Wireless Headphones
I'm interested in buying a pair of relatively budget wireless headphones, over ear, for everyday wear. What would you recommend? and any tips on buying headphones? also, what do you guys wear?

Had a similar question: Looking at BlueTooth headphones/buds ideally completely wireless ala ZOLO Liberties and/or Koss BT540i or BT539i. Possible AKG N60NC or Y50BTs. Any thoughts on these. Please no Beats. Will be using them in office, and the trains/planes/automobiles, but not wanting to spend a mint for some quality sound. These were the ones I started to look at but was looking for opinions

A different solution. IF you already have any good headphones I would recommend Fiio BTR1 which is a very small bluetooth amplifier. It’s very small, shirt pocket clip type and has very good reviews on YouTube. You can get it for 50 bucks on Amazon.

I'll arbitrarily decide that by "relatively budget", you might be thinking $100 or so. It's been a while since i filled this niche in my collection, but if I was shopping today I'd be looking at the Sennheiser HD 4.40. I keep seeing them on sale for about $100, and I'd probably bite.
On-ears predominate in this price range, so it's a bit tough to find good over ears from a reputable maker. If your budget increases, your options get wider. Avoid the off-brand over-ears that you find everywhere. Rare gems, lots of junk.
A couple of flyers on discontinued items if you can find them - the Mee AirFi Matrix 2 with an HM5 pad mod was great for well under $100. The Parrot Zik 2.0 can also be found for less than $100. Nice sound, a design you'll either love or hate, but poor battery life (by no means pay more than $100). I still use the Mee regularly, and my wife loves her Zik 2.

GunsOfBrixtonYeah, you kinda hit the nail on the head, about $100 or so. I'm thinking about some Sony WH-CH700N headphones. Seen them on amazon they're not too bad by the reviews I've read. I'll check out your suggestions now

You can buy BT module for m40x or m50x for pretty cheap and turn them into wireless.

MasudRanaJust had a quick look. I've actually already got a pair of m50x's for my office, does the BT mod add any weight to the headphones? Looks small enough not to be a massive problem

SafetySocksIt sure does add some weight but I dont think too much. You can check its weight there.

I have the sony 950bt and a converted bose qc15. I do not recommend them AT ALL.

SafetySocksSony 950bt is like having a bass drum next to your eardrums and bose qc15 has no mids, give this really weird and tiring pressurized sensation when noise cancelation is activated (and can only listen to music when the darn ac is on)
PXC550 was shortlisted before realizing that I don't need another anc headphone... and found out about the HD6XX!

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.

Wondering what type of sound signature the Drop Grell project headphones will have or trying to attain. Any update would be appreciated.

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.
