Modded headphones with qudelix at the core
When I received the Qudelix 5K, I had already modified a pair of Superlux HD-681 headphones. I previously soldered my own balanced connections to the drivers, providing multiple ways to connect and...

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.

Also, K7XX or 6XX? I love the looks of the first but I've had only good experiences with Sennheiser.
recommendations in price ascending are emu purple hearts (on here 80$), shure 215 (arguably the best starter iem runs about 100$ but Ive seen them down to 60 on sale), Massdrops Noble X is a good set in the 250$ range or you can get the wizard tuned ones for a bit more (he’s a beast so I’d definitely recommend springing the extra cash) and finally the Sennheiser momentum is a nice midrange set of overheads. (Make sure you get the newest generation as I know they frequently improve on this set.
Sourcing is another interesting topic. If going from your phone I can say the audio quest dragonfly is the most convenient and provides a noticeable improvement over most any onboard DAC. That being said if you’re on anything but iphone I vastly preferred the Dacport from centrance. Much wider stage and richer sound, but I could never get it to work on my idevice.
This mostly covers the lower-middle range as this rabbit hole goes really really deep. (I’m waiting on a set of 900$ IEMs from massdrop - looking at you @bradr ) so if you have any questions feel free to reach out.
Thanks for the headphone recommendations, I'll look into the ones I don't know yet. I've had a wayyy better experience with Sennheiser 461Gs than the Momentums. The earpads are really stiff but it didn't bother me much once I got used to it.
I can't imagine spending $900 on an audio set up yet. All that money being taken away from keyboards!
If you ever save up enough, I’d recommend the PM-3s (Oppo is going to discontinue it soon though) or the new P7 wireless (not the wired originally p7, the new wireless p7 has better sound revisions).
