Hello @Drop Do you really want to associate yourself with people who refer to others as "dickhead" ?

And tell to others to "die"?

nope1Agree but let's leave out the personal attacks. Just because someone falls that low doesn't mean we need to do the same here. Certain types of drama are ok and justified, others are not.

nope1DMS is literally an audio engineer, how is that no technical background? He explained his reasoning for thinking the tape was the only change and that reasoning still makes sense.

nope1Went to the thread and wow--seems like a bunch of pretty angry people over there. Shouldn't they be happy that they've got their preference tuning picked? Lash out to DMS & crin because they didn't like their tuning? Why we have these people tuning the 8XX again?

yogiwpSBAF a super toxic close minded fourm. Prepare to be blasted to shred if you disagree with their core member's belief. They don't just provide valid reason but attack your character as shown in the screenshots above

nope1Frankly if Purr1n being Purr1n surprises you, you haven't done your research. He also has audio Bias.

FayneYou're a dickhead. Holy cow, it's true!

yogiwpIt's an absolute delight to see the defacto home of audio subjectivity get their panties all knotted up because people subjectively think their tuning advice is trash. The fact they took this turd on one of the most celebrated headphones while costing Drop upward of 20% of their initial order... delicious.

GiantHeadphoneSquidZomg. Someone said it on the Internets, so it must be true. I do find it hifuckinglarious that people are getting their panties in a twixt over things said on a different site.

FayneSame as how a person can get fire from their job if a video of them acting like a "karen" or a racist rant surface. Maybe because it gives off a bad image of the company? Purr1n was involved in the tuning of the 8xx so yes, him going on a rant and calling people dickhead does give off a bad image.

Sep 20, 2021

DYC1Wildly different actions and situations. If I was termed for calling someone a dickhead outside of work, I’d likely win a wrongful termination lawsuit. All y’all can straight fuck off if you think someone calling someone else a dick is a big bad evil thing. What are you all, like 5 fucking years old and tattling to the kindergarten teacher? You’re just as bad as the Karens screaming at people. All I see is a bunch of kids QQing because big meanie purr1n called someone a very mildly bad name. Personally I don’t give two rats asses if he (or anyone else for that matter) wants to use their first amendment rights to speak their mind, even if is a bit rude. Even if the Drop management does flip their shit, what are they going to do? Not send him preview copies of their cans? Oh noes.

FayneWhat about telling someone to 'Fuckoff and die'? Is it 'very mildly bad' to wish DEATH on someone over headphones?

Sep 20, 2021

GiantHeadphoneSquidYou haven't been on the internets terribly long, have you? I guess vernacular has been going through some rather rapid changes, especially with all of these snowflakes who take everything anyone says on the internet as a personal affront. I mean, I'm not terribly surprised from the generations who got prizes for losing, but It sure saddens me that something so absolutely simple like this draws all of the Karens. I mean, personally I prefer the succinct "piss off scrub", but sometimes it is nice to have the finality of "fuck off and die". Or better yet "fuck off and die in a car fire". Who cares in the end? You hear far worse in TV shows, movies, and modern music. It isn't like they explicitly threatened to ded the target of the insult. It isn't like they raped a puppy, kicked a kitten, or spewed racist bullshit (or all of the other things that *should* trigger people). The fact that people are gloming onto this and freaking out is really telling. Is the problem with the person who said it, with Drop because they made changes to a headphone that nobody other than a few lucky people have had the luck of trying, or are we really dealing with deep seated repressed oedipal complexes? I'm guessing the latter. Either way, this is where I get to shout "GET AWF MAH LAWN!" because I'm old enough to remember the internets before just anyone could get online with ease, and especially before everyone would latch onto something stupid and blow it out of size. P.S. I preordered my 8XX within the first 3 minutes that it was for sale. And you know what? I'm not flipping out over the changes, and I'm sure as hell not cancelling. It absolutely can't be any worse than the shit-show called the HD820 is.

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!!
