Best isolating / decent sound for work?
Has anyone tried the new Beyerdynamic DT1770s? I love my DT770s, but they are to be honest, too flawed for my ears. But they isolate well, which is actually a more important criteria for work, as we are about to move to tighter quarters. Anything else that isolates as well? The Leatherheads are a little too expensive for both the workplace and the public transport commute, and IEMs aren't comfortable for extended listening.

Not too long ago I purchase this HP and I must say it sounds very "stoutee" and wide. The first few days was uncomfortable at first, then got use to it because it sounds so good. I'm using Schiit Bifrost Multi Bit and Lyer2 for amp.

I should probably qualify that the flaws are extremely minor to me -- yes, the bass is just a little too much, but a decent amp keeps it controlled enough that one can still hear the upper registers. But it also has a slight etch. It took me years to hear it, and that was with listening to it 8 hours a day at a time. It sounds from your desscription that the etch might be less on the DT1770. I realize it's several times the price of the DT770, but that's always the case with headphones -- once you get past a certain point, you have to spend x times the money to get only a marginal increase in quality. I guess if I'm going to go back to listening to these headphones 8 hours a day at a time, I'm willing to spend that much extra to get rid of the etch.
Thanks for your feedback.

DustyChalkHi there
Yes I would say the bass on the dt1770 is not as strong as the dt770 still pronounced just not as much have you tried e.q.? That may help. I would recommend something like the b&o h6 I find them comfortable and really nice sounding also closed with pretty good isolation although not as isolating as the dt770. They do bass much better imo still a little pronounced but for me it's just right.

What is it that you find flawed about the dt770s?. I have owned both dt1770 seemed pretty similar to the dt770 both pretty bass heavy headphones imo but the dt1770 has better clarity. I would personally not say it's a worthy upgrade though just don't think it's so much better tbh.

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.
