I have three uses for closed phones:
1) In a web/computer meeting with clients. Here I want a boom mic, which I have from V-Moda. So having a 3.5mm female input at the earcup is a plus.
2) Next to my spouse while she’s watching TV or her iPad. Moderate to excellent isolation is a plus, but I’m not sold on Noise Cancellation, prefer natural enclosure
3) Portable occasions. When walking outside in my Florida environment, Alcantara EarPods or the Dekoni pads (not leather) have been the best. (Here’s where my OPPO PM-3 let me down.) Plus the female 3.5 input would allow me to use A&K BT receiver (thanks MassDrop!). When on mass transit, the ability to fold inward or at least flat would be best.
So the two phones most interesting to me now are V-Moda XS which only fail on isolation. Or the Dekoni Blue, which only fail in easy portability.
So your job, MassDrop, is to get a Dekoni V-Moda XS .
HEADBAND: the AKG K system is awesome but horrid for portability, so any decently padded one (again, not leather) would suit me.
SOUND: Oppo PM-3 neutrality or a touch more bass akin to MassDrop HiFiMan 4XX. (Again, Dekoni Blue seems enticing. Las drop my budget strained, dang it.) From closed phones I don’t expect super wide soundstage, thaat’s for open back listening at home. If you get ahold of Aeon Flow either Open or Closed, forget all other criteria, I’m in, as their sound trumps all other concerns including my wallet’s cries of frustration..

PDC3I love the v-moda xs for its design, form factor/portability and durability! Frequency balance is okay, but driver speed is lacking, which smears the sound somewhat

Any possibility of more Hivi Swan monitors?

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.
