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.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

However, prices may vary per country, for those who do get a better deal here on Massdrop a short description of the Zensor 1:
Small, nice looking, well built speaker. They look great when you remove the grille, especially the white version, with the little red woofer as a nice contrast.
Good speaker terminals, will take 4mm2 wire (although 2.5mm2 will be enough in most cases). You could use banana plugs if you want to, but some plugs may occasionally rattle at high volumes (when connected to the terminals), so I prefer just using the stripped wire. Minor issue, no big deal.
Very good sound quality. Amazingly well resolving tweeters for the price. Can be a bit bright at times on my old Cambridge Audio amp, but I like that, so it doesn't bother me too much. I heard them on an older Yamaha amp as well, and then the balance is a bit more even.
The mids are spot-on. Great vocal clarity, good resolution. With some material (piano, some vocals, sounds with a "hard" tone) there can be a slight hollow / reflective edge to the sound. That is perfectly normal in this price range, it might be due to the fact that the woofer baskets are stamped rather than cast (the latter being more expensive) and / or possibly Dali uses a bit more basic internal bracing / damping in their budget models.
The bass is amazing for the size of the cabinets. Tight, punchy, and reasonably well controlled. For bigger rooms, the Zensor 1's might fall a little short, but they can go reasonably deep when placed near a wall, only lacking subbass. If you want to move massive amounts of air, however, you need bigger speakers (you cannot change the laws of physics).
The Zensor 1's work with all kinds of music, but if you like a big orchestral sound or metal on high volumes, the Zensor 3 (or rather Zensor 5 or 7) is the better option.
They are quite efficient, my guess would be that they actually do a little better than the 86,5dB 1W/ 2,83V @6 Ohms nominal impedance that's on their website, they easily go very loud with my rather old 2x 60W RMS (@8 Ohms load) amp.
All in all, great little speakers, especially considering their modest price.
