Absolute beginner to audio here! I have a few things I want to ask somebody knowledgeable.
Hi! First, this might be a long read, sorry in advance.
-EDIT- Forgot to type my apologies if I incorrectly used DAC, IEM, AMP, etc and ended up speaking nonsense. I wanted to post this before I got any deeper into researching the bashttps://drop.com/buy/xduoo-xp-2-pro-bluetooth-dac-amp?utm_source=linkshare&referer=ZAMGMG)are&referer=ZAMGMG)t in audio has finally reached a fever pitch and I've decided to cautiously "jump in with one foot" (I usually jump into new things with both feet) and want to pick up a pair of IEMs. I'm sold on a pair of IEMs over a headset, for some reason. I was foolishly under the impression wired IEMs would be of no use, as I don't see myself using anything wired while using my PC, and I mainly want them for my phone. As you all know, some jerk thought it was a great idea discontinue audio jacks on modern phones! I was resigned to my limitation to Wireless, but somehow I stumbled across this photo while viewing some IEMs on Drop:

HD6XX Fenestrated Earpads Separating
I've had the fenestrated sheepskin earpads ever since getting the HD6XX in 2022 and over the last few years the inside of one earpad has come loose. I've tried to get it pushed back into the space between the inner ring and the outer ring but it doesn't hold for long and ends up looking as it does in the photo pretty quickly. I just try to compress it all and get it lined up before releasing it and letting the pressure from the foam expanding holding it in place.
Anyone else experience this? Any advice on how to better fix it for long term?

Does piano melody goes towards the right side of the headphone in the hd6xx?
I just received my hd6xx 2 days ago and I noticed that when I put on an piano sound track the piano sound more towards my right side, but it’s only the piano audio, vocals and other instrument seem to be normal, i don’t know if it’s because the headphone had so much details and that it supposed to be like this and I did not noticed it with my other headphones or my hd6xx is faulty.
I also noticed that the pin connector on the left side is easy to be disconnected and seem like it cant be pushed all the way in unlike the right side as shown in the images. Does this affect the audio or is it just in my head.
I have contacted support and they offer to me a new cable. Can someone please listen to a problem piano piece and see if the high notes goes towards the right side? I also flipped the headphone to make sure it’s not my ear, i also tested it with my other headphone and im getting the same affect, and im afraid it’s just placebo
vocals and other instrument is normal, just the some...

Looking for headphones for my PC setup
Hello!
I'm a novice when it comes to headphones, and I'm looking for a new pair for my PC setup. I live in the United States, and my budget is about 250$, though that's vague.
I don't have a ton of experience with audio equipment so I can't really point to specific preference about bass, treble, etc. That said, some deep bass is definitely appealing to do justice to fps/rts games that might feature big rumbly/boomy sfx. I also value good directionality for fps/tps and adjacent games (primarily warthunder). I won't be exclusively using these for gaming - also for music, so some versatility is welcome.
This set would be more or less exclusively for my PC setup, and I'm not worried about having to drive it on a phone or anything. Needing an amp/dac even on the pc isn't a dealbreaker, though. Between bluetooth and wired, I really don't care. I'm not that worried about audio latency with bluetooth, but I'm also not that worried about dealing with a wire.
A built in mic is a plus, but...

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price.
Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends,
I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and
to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response.
I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac.
Thanks and Cheers everybody.

Please suggest headphones for me.
Please someone here help buy a headphone for my use case-
listen mostly Indian music ( old and new Bollywood songs ) .
play them on my iPhone. So need to be wireless.
must be light and comfortable for small ears and 3-4 hours of listening.
noise canceling is not important.
budget is around $150.
i am not audiophile by any means and do not understand much of the jargon. Just want something that sounds good and is comfortable on my ears while I work from home.
thank you all.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode.
These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/
If anyone can help me that'd be great.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.

Price matching
I ordered the Dekoni Cobalt for $179 and the price dropped to $159 before they even arrived. Some retailers do price match reimbursements if an item goes on sale within a certain time frame after purchase. Does Drop do that?

Dac/Amp -> Boose TV Speaker ?
Is the TV Speaker bottle necked because it is intended for a digital signal? If so, how do I optimize it (preferably most effective appraoch) or should I just get new speakers for the same cost it would be to optimize this.
Context of Use: Desktop/TV/Gaming (Office Setup)
