Headfonics review of the Cleer Flow II
https://headfonics.com/cleer-flow-ii-anc-headphones-review/
"The Cleer Flow II is what I would call the next level up from budget ANC headphones such as the MPOW and Strauss & Wagner variants we compared it with. Certainly, in terms of overall aesthetics, materials, packaging, and accessories it merits its higher price point."

Marcus22687Perhaps, but the sound on one that I purchased from Amazon didn't really blow me away, aside from having a defective speaker less than a week later that totally soured me on the brand. Quickly returned it for a refund and purchased the more expensive and much better sounding Bose Quiet Comfort, which is what I should have done the first time.

Skyblue314The price point would tend to be more of an apples to oranges comparison especially depending on when you purchased the Flow II's and then your QC35II's. This review just hit on April 30th and it's pretty good. https://www.soundphilereview.com/reviews/cleer-flow-ii-review-12933/

Yes, I tested the Bose mid-2019 but couldn't bring myself to pay that much for a pair of headphones, so I purchased the Cleer in December of that year as a Christmas gift to myself after reading how much of a value they were compared to Bose, Master & Dynamic or Bang & Olufsen, which were the other headphones on my list. The sound and build quality was underwhelming to say the least, but that was something that I was willing to live with considering the savings. The defective speaker, however, was the last straw. I'm just happy that it failed before the window to return had closed, or it would have just ended up in the garbage. I've had better performance from my cheap $30 KOSS KPH30I and $10 Panasonic RPHJE120K ErgoFit earbuds. I eventually bit the bullet and replaced the Flows with the Quiet Comfort, and am very happy that I did. To each his own, I guess. All I can say is that to my ears, I wasn't that impressed. That's the trouble with not being able to personally demo the unit and just relying on someone else's opinion. His perception may be entirely different than yours....

Skyblue314That's unfortunate. I run global sales for Cleer and would have loved the chance to earn back your business but I don't believe you contacted us through our customer service team as I would have known about it. Our failure rate % is extremely low and this is something that we pride ourselves on. Do problems pass through QC, unfortunately sometimes, they do, but it's how our company resolves that issue that shows our customers what we're made of as an entity. We're a startup company that tried launching just prior to the pandemic so growth online as a brand in the mid-tier price range on ecommerce sites when brick and mortar locations are shut down, is quite the challenge, I can tell you. Cleer Audio is a group of audio enthusiasts who have worked in massive A/V companies in this industry who came together in San Diego to make a darn good product at a fair price and do not want any customer to walk away from us feeling that our product is substandard. I hope we can earn your future business as your comments above do not represent what we're about. Personally, our sound signature leans more towards a flat response which is where my ears like the music to end up. But as you say, what one person likes, another may not. Some love the warmth in a Klipsch speaker where in others, the horn tweeters tear their eardrums apart. It's just funny that way. Thanks for your candor and I as I said, I hope we can earn your business again. Cheers and be well!

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.
