So... How much?
Any reason why I should get this instead of Sony?

ridhuankimThe only current reason would be the THX AAA™ technology but, in my mind, even that may be suspect from an efficiency standpoint. Can this technology be implemented while providing a reasonable amount of battery life? Based on the battery performance of the portable headphone amplifier by Monoprice, it's a big question mark. That unit has a 4000MaH battery & the 10 or so hours it provides is not going to cut it in a wireless headphone.
To be honest, the more time that passes, the more my interest in this product wanes. I've been rethinking things & I now feel that buying a quality headphone designed for portable use & providing it with a portable bt receiver that can be clipped to the headphone just might be a better option. It makes the headphone obsolete proof & would only require the replacement of the receiver as technology improves. A bt receiver is also transferable to any iem or headphone. Having a separate bt receiver just makes sense to me...….
If the new Sony's come out before these, it might make sense to get them. Right now, these are kind of open ended. No price...… No timetable..... No specs...… No visual renderings..... No guarantee that they will be sota when released.....
I will say that I'm pretty happy with the sonic aspects of my XM3's. I do have some minor quibbles with them operationally, but most of them are software related issues that can be easily corrected. FTR, I've owned 4 bt over ear headphones over the years, 3 of which I still own. (One was given to a family member) I can't say that I've been disappointed with any of them as I understand them all. I will also say that I have a love/hate relationship with noise cancelling.

MaverickAHExactly what I am thinking.
I loved my qc25 and I bought a second hand few days ago.
It's portable and use AAA batteries(not AAA technology but I dig it) and has solid ANC and it sounds pretty good.
I can make it semi-wireless using Fiio BTR3.
I use Fiio BTR3 with my IEMs and they are just fine.

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.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
