Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I donât need thump but these are really light on lowsâŠbut the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Modded headphones with qudelix at the core

A decent set of IEMs

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.

I have multiple items from Schiit. Never a problem with any of them.
p.s. I am not married to a specific brand either. I just now have a gear-set that works for me and I know my gear very well, try to share with folks who are trying to make intelligent purchasing decisions.
How 'bout this; I'm a horse-farmin' dude....can you just put the entire horse on the doorstep? That's certainly a long-game revenge, as horses ain't cheap.
lol! I'm not too worried.
Dude, I just unboxed my Panasonic RP-HD10 I got from Amazon today. I am SO giddy, my ears are almost as teared up as my eyes. I've been yearning for festive-sounding cans like these for long, torturous years. What an exciting sound! Seriously, I'm so giddy now, I could cry a few tears of happiness.
What a lively sound out of my iPad Pro! No amp or DAC, and they sound punchy and lively! I can't believe it. I'm in a happy place right now. Even boring tracks I always skip sound more interesting through these! They have aural flaws, but those flaws contribute to their bright, cheery, detailed sound. Good God, thanks so much for giving us ears! đïžđđ
That being said, the 02, from my research, and I had an early one, is a really a shit-hot product. I would Highly recommend it. I have not heard the Schitt Magni 3 product though, which is the equivalent product. I also have had good luck with the SMSL products. They are built in china, and provide no service though.
Try to see trends in what you read, and most importantly what people say about the SOUND, not how the damn thing looks from with test equiqment hooked up to it, or why it should not theoretically work.
Excellent remarks! :)
Man...I'm blown away at how good they sound together. Without intending it, I'm hearing new things I never noticed before in my favorite tracks. Music sounds so...musical with this combo.
The Vali 2 presents everything almost in a holographic manner. I was not expecting that. I was like, "This thing will probably suck..." But upon first listen, man...I smiled! The RP-HD10 sound like open cans with it, and the SRH1840 sound like good speakers. It's weird to my brain.
Took me a while to adjust to the almost visual presentation. The Shures did not excite me, though. They have an almost boring sound like my Sennheiser HD 598 SE, but with less bass, better highs and more clarity...but still not sparkly enough for my preference. I'll probably keep them, because they sound smooth while being very revealing. It's such a weird-sounding headphone. I have buyer's remorse and at the same time I'm impressed even if they don't make me giddy.
