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.

Unfortunately, these just don't seem to be quite durable from what I've experienced and read in a few reviews and comments on the Discussions tab. I never mistreated these or did anything strenuous with them. The only time they've been outdoors was to walk my dog. Anyways, one day when pulling the right one out of my ear the casing/housing separated at the seam. It was easy enough to just click it back into place but after that first separation, it became a regular occurrence. I'd be extra careful to pinch the IEM in my ear to remove it instead of pulling from the cable but eventually the seal or connection just got too weak. When I was brushing my teeth this morning (4/06/18), one of the pieces of plastic housing fell -- wait for it -- down my sink! So the piece of housing is gone for good so that's the end of my IEM's unfortunately. They do sound excellent though, they're extremely comfortable and the cable was great. I've even been able to listen to things in bed with my head against the pillow which is extremely rare for me. I would prefer a straight jack though so it's less awkward when holding your phone or music device. If you're okay with it, super glue them the first time they separate, if it actually happens to your pair.
Mine were delivered November 1, 2017 and the first time they actually 'broke' was around February. If they were like $30 I would still be quiet upset and disappointed with the build. I've had Apple Earpods from my original iPhone 6 that are still kicking despite being banged around, worn to the gym for years, washed in a pair of jeans, tangled and untangled, dropped, etc. so I definitely think the build needs a lot of work because like most new things, I was very careful with them. Maybe I'm extremely unlucky, either way it was a nice run but I do wish they were more durable and better built. The audio, comfort and accessories (two cables, silicone and foam tips, carrying case) punch way, way above the $59.99 price tag.
