I just got the HA-2 SE, to replace my SoundBlaster E5 for mobile, and am still playing around with it. But when I read this I jumped on the PM-3 . I hope it will be a good office or public place counterpart to the HE-4xx that I use at home. From everything I have read it should shine. On a related note, does any one have experience replacing the pleather pads? I've heard about them coming apart after a while and would like to pre-empt that.

DogFortThe pleather pads are attached quite tightly to the ear capsules with small plastic clips, they are replaceable - and Oppo do sell replacements (though the manual says you will have to send them in for service, which is not correct)

DogFortBy the way, as an aside I took a photo recently of everything that came with my pair. You won’t be disappointed in the accessories either.

That's such a bummer ! It seems like they made some amazing products. I was hoping it was April's fool or something.

Hey, I finally got the Orions!
I've had them for about 3 days now, and oh boi.
I'm sure you've read about them, so you've got a grasp on what they are like: Good highs, not sibilant at all(at least I didn't find them to be when compared to the K7XX) although sometimes they startle me( when the cymbals are hit hard and such other moments), I guess I'd tone it a down a little bit if I could(gotta learn how to use EQ). The mids are simply amazing, not much more to say about it than that, amazing. The bass... well, it isn't thumping and ultra powerful, but then again I've never even listened to bass heavy cans so I dunno what "bassy" sounds like, but it is present enough so that I don't miss it and it is of good quality, so I'm completely satisfied with it.
I've been listening mainly to jazz, rock, metal and pop on it and thus far I haven't regretted my purchase at all. They sounded awesome out of the box and plugged to my phone(S8), but when I plugged them into my rig I did feel the difference, the soundstage became a bit wider, there was more space, more "air", I guess, the sound also sounded more detailed(I guessing the mimby is responsible for this). To sum it up, they sound awesome out of the phone and I'm totally using it when I go out, but if you give them the extra juice they'll welcome it.
Now, on to how it looks... I'll let the images below do the talking, and I do believe they are quite persuasive.
The only other thing I'd like to comment on is their size. Probably because I've never bought IEMs before, all the pics I saw made me fell like the canvas case that came with them was much bigger than it actually is, not that it is a bad thing I was just surprised is all.

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.
