I asked some IEM company just a couple, at most, years ago about have NO Wires at all on them. Because they ALL use a wire that's about the size of a couple HAIRS. They told Me that would be impossible.
Now they're everywhere.

613MemberIf we take an HD Bluetooth signal, and have a DSP, basically, directly driving the lowest possible mass/high stiffness MEMS transducers, you will get quality; it is headed this way. We will be getting better miniature solid state batteries at an affordable cost, hopefully soon to enable these to be truly right-sized... http://www.fdk.com/whatsnew-e/release20190509-e.html They will all need a complimentary wireless 'do-not-lose' locator phone app as well...
All should remember, in all this; Bluetooth is just a code(ec) that was utilizing a junk band that couldn’t travel further than we could throw (various stuff); that became useful in this new wonderful connected world; that will become more of an HMI - because the codec allows it to utilize WiFi bands; Bluetooth then becomes Mastertooth... and we get gobs of sq:)) score 1 for the Consumer team!

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

I'm interested to learn about the fit of these IEMs; from an outward appearance, they look like they're designed to pop right out of the ear. I can't see a structure that might help them sit within the ear well. Anyone have insight here?

Are there any official/unofficial replaceable headbands/head cushion for the DT 177X GO? My current one has gone through some wear and tear and is in need of being replaced. Anybody have any sources they can share?

This says "Estimated ship date is April 19." Is it still ok for me to make the purchase on the 20th or 21st?

A decent set of IEMs

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.

MEMS fabrication has been around for some time now, been making the systems used to make them, Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, and we are starting to see the fruition of that now in the audio field. Low moving mass with multiple transducers >1,000 and an array capable of operating in a phased array mode, damn what you can do with that spatially... especially when you can put multiples of these arrays in your cans, working in concert, think of the 'wave' with cheers going around the football stadium... and then they all stomp their feet at femto-once, well close to that;) Yes, IEM's are basically headed here, but not a fan, we truly hear with those cartilage-constructed, funny-looking sound shaping thingies call ears, I like a sound stage. Damping - no longer an issue; distortion - not really needed to be spoken about anymore - but we will-just cause...; DAC's - nope, just digital right until you move air... You can look here for more info; http://www.audiopixels.com.au/index.cfm/technology/ ; and of course videos are more fun and quicker to grasp; https://vimeo.com/73911683
Damn this will be fun...
FYI; I did send an email to the CEO asking about plans to put these in cans, will let you know if I hear anything back...
