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...

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.

I’ve been using this cable with Massdrop x Noble X Universal IEMs, and the beeping sounds with these sensitive IEMs are extremely loud and painful. I find myself afraid to use the device as the battery level decreases because I know that at some unexpected moment there will be explosive beeping in my inner ear.
I love the build quality of the cable. I find it more comfortable and more premium-feeling than Noble’s stock cable, which was already great. I will have to return the product to Massdrop if the dangerous beeping can’t be stopped, but I’m not pleased by the thought of returning it as I’ve actually come to like this cable quite a lot. I’d love to keep it if I can.
When the notification sounds are at their lowest volume, they are tolerable. As far as I can tell, the volume setting is saved between powering off and back on. The power-off sound is now completely tolerable, but the power-on sound seems to consist of 6 tones—the first 4 are lowered, but the final 2 are still quite loud.
Anyway, as long as I power on the device before inserting the monitors into my ears, it should be fine. Thanks again for the help.
As to the the comment about the loud beeps at power on/off (alert tones is what I call them). I agree with the above comment that these are almost intolerable, borderline painful. Please get an engineer to create the default sound level for these alert tones at the lowest level.
I have read through the PDF multiple times, and I have implemented the "simple" suggestion listed above. However, you really need to add a section in the PDF about this procedure. And you need to be much more remedial/verbose about the steps involved, plus the expected results.
I needed to run through this procedure multiple times, it wasn't until I discovered that I needed to press the "-" button directly after I paused the music, only then did I hear the "confirmation tone" alerting me that the volume of the alert tones were decreasing.
Just to repeat myself, I needed to pause the music and immediately press the minus button and hear a single tone, and then restart the music and repeat this procedure multiple times to get the alert tones to the lowest level possible. It seems I could only decrease the alert tones 1 or maybe 2 steps each time.
Nevertheless, I am happy now with the sound level of the alert tones.
