Hi all,
I just received my E-MU Teacs today and some things seem a bit off with the pair I got... :(
First off, the pads were installed the wrong way (right pad on left cup). I then noticed that my pads actually look different from every photo of the headphones I could find online: the seams are at the bottom (close to the cables), and not on the front side as in the pictures (and also on the stock pads of my very similarly built TH-X00). The L/R interior inscriptions of the pads seem to be hit or miss in the online photos; they're not there in the Drop images, but mine -- and apparently some other people -- have them.
Also, the cable connector seems to be way different than in the description pics.
Are all these differences just because of a different revision, or should I suspect my order was somehow tampered with? The wrong pad installation (and seam location) got me worried...

kzampogHello, I realize this is like wayyyyyyy late of a reply but I wonder if you've sorted this out yet.
The pads seems to be the correct orientation / direction. Only thing to keep in mind is that typically Fostex headphones use protein leather pads and people complain "why is it not leather". So E-Mu updated the later version to leather pads. Which seems to be made by a different company since Fostex don't typically make leather pads. Which might explain the seam difference but which should be fine, you can rotate it lightly to line up the bottom to the cord.
As for the connector, that I'm not too sure. It does look different than the cable connection that I had. You could always e-mail E-Mu to be sure.
Their e-mail is enquiry@emu.com.
Hope you sort this out!

kzampogHi, did you get any response from Drop or E-MU? I have the same black connector on my Teaks, same 1/4 adapter, also have the L/R inscriptions inside of the pads, my pads look very similar to what I see on your photos, except that I have the seams in the front. Bought the Teaks on Drop in May 2022.

Apologies for the long reply delay!
I contacted Drop soon I had posted here, and they were able to send me a replacement. The new unit was identical to my first one in every way, except that it had the pads installed correctly :)

kzampoglol I was going to say if the pad was installed the wrong way it's easy to fix yourself. But glad to know Drop fixed it for you!

HydeI know, I was just a bit skeptical because of the other differences I noticed (which are presumably normal), and since Drop offered to send me a replacement, I took it for my peace of mind :)

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!!
