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.

Packaging/Delivery: First of all I was one of the first 500 People who ordered and when they got shipped about 6/28/2018 Massdrop shipped 58X with the wrong serial number (as I would have cared, I just wanted the Headphones) So I got a 10$ voucher for the next drop and one week delay in delivery since I live in germany. The Packaging itself is .... pragmatic but that's ok since I paid for soundquality, the Headphonecable has a native ⅛ Inch (3.5 mm) gold-plated connector and a 1/4 (6,3mm) Inch gold plated adapter for a cable length of 6 ft (1.8 m).
Comfort/Build Quality: I really like the pads and the clamping force isn't too much for me (thin head) I can wear this headphone for more than 2 hours straight before the headband gets uncomfortable. Otherwise I can wear it all day with 5 mins pause every 2 hours. It's plastic... let's see how long it lasts with proper care.
Sound (subjectiv and depending on equippment you use it to): Had it only connected to a Gustard A20H DAC/AMP which has a warm tone itself. The 58X Jubilee is an overall well rounded little brother of the HD 650 with slightly less resolution and more punchier harsher bass quite untypical for a Sennheiser in the HD series. The mids are accentuated (might be the Gustard) but soft. The highs are clearer than bass and mids so are vocals. If I hadn't payed 170€ with shipping and tax which is roughly 200$ it would have given 5 stars for the initially 150$ price tag.
let's get to the interesting part
Comparing 58X and ranking in different categories with Sennheiser Models that I heard:
Comfort: HD650 ->HD598->HD700->HD800S=HD800->PC373D->HD58X->PC161->PX200II
A worn out HD 650 is a damn comfortable thing. HD58X could also get more comfortable over time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution: HD800S=HD800->HD700->HD650->HD58X->HD598->PC373D->PC161->PX200II
HD800S and HD800 are so damn clear and analytical which isn't an advantage for all recordings, smooth @highres, harsh @lowres. HD58X has a good resolution vocals are crisp but is quite harsh especially in bass in comparison with HD650 and all models above. Outstander: HD700 is almost as clear as HD800/S.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soundstage: HD800->HD800S->HD598->HD700->HD650->HD58X->PC373D->PC161->PX200II
HD800 and HD800S have the widest soundstage I've heard on headphones. HD58X doesn't have a big soundstage but it's enough to be authentic. Outstander; HD598 has the widest sounding stage after HD800/S.
Forgivable with low quality recordings like a 128kbit mp3: PC161->PX200II->PC373D->HD598->HD58X->HD650->HD700->HD800S->HD800
The lower the quality of the headphones are, especially when they tend to have a warmer smoothening sound , the more it doesn't matter if you input high res recordings, surely there is a difference from a 128kbit mp3 to a flac and even DSD @ these budget headphones but not as much. The HD58X is best played between 192Kbit mp3 and flac quality. Outstander: PC161 all sounds smoothened and warmthened if these are even words.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoyability: HD650->HD598->HD58X->PC373D->HD800S->PC161->HD800->HD700->PX200II
When I compared my 58X, HD800S and a friends HD650 I was pleased with smoothness and enough clearness paired with nice worn out pads which were comfy as heck. Even though I wish there would exist a mix betweens HD800S resolution and the warmth of HD650 the HD58X is a nice comfortable Headphone with punchy bass, a warm tone in the mids, clear highs, a good soundstage and an enjoyable listening experience. Would I buy it again if it breaks and there's no guarantee left and I had to order it with all taxes and shipping cost? HELL NO but if you live in shppingfreecountryisland and you are an american citizen and you endured this review until now ... ORDER IT RIGHT NOW!
