IEM help
So I'm interested in getting more into IEMs. I currently have Bose Sound Sports which I've been using for 4+ years with zero issues. I love the ear tips and how theyre molded to your ear. I get zero fatigue. I wear them almost constantly unless I'm in lecture or with friends. I just wanted to know if there are any upgrades from the Bose Sound Sports that anyone would recommend. Also, I'm kind of interested in the wire loopy thing over the ear but was wondering if that worked for while sleeping or if they fall out. Also, any good wireless earbuds anyone recommends? I got a pair of Ticpod Frees but theyre late. I fear that the ear piece will be too contrasting from the soundsports and I'll hate them. Thanks in advance :)

Probably should add a little more info on what you are looking for: budget, use case, sound signature preference, etc.
Lots of great IEMs out there with sound quality much better than Bose. Wearing them over ear is preferred for me (a lot more comfortable). The Shure/Westone IEM shape works for a lot of people and most of the IEMs dropped here can be worn over the ear vs the cable down
You can always start with budget fi IEMs and work your way up. Something like the Nuforce EDC. I will say that having removable cables is very very nice, since cables are usually the first to go bad. I'd hate to have to throw away a good pair of IEMs just because of a bad cable, but it happens.

Be careful with getting into these knives I'm currently waiting on 5 knife collaboration drops and have purchased 23 knives this year. I've got issues and love it😜

Crkt imo has kind of gone downhill with the quality of their knives. They have outstanding customer service. The knife that you commented on is a warranty replacement. The pocket clip is really weak and broke. They didn't have a replacement so they replaced the knife. That's when I noticed the quality decline. The knife I returned was a first run knife and the one I received for a replacement feels like a completely different knife. The pivot screw is just a little off center, the detent feels stronger, blade is a smidge off center, it feels like a knockoff. I'm kinda OCD and a little anal and notice all the tiny differences. I even emailed crkt about it and they offered to replace it again or refund or exchange it with a different knife and give me a 50% off voucher.

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.
