Right ear keeps cutting out
So I have a PC38x headset that I bought a few years back. I moved away from home for work, and left the headset there with my gaming PC. I used it maybe 2 or 3 times before I left, and it always had the problem of it cutting out in my right ear phone. It makes like a crackling noise like something is loose, and then cuts out the audio entirely. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, but inevitably cuts out on the right side again. I am wondering if there is a fix? Or could I be shipped a new one?

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.

E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

Both are on the aggressive side of headphones. The treble tends to be the divider. I hate overly bright soundstages yet like love the DT-990s. I'd say the bass though without question, on the DT-990s is more detailed and richer for the focus on extreme low ends without over compensating lower mids like the HD-650s.
I'm in the minority but the DT-990s seem to have a cult around them, and I'm certainly a member. I don't like mixing on them as I tend to under mix things because of the liveliness but damn they are beautiful when it comes music and well suited to movies and games too.
The 650 definitely doesn't do extreme low end. That much is true. However, the 650 is far from "boomy" in any capacity when driven well in my experience. It's got a bit of bloom maybe, leaving a bit of syrupy sweetness to the lower mids, but no hollow slop with a slow decay that I've heard far too many times, which I associate with the term "boomy" when it comes to bass. And I wouldn't say that bloom is the result of overcompensation, rather a tuning decision that plenty of things (some of which I really like) don't do in the same way. The 650's bottom end sounds great when fed quite a few things in my experience. I still prefer the bottom end on the planar drivers I've heard, but that's a different animal entirely.
I wouldn't really consider the 650 to be terribly aggressive either. The forward (lower) mids do lend the sound a more personal presentation, but it's a pretty relaxed sound overall to my ears. I think the 650 is a bit too slow to really be what I would call aggressive. The 990 was described to me as somewhat V shaped, whereas the 650 is a lot more mid heavy, so I could see how that would sound overly forward if you like the V tilt (not sure how significant that V was supposed to be). I won't really say anything about detail having never heard the Beyers, but the Senns definitely are no slouch there.
Of course, all of this could just be coming down to vocabulary differences, and we could be saying the same things in different words. That's a consistent annoyance of describing sounds.
Plenty of people like the 990 (seems like more now than back when I was starting out... the 880 was king back then) and there is surely reason for it. I'm not trying to push the 650 as the perfect thing for everybody, or steer anyone away from a 990, but the descriptions of the 650 seemed weird given what I've heard out of a 650. Either way, Beyer makes some good stuff, Senn makes some good stuff, and both paths are likely to put something nice on your head.
