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.

As for EDM, entirely depends on what you like. If you're a basshead these probably wont suit you as they provide a neutral sound overall with some slight warmness. Again, you'll need an amp for them to sound their best as they have a 300 ohm impedance.
And yes, I'm a basshead. I've heard that beats headphones come with the bass cranked up, but I've heard that they're not really worth their money.
I don't know much about headphones, thanks for your reply tho!
I work in IT in a corner office close to the servers, no one will mind :p
im a basshead and these cans hit hard.
If you want to learn more about headphones there are many YouTube videos and websites out there that offer lots of good resources. Headphones are very complex pieces of kit and there is a lot to them, I think you'll be amazed at how much stuff goes into them and how much of that you have to consider when choosing which pair to buy. And that's not even talking about DACs or amps!
Feel free to ask some more questions but I would urge you to start researching on your own as you will both enjoy that more and get answers quicker.
Shouldn't be hard to make one either.
A word of advice though: Don't think of cranked up bass as a positive. It will always result in something else getting muddled up and it usually means you'll just have the low fundamentals without any of the higher harmonics to give it detail. Don't sacrifice bass quality for bass quantity. The HD6xx will perform worse on the low end than some other open back cans even, but the bass that is there will be VERY textured and detailed. The reduced low end response will be hardly noticeable on any real instruments being played, but your electronically generated lows in EDM will not be reproduced. These are really geared more for classical, rock, and jazz.
My honest recommendation for someone looking for a good all arounder basshead can: AKG K267 Tiesto. Yes, an EDM DJ had a hand in their tuning/design, but they really are very neutral throughout the full audio range and the bass is exceptionally well extended, but not bloated. As a basshead they are my favorite headphones by far, and in my opinion the most underrated headphone on the planet. They were discontinued fairly recently but you can still find them new for somewhere shy of $200 if you look.
