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...

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.

The sound is much improved as already stated by many others, everything that is great about these headphones is just tighter, cleaner and well adjusted.
The Process takes about 10 minutes and isn't difficult at all, just twist and remove your ear pads, Remove 4 x tiny screws and get working on the pieces of the kit ensuring a snug fit and seal around the driver.
I wanted to keep these as close to their " Fostex " sound as possible as I love the Bass response and W / V curve in these.
If you're like me, you probably have a set for every occasion and purpose so i'll list my other sets below for reference.
ATH-MSR7 - My travel headphones, Great V shaped all rounders that look great and are comfy enough to take around wherever you go " good at everything, great at nothing ".
Vmoda Crossfade 2 wireless- My Training Headset, Bulletproof, good sound, Punchy bass and overall quality sound with decent battery life when running or training.
AKG-702 - My gaming headset, huge soundstage, very very comfortable and analytical " I've also fallen asleep with these on ".
HD-650 - Listening to Rock music with an analytical yet warm feel.
Fostex - X00 PH - Fun, great looking, but not practical. Anything and everything sounds good... maybe not jazz.... but I don't listen to Jazz anyway.
Changing the pads from angled leather to Hybrid velour has improved the overall sound for me.
How long has it been since you modded them? Would love an update with your impressions after some time with the tune up mods!
I've had them in for a couple of weeks with the ZMF Ori pads and it's a much better experience while maintaining the stock Fostex sound.
I've tried them with the stock pads and also the cup dampening and for me, the cup dampening kills off some low end and the ZMF pads push the low end slightly further back.
The best overall sound to comfort experience for me is the PH's with driver only dampening and some slightly thicker pads which make basically anything enjoyable in my opinion.
Hope that helps !
Enjoy the music!
