Travel headphones under 250?
Idk if this is the right place to post, but I`m hoping someone can help me find a pair of headphones for traveling under 250 bucks? I dont have all that much money to spend on headphones, and the only other pair I`ve gotten suggested elsewhere is the Sennheiser momentums. Do any of you have any other suggestions?

Probably too late for the OP, but right now QC25s are $180 at amazon.

If you’re willing to consider IEMs instead of over-ear headphones, the 1More Quad Driver IEMs for $199 are simply stellar and sound way above their price range—like Senn 650 good. If you want to stick with over ear headphones, the Senn 598s are great—85%-90% of what you get with Senn 650 but way easier to drive. If you’re willing to spend a little more, can’t say enough about the Oppo PM-3. They’re $400. But Oppo sells them refurbished on their store sporadically for around $300. A friend and I both got ours that way. They appeared brand new and sound excellent for all genres. They’re super easy to drive, closed-backed, premium build, comfortable, and tuned close to neutral with a very slight U shape.

I use a pair of Bowers & Wilkins P7's ($700 usd), they're excellent but pricey.. But they fold and are built like tanks. I couldn't find any other ones that fit my criteria so I saved up and bought them. Sorry if this isn't much help.

Sennheiser HD598cs (at amazon), they're the closed back version of the 598s. They don't fold, but they sound wonderful. But no noise canceling... Bose does that. Good Luck!

When someone says "travel headphones" I think active noise canceling, and Bose makes the best ones. QC 20 is just in your budget, but they're in ears. QC 25 have better sound quality (imo), but they cost a bit more.

These Sennheisers are great <200. Sony came out with a pair of truly wireless buds recently as well. Both the Sennheisers and the Sony's have decent noise cancelling

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.
