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.

And head-fi:s moewdawg140 has this to say about them as well. http://www.head-fi.org/products/fostex-th-x00-massdrop-exclusive/reviews/14608
You send a unit to this guy for review? You're serious? Don't care whether he likes the headphones or not, but i) the review is crap - the video is literally motion sickness induxing and ii) he has no idea what he talks about... "I though they changed the wood because they ran out of the light wood, but apparently each of the phone have different sound signature depending on the wood"
You must be out of your mind...
He is a lot like me. to give a good comparison I would compair him and me as a wine lover but not eduacated sommelier, I guess this goes for 90% of the people shopping here and also the reason why his review affects so much. But I do love to watch his reveiws.
Personally, I think having multiple opinions like that is perfectly fine, and actually exactly what I expect out of reviewers - opinions. How 'accurate' or relatable for you these opinions are personally will always depend on the reviewer in question, as well as how well your tastes match, which is something you have to figure out for each of them because perception and preferences are quite different.
For example, I have quite sensitive ears regarding certain types of treble, which'll come out when you ask me what I think on V-shaped headphones, since most of them are more fatiguing to me than others for daily use, due to them slightly exaggerating background static and S-sounds, which in turn I am more sensitive to. Similar things obviously apply to when or whether people perceive a signature as natural, neutral etc., not to mention that many older reviewers might've had quite a wild teenage life with discos and all, further making them have quite a different perception and focus on sound than I would, for example.
tl;dr Z is a guy with an opinion and preferences, as is everyone. While I wish he'd talk more about sound, I actually really appreciate that he goes more in-depth with build and feel, so that's something I've been missing with others. Tagging on like two to three minutes for FR curve interpretations or a more elaborate perception on strengths and weaknesses wouldn't hurt, but it's not a complete dealbreaker, because again, it's an impression and opinion piece.
