Modded headphones with qudelix at the core
When I received the Qudelix 5K, I had already modified a pair of Superlux HD-681 headphones. I previously soldered my own balanced connections to the drivers, providing multiple ways to connect and...

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

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.

I've had my ER-4XR for about a year, and I love them, but I am disappointed in the cable, for two reasons: 1. the cable begins super supple, but after 6 months of use, the twisted wire above the splitter starts to stiffen. I had to have the cable replaced under warranty already. 2. they REALLY need to release a smartphone cable (with mike and remote). Not having this drives me nuts. Ety has publicly stated that they're working on this, but it's been another year with nary a peep. :(
Innerfidelity (RIP), have a great write up on the ER4 variants and history (https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/25-years-making-good-thing-better-etymotic-er4sr-and-er4xr):
'In this latest iteration of the ER4, Etymotic is offering two tunings: The ER4SR (for studio reference) has what Etymotic considers an accurate response and is very much like the preceding ER4S. Read more at https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/25-years-making-good-thing-better-etymotic-er4sr-and-er4xr-page-2#gzU6gBkc6W8VYeQG.99 '
Have you listened to the ER4S or P to compare? I hope the sound of the SR is very similar, but I will have to wait for this drop round to compare directly with my trust 4s direct. . .
Regardless, I think the underlying theme here is that these Etymotic headphones are excellent.
I now have the ER4SR from the past drop to compare directly with the ER4S. They sound very, very close (thankfully!). I also have measurements from Etymotic for both to compare, although the old hand drawn ER4S is a bit tricky to read ;)
That said, I fully recommend investing in these new models, even if you own the originals. The new aluminum housing is very sturdy and more compact. With the cord wrapped back over ear, for me the cord self noise is almost entirely eliminated compared to the old housing (even with the shirt clip I don't like to use the old models much on the move because of the cord self noise).
