Sony MDR XB950 BT Good or Bad?
I'm looking for a good wireless headphone that I can use for pretty much anything. I'm also wondering if I should just go in-ear or over ear. I tend to sleep, exercise, and work with my headphones in so any thoughts or comments would be helpful.

They are a bit awkward for sleeping. Though for consumer audio, they're honestly so damn good. I personally wouldn't use studio monitors to listen to music- I would use studio monitors for studio monitoring and these headphones any day for music listening.
For work, these headphones are significantly more comfortable that most headphones out there (like the Beats [don't get beats- they're trash]). I'll make an exception for Bose Quiet Comfort. They don't have as much bass as the Sony's, but they have really good noise cancellation in comparison with the Sony MDR 950N1s.
Working out... I've used these headphones on the treadmill. They don't fall off, but you're going to sweat and that may be annoying. These aren't water resistant to any degree, so watch out for that too.

This depends on if youre in favor of the prominent bass. If youre looking for an audiophile headphone with a nice balanced signature then id look somewhere else. If you want something to rumble your skull then you will love it. I bought one awhile back since i found it for t0 bucks, i fugured it would be nice for mlyoutube and movies at least, and it is. But i vant listsn to music with it, its just too much for me even with no boost. Id personally suggest the wireless v moda, over it, but if you really want that rumble then youll be happy with it

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.
