I am not a supporter of "hearing loss" but I do have a collection to show. (I can't show all since upload limit is 8 photos)

These are my causal, walk around/s: lower shelf: Meze 99 classic (hidden behind on the left), ATH-MSR7-LTD, HD6xx, VISO HP50, PM-3 upper shelf: performance 860, crossfade M-100

These ones are for if things heats up a bit: lower shelf: K7xx, K550, MDR-7506, T50rp-MK3 upper shelf: ATH-AD1000x, ATH-W1000x

And here we have just for the couch, laid back: lower shelf: HD700, DT880, K712 upper shelf: PM-2, MDR-Z7

For portable/ travel: UE900, XBA-H3, M300 with: Fiio A5 Let's not forgot the amplifier/s who are doing all the hard bits: Gustard H10 (chips swapped), AUNE X7s, Schiit Magni 3 + Asgard 2

And last but not least for the wireless, in stereo: SRS-XB3/s (Lt + Rt twins)

OZ.Bloody.RabbitJust missing the T1. I just bought one and it's an incredible sound.
How do you like that Gustard amp?

OZ.Bloody.RabbitAlways thought the W1000X was absolutely gorgeous. Audio Technica has always done a good job of making stuff look good though... even when it was funky. Like the EW9.
How do you like the AD1000X though? Always have been curious about the AD line, but never owned a pair.

KJ741NIt's very flexible amp, plenty of headroom for most headphones. Out of the box I find it bit "blend", but responds well to chips swapped. One combination I liked was OPA2604 + OPA627, now I am currently running twin LME49990 at the small signal stage and OPA827 at amplification stage. I heard good things about the T1, and the new 1770 (closed) or 1990 (open) also caught my attentions.

ProfessorPatThe ATH always had reputation for mid range, and AD1000X are impressive on the voice and violin range, more detail, but not piecing/ harsh. Lower bass can be a bit light on comparison though.

OZ.Bloody.RabbitI listen to a lot of music featuring violin. The T1 I have is nice, but once in a while I wince just a little bit on some of those high notes. Never did that with the AKG or Sennheiser. Which of your phones do you like best for listening to violin?

KJ741NI actually use the K712 exclusively if I want to know exactly what's happening in the music, texture, imaging, their accuracy is like living a wet dream. A good amp helps too, I guess. DT880 are very transparent and gives a concert hall feel, and the HD700 are very smooth with deep bass, more like a recording room (with EQ tuning). But instead, the K712 get you the first person presentation. Two songs I always listen are Air on G-string arranged from BWV 1068; and Winter from Four Season.

AdrianLYa, a reasonable size foot print and quiet stable (round shape) base. Doesn't strain the spring/ elastic is a bonus (on AKG, ATH).

OZ.Bloody.RabbitCould you give a quick comparison of the 1000X to the 6XX?

SephHaleyHi, sorry for the late reply, got carried away by work recently. Long story short, our team are three men down and there is an enormous shift in workload + stress. All went to better places on short notice, one is spiritually (and physically) and the other two decided on their own record (mentally). I am assuming you mean the ATH-AD1000x vs HD-6xx, while both are dual entry and open mesh back (instead of the ATH-W1000x which is single side and closed back) and will compare accordingly. The two are tuned differently to different gene and everything are relatively to each other. I will start with the overall sound signature, AD1000X have more mid + treble and HD6XX has better bass + deep bass drive/ authority. Comfort-wise, the AD1000X are light on the head and larger circle cups don't put stress on the outer ears. The HD6XX have more clamps all-round and the oval cups are flush to the ears. Practically speaking, the AD1000X are more suit for sitting very still (couch) while the HD6XX are better choice when you have to move around (at the desk, making coffee, feeding the cat). As with the presentation is really set them apart. AD1000X has a much more open and detail sound, tad more emphasize on voice, better clarity (separation between instruments), very transparent (X/Y + A/B). HD6XX have the Senn veil, while more apparent on lesser power amplification, but I doubt the X7S, H10, Asgard2 and Magni3 is anything on the small scale. The bass are clean and deep, the mids + treble relatively not as clear and more constrict, some call it *smooth or fluid*. The sound comes within the cups, bouncing at the barrier. AD1000X the sound tracks are less constraint. EDITED: overall, the AD1000X is more acoustics and HD6XX is more musical.

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.
