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.

This doesn't even have good audio hardware, 20mW is jack squat in terms of power. Good luck driving anything but an IEM properly with that.
Not to mention the Sansa Clip+ is $30 and pretty much any music-focused iPod <$150 these days. This is twice the price.
Or maybe I just don't understand what gigantic, inefficient non-portable headphone you're trying to power with a tiny, portable player.
Please stop spreading misinformation to prospective buyers - you don't need 10W of Class A to power a portable setup. This player will be fine for majority of people that
- Don't want to drain their phone battery by listening to music - Hate how the output impedance of phones messes with the crossover of their multi-drive IEMs - Hate the EM interference from their phone's terrible analogue out - Don't want to carry around a 2lb stack of electronics with an external amp or DAC attached to their phone - Don't want to carry their phone while working out
Etc.. etc..
I like having something dedicated to music. I don't really care about high res audio, storage is what I care about. I want a lot of storage without having to worry about all the space being taken up by dumbass apps and all the other stuff on my phone. It doesn't drain battery from a bunch of other nonsense going on in the background either, just from its core function. Phones are replaced frequently too. This is the first time I've actually HAD to replace my ipod nano in almost 8 years (and only because it was at my workplace during a fire). I have been meaning to move up in capacity but it hadn't given out yet where I absolutely had to. I don't want to have to resync ALL of my music every time I get a new phone (it's a lot and growing all the time). An expense like this will only be necessary a few times in my life whereas I'll probably go through countless phones so the price isn't really that awful. I don't know about the longevity of this one personally, but all the reviews I've read so far have only good stuff to say about it. I'm not saying I go out buying an individual device for each function smartphones have, but this is something I use so much that I want something dedicated to it. If that makes sense, it did in my head.
I also use earbuds, screw headphones.
