I would like to preface this review by saying that I'm still fairly new to audio, but I'm learning more everyday as i expand my horizons. I have played around with Sennheiser HD 6XX, Hifiman HE4XX, and these AKG K7XX all run off of either a Massdrop O2, or the Calvalli Tube Hybrid. With comparisons with the other two the K7XX definitely has way more sound stage than the other two i listed, which makes it great for gaming IMO. I believe it I is also superior in fit and feel as it has the least amount of clamping force of the three and with the excellent pads it makes for a very comfortable gaming experience. The only reason i took a star off however is due to the squeakiness of the headphone cups when they arrived. At first they were almost unusable for me due to the squeak, but i resolved this issue by continuously running a number 2 pencil around the seam of the cups. I did this for about 30 minutes on each side. I layered on the graphite all around the seam and worked it into the cups by flexing them repeatedly until the squeaking stopped completely. It was a pain to do so i assure you but it was well worth the effort IMO because they are a very good pair of cans they just need to be worn in either through use(if you can stand to do that) or through an artificial means like i did. FYI: graphite lubricant probably would also work, but i think it would be a huge mess and might ruin the pads or the drivers so I think that a graphite pencil is the best option to not apply more than you need and to apply it only to the places that need it the most.
TLDR: if your K7XX squeak to much out of the box apply graphite to the seam using a number 2 pencil. It is well worth the effort IMO.

cell201135Amazon has very nice ear pads in a variety of materials and thicknesses with over 20,000 5 star reviews specifically saying they used them for these headphones as well as the several others you mentioned. (I'm not extremely knowledgeable about every little thing about all the different headsets, but as an avid gamer and music listener I can def vouch that spending an extra $15-25 for a new set can completely change your opinion on any type. After buying a new set of ear pads for my Hyperx Cloud 2 they are like using a $200 + pair

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 don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but 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!!
