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.

Yup, that's May 8th, four months from now.
Preemptive Q/A:
Q: Shipping by May 8th, WTF?! Massdrop had tons of time between now and the previous drop to plan, what gives, why aren't these ready to ship like last time?
Short Answer: Great question! It's a really hard time of year to have things produced, this is the soonest we can promise a delivery date with confidence.
Long Answer: After the success of the first drop, we immediately reached out to Fostex to see when we could schedule the next drop. Sadly, it turns out that December and January are impossible months to find manufacturing capacity. Factories manage their staff the same way retail stores do. They have a manufacturing schedule (months of orders, placed many months in advance) they need to hit, and they staff accordingly.
After the Christmas manufacturing rush (August through November) is over, factories staff down, people go on vacation, etc. When the first drop finished and we reached out... nobody had capacity, staffing was down and the factories were only producing enough to meet their pre-defined plans.
Then there's Chinese New Year, which is essentially a mandatory two week vacation for all Chinese manufacturing employees, which ends with sizable factory turn over (new year, new job, decent link: http://www.thesourcingblog.com/effects-of-the-chinese-new-year-on-manufacturing-part-1/) and additional delays to production plans.
Believe me when I say, if we could have these delivered sooner, we would, and I'd replace my office chair with a Fostex based version of the Iron Throne, but alas, May 8th is the soonest we can promise, and even that's a bit of a risk (boat could hit a typhoon, get pirated, w/e).
Q: Alright that's a reasonable explanation, but why 1000 instead of 2000 or 5000!? You guys know it's going to sell out, look at the last drop, how are we supposed to get any?
A: We've capped the drop at 1000 units because that's how many are available to be produced, once they sell out, we'll take all possible steps to increase the available quantities. As mentioned above, production capacity is hard to secure right now.
Glad to answer any other questions, I'll be around this thread tonight and tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, tend to your posts and man the harpoons, we sail at dawn.

More details here, but I had them re-terminated with dual 3.5mm plugs (similar to the Sony Z7), and also had adaptors made with mini-XLR for my Audeze-style upgrade cables:

Contact Peterek (the guy who posted literally above me), he's the artist who modded 'em
Edit: Here's a picture of the mini-XLR to 3.5mm adaptor he made as well:
And hey, I was right, they're awesome, and love them even more with the removable mod and adaptors
