I got these a while back from an authorized dealer for $179, likely still available if you check the biggest online retailer. Said used like new but they were new in box, with the box having very minor dents (size of a grain of rice) in the corners. As for sound, exactly like the non NC MSR7. I've used them on 1 plane ride so far, the noise cancelling works great. It's not up to the best Sony/Bose NC but with its NC enabled it will cancel out enough engine noise to listen to your music or movie at moderate volume. I would rather have these due to the superior sound quality it delivers with or without NC on.

LTech221I agree they are definitely not in the same category of the Sony/Bose NC models, it is with good reason. These headphones were actually designed for Hi-Res audio. The noise cancelling circuit within the MSR7NC was designed to enhance the musicality by diminishing standard room noise as opposed to attenuating the drone of an aircraft engine. Problem is marketing wise what else conveys to remove background noise other than NC.
Noise-cancelling and venting technologies work together to maintain the Hi-Res Audio reproduction in both active and passive noise-cancelling modes.
It does work but, I agree with you we might need to look at another category like "Music Enhancing Noise Reduction" MENR?...
Glad to hear your Used Like New purchase went well. We constantly have to work to eliminate fraudulent cases and counterfeit merch off of the biggest online retailer.

poteetb1I actually really like the concept and don't have any big issues with the marketing. I'm curious though, is there anything stopping the MSR7NC's hardware from being able to go from music enhancing noise canceling to more extreme noise canceling? Bose, Sony, and others support tweaking ANC modes. It's weird that that isn't an option on the MSR7NCs... is it because that's just not possible with the way music enhancing NC is implemented?

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.
