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...

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.

At least with regard to headphones, the BT offerings fall far below the quality of what can be had attached to cable.
DanielStein, with that thinking, buy the cheapest Bluetooth streaming device you can. Because the player is just restreaming the data; it's dac and analog section's quality does not factor into what you hear. So do don't waste money on it.
For example, While I'm training at the gym I use my pair of Jaybird bluebuds X headphones because the last time I used wired headphones, the wires got caught on a dumbbell or a barbell and destroyed them. Don't get me wrong, the jaybirds don't sound like a AU$160 (US$123.58) pair of earphones but for the purpose I use them for and the frequency of how often I use them, I don't regret buying them for those reasons alone.
I agree with you because the most impressed I've been with a pair of wired portable headphones that I've listened to are the Beyeredynamic T51P's and they have dual sided cables. The only issue I have with them are that the cables are probably the biggest let down but not because they're not Bluetooth- the cables are kind of thin and seem like the most vulnerable part of the headphone however for AU$295 (US$227.84) they hold a lot more value than the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless headphones despite the conveniences that I see of having bluetooth. I say that because despite the Sennheiser Momentum Bluetooth headphones currently on sale here in Australia for AU$551 (US$425.56) I am aware that for that price you're hitting into a stronger selection of competitively priced headphones that sound really good.
i guess what I'm trying to say is that the opinion of what people think of bluetooth headphones/devices are very subjective. Some people see them as being a huge convenience for the purposes that they are going to use them for but some can see it as being pointless and a waste of money but neither of those opinions are wrong.
