It appears the reviews on these 'phones are somewhat uneven. I reviewed the most critical 2021 reviews of this product. (a) inconsistent build quality. (b) dead drivers. (c) small cups. QUESTION - for the novelty aspect, is their sound significantly different from an HD6xx? I have a variety of high/low powered headlamps... Lemme know, eh.

ScubaManLakeHuronI can say the build quality is identical to the HE4xx. I've had no issues. The cups aren't small unless you have enormous ears. I can't speak to the sound difference to 6xx's, but I will say that all planars have a uniqueness to their sound. The way they generate that sub bass doesn't really "hit" like a dynamic driver, it just kinda "snaps" in and out.
Honestly, get them. These things are just unbelievable for the money. The sound differences between them and the 4xx are microscopic (not necessarily better or worse, a hair less treble detail, a hair more bass extension) and every other detail in the build and design is the same.

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.
