experience alternatively, but it will perhaps sound more natural. Overall, the USB sound card provided by Sennheiser (363d) still worked better than the mic input on my Intel Motherboard and better than my Android Moto G phone. It's not garbage-- just not great.
If you have a 373d, and find the USB audio device to not be that great either, you can buy a new audio cable that has the 3.5mm jacks instead of the USB plug. So in essence, you can turn the 373d into a 37X for $30, with the addition of some red accents.
Comfort and sound-wise, these are all open-back headphones that are extremely comfortable to wear. They sound great, although if you want a lot of THUMP in your music, you aren't going to get them here. They also do leak sound, so they may not be suitable for work. Great for at home gaming though. They seem on par with the HD 555 and HD 598; easy to drive also. They are not comparable to the HD 6XXs though, although musically they can be just as enjoyable -- better than the HD 6XX if running them off a phone.
