Pretty great set of wireless IEMs for the price
Let me preface this by saying that while I consider myself someone who enjoys trying out different audio equipment and finding things that I like, I am far from technical enough with it to call myself a true audiophile. That being said, hopefully you'll find a review from someone from the middle of that spectrum a bit useful.
So, first things first. In agreement with some of the other reviews here, it can be a bit of a pain to fiddle with the ear tips and find a good fit for you. After trying all of them, I settled on the medium bi-flange tips. After finding the right way to settle them into my ears, they are comfortable, provide pretty good isolation (I couldn't hear my fiance speaking to me while I had some light music going at all), and sound pretty good. Definitely agree that making the entire surface the control, while a good LOOKING design, isn't that practical if you're struggling to find a good fit. Playing/pausing, changing tracks, and changing volume can also mess with the fit that you've managed to get. I've found that using my pointer finger to brace it while pressing the bud with my thumb is the best way to negate this.
Second, the soundstage is certainly limited compared to other options (even, to my ears, my Airpods). That being said, the primary reason I was interested in pursuing these was that Airpods just don't stay set in my ears and I end up with a lot more noise pollution than I like (which is...well, none). I will be interested to see how this changes as I burn them in, but judging from other reviews here, I'm not super optimistic. That being said, I am noticing details in sounds of songs I listen to regularly that I miss on other headphones that I use, which is certainly a good sign for IEMs.
I have not run into any issues with getting the buds linked with each other or synced with my iPhone X, which is by FAR the biggest complaint I've seen on other Bluetooth buds I've looked at that weren't Airpods. These sync quickly and without any sort of difficulty straight out of the box, so I admit that I'm a little confused at what problems others could be running into with this. It's also difficult to believe that anyone would find fault with the volume of these buds unless they ended up with a lemon...they are pretty darn loud. I'm typing this review with them running at about 50% volume from my iPhone and I normally listen to my music on the louder side.
This is a minor complaint, but unlike some others, I'm not a real huge fan of the coating on the case. It reminds me of holding something covered in very fine grade sandpaper, which for some reason gives me a bit of a cringe feeling akin to nails on chalkboard. Still, not that big a deal and more just of a personal thing.
Overall, very strong IEM buds for the price paid. Considering the competition, if you want wireless, I'd say these are definitely worth it. If you can live with wires, well... it probably goes without saying that you'll find better sounding, more feature-rich buds out there.

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!!

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.
