Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Modded headphones with qudelix at the core

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.

We're very excited to bring you the AKG K7XX, a co-branded product between AKG and Massdrop. It's a little bit different than usual, as we're unveiling the drop page before the headphone is actually being offered on the site so that members can read up on and learn about the K7XX.
We've sent units to quite a few reviewers, and I'll be updating this post with links as they come.

Q: Is the serial number I receive dependent on when I joined the drop? A: Units 1-10 were reserved for reviewers. The quickest 250 members to purchase the headphone are guaranteed to receive a serial # within the first 300 serialized numbers. After the first 250, it's a random grab bag from there on out.
I'm not associated with MassDrop.
I've read others have this problem with rattling or vibrations out of one earcup. You can do a search online on the forums for more data. Though basically they are claiming if you take off the ear foam you can lightly bend or loosen the plastic covering over the driver, this gives the drivers diaphragm more room to move about. It may have been bent or a bit too tight/loose before to produce accurate bass/sub-bass.

and here-- https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/37ktz0/i_fixed_my_k7xxs_rattle/
I hope you can either fix your issue carefully yourself --if you don't want to wait for shipping-- or warranty service gets back to you soon.
Best luck!
-Cheers!
Hey eveyone,remanber me? I'm the man who said I bought a AKG K7xx with rattle in the left ear. you know when I put the left earcup up to left ear and I was shocked. As you see in the picture where I marked with red square, you can see a copper wire through the left ear, I think that's the reason whick makes the rattle.
I write to massdrop third times and they never write back.
WE KNOW THE AKG K7XX IS REALY CHEAP, BUT CHEAP MEANS BAD QUALITY CONTORL?
IF YOU BUY A AKG K7XX, DO YOU WANT TO GET THE SAME ONE JUST LIKE ME?
If you check the functional, non rattling side, it will be the same.
Have you had any luck with plugging in the headset, playing something that makes it vibrate and gently pulling on the casing covering to see if it may just be touching the driver?
