Right ear keeps cutting out
So I have a PC38x headset that I bought a few years back. I moved away from home for work, and left the headset there with my gaming PC. I used it maybe 2 or 3 times before I left, and it always had the problem of it cutting out in my right ear phone. It makes like a crackling noise like something is loose, and then cuts out the audio entirely. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, but inevitably cuts out on the right side again. I am wondering if there is a fix? Or could I be shipped a new one?

Please suggest headphones for me.
Please someone here help buy a headphone for my use case- listen mostly Indian music ( old and new Bollywood songs ) . play them on my iPhone. So need to be wireless. must be light and comfortable for small ears and 3-4 hours of listening. noise canceling is not important. budget is around $150. i am not audiophile by any means and do not understand much of the jargon. Just want something that sounds good and is comfortable on my ears while I work from home. thank you all.

E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

There has been an ongoing lack of communication from Massdrop on many drops. Even though people keep asking for updates, there is little to no response from Massdrop. When I personally join a drop and it is shipping in less than say 2 months, I don't necessarily expect an update. But this drop ended in August 2017 and is supposed to ship on February 27, 2018; when a drop takes this long to ship I expect Massdrop to at least provide some updates as to how things are going. I don't think that is asking too much. We're waiting for 6 months so some communication should be provided.
If I remember correctly, I did receive a strange update about this drop on October 26, 2017. The update said the drop was on schedule and should be shipping in approximately 60 days. I thought that was great and would have meant a ship date of December 26, 2017. However, this update was apparently posted in the wrong drop as it disappeared not too long after it was posted. I haven't received any updates since then.
I realize Massdrop has a lot of drops in a number of categories, but most of them ship fairly quickly. These extended drops are the exception and I think there should be some communication from Massdrop to the purchasers when drops take this long to ship. Just my opinion.
I acutally think the MD site UI itself makes it pretty hard to surface or find updates, this business of editing/updating the first (or second or who knows) comment on the discussion section is pretty bush league... They should just have a separate section for quick updates without the obligation for further engagement, then whomever at MD is keeping tabs on the project can easily & quickly post info...
Kickstarter has an updates section right next to the community tab and it seems to work just fine, I think it's time MD adds something like that for drops with a long gestation. The email updates are too easily missed as well and probably requires more work on their end anyway.
Edit: FWIW and in fairness to Cee_Tee, he DID post a short update here about a week ago (or a week after your comment), but you'd never find it unless you expanded the entire thread under the first post and went digging for it... Like I said, MD can do better than that!
