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!!

Those make these sound muddy.
The main difference you will hear is how much clearer sounding the K10 is. Instruments are much better separated with an overall more transparent sound. Soundstage of both are comparable but the K10 might sound deeper due to its extra clarity.
I'd say the Fibae has a thicker sounding midrange so some might like the warmer sound of the vocals. It's also darker compared to the K10 which sounds more extended and airy.
You may want to check out the JH13. It has the technical capability of the K10 but has a fun v tuning with more bass
K10u don't sound airy, nor neutral. They have significant bass, although less than Fibae ME, and more extended treble, but airy is not what I would say, they're still very slightly on the warm side when opposed to flat IEMs.
Fibae ME do not sound muddy, it's just that they have significantly boosted bass all the way from mid-bass to lower bass, but with very little bleed into the lower mids. What distinguishes them from K10u is how smooth mids and treble sound, but I don't find myself missing details due to this, unless you're listening classical music with extremely high pitched piano notes, where K10u extension helps a bit.
Different beasts if you ask me. If you're not after big bass, yes buy the K10u with no hesitation, they're a good deal at MD price. or Go to CustomArt website and order Fibae 3, you'll save money and get something similar to K10u. These Fibae ME are here to cater the bass lover crowd, and they do it wonderfully without the usual hashness in treble that comes with a lot of cheaper BA-based IEMs.
When I demo gear, I use varied music with equal amounts of music with and without people singing. I do notice that instrumental music like movie soundtracks are more demanding of the gear and some aspects of music like micro detailing capability are better assessed with these kinds of tracks. It's not as obvious with conventional tracks so that's why my comparisons may seem a bit exaggerated.
