What's the difference between this and the YUMI?

carreragtYUMI is a bit "warmer" sounding, more pronounced midrange and smoother high end. The YUMI's are a bit more realistic sounding when listening to live instruments due to its more accurate tweeters. YU5's work well as desktop / nearfield speakers since they have a more relaxed midrange whereas I think the YUMI's excel in a two-channel audio / home theatre situation. Other than that they have similar features with the YU5 getting louder due to it's higher power class-D amp.

KantoLivingHmm, my expected usage will be movies/TV/music in a small room, to improve on TV speakers. Music tastes are jazz, classic rock and country - sounds like a Yumi is more my speed. Gonna bring one of those out to Mass? ;)

airforceteacherI can't say for sure what we'll be bringing to Massdrop, I am but a lowly customer service rep that spends too much time on the internet.

KantoLivingYou had previously compared the YUMI's to the YU5, saying that the YUMI's have "smoother high end" that is "more realistic sounding when listening to live instruments due to its more accurate tweeters". Do both systems feature the same 1" silk dome tweeter - just tuned differently? Do the models' different amps, woofers, and DSP contribute to their sound differences? Could you please explain? Thanks.

mattrisDifferent tweeter, driver, and amp type all contribute to this difference in sound signature between YUMI and YU5.

KantoLivingCould you tell me what you mean by the YUMI's having "smoother high end", "more realistic sounding", " more accurate tweeters"?

carreragtNot sure how to clarify this more but I'll try. The YUMI has nicer sounding tweeters (in my opinion) than the YU5 which means the high end is more smooth and natural sounding. The tweeters on the YU5 sound brighter (to me) which means the high end is more pronounced and less detailed.

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.
