Westone 30 IEMs

Should I even consider getting these for everyday use? I have never tried high-end earphones before, and up until this point I have only ever touched very low-end earbuds. I could see myself using them for 1-2 hours daily, but I have no professional equipment, so they would be plugged directly into my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge) and used for music, podcasts and videos. I almost jumped on the Noble X drop, but the shipping date was really off-putting, so I was thinking this might be a good entry into the high-end IEM market instead.

ChappleThis is basically what I plan to use mine for, listening to music while commuting to work. Would they sound better plugged into some high end gear yes, but good IEMs will still sound better than cheep ones regardless of what they are plugged into.

ChappleSo, if it doesn't hurt you to buy these you can use them from your phone of course. The Galaxy S6's DAC is kinda good for a phone. There might come the day, when you're gonna buy some more hardware :) I think this wouldn't be an error if that helps. From what I've read the sound signature of these are into the direction of something most people ( not talking about most audiophiles) are used to. Don't own them myself and also I am no expert, but again: If you have the money and it doesn't hurt you, I think you're most likely gonna be happy with these.

ChappleI am very close to making these my first Massdrop purchase, and currently the only thing holding me back is the 25% extra tax I have to pay on top of the 22$ shipping, because I live in Norway. As far as I can tell there are no Westone items being sold here, period, so it ends up being cheaper regardless, but it still stings.

ChappleSame Tax and Import problems. Feel ya Buddy. Just pull the Trigger, you are the Last Missing Person haha

Chappleyep tax is annoying but it would be in the price otherwise in Norway I assume. I will have the same or there abouts to pay. We can all cry together once we have them. Plus...meh, we only live once, right!

Churchps..Chapple and Church talking to each other. I know the spelling's different but still. Spooky. Lol. Now if i can just find a Diziet to talk to (literally nobody will get that)

ChappleI had another thought on this. one day, your best friend might be something like the E18 Kunlun from Fiio. It is perfect for android phones and can be strapped to them for portable use. DAC/AMP combo and can even act as external battery for stuff (not as dac amp at same time). It has a bass boost too for when you want more low end out of iems.

ChappleI bit the bullet and joined the drop, and I definitely appreciate all the feedback. Although I am not eager to wait weeks for the shipment to arrive, these will be nice for the university commute.

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.
