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!!

Sound quality wise, I'm upgrading from an original set of Astro A40's, and for the purposes of this semi-review, that's what I'll be comparing to. These were purchased as gaming headphones, not audiophile headphones, but the audio quality is pretty damn good. I like a little bit more punch in the bass, but I can adjust that on the output side. The sound is fantastic. I also purchased the Console Cable from Sennheiser directly so I could use these with my Xbox One. Added bonus, I can use them with my phone now too! These are open back (or semi-open) so there is a lot of sound leak, but the soundstage is fantastic. I'm used to IEM's at work, so this is a whole different experience for me.
Sound Quality over the Astro's: These sound much nicer than my aging A40's, and as many hours as I've gamed comfortably in the A40's, these have already won me over in terms of fit and comfort. One thing I do like about the A40's though is the plate that you can put over the ear cups (with or without foam) to enhance/quiet the sound leak and isolate yourself a little more. That being said, with the PC37x on my head, I can BARELY hear my Cherry Blues on my keyboard in front of me. The more I'm listening to these, the more I'm appreciating the soundstage. It's so much more OPEN than I'm used to, it's both weird and wonderful.
Build Quality: I'm digging the build quality, but you can see a few areas that class this in the more budget range. The gap created by the ear cups and headband when you extend them has some kinda sharp edges to the plastic. Not so sharp that you'd cut yourself, but sharp enough to notice that they aren't rounded off. Is this a huge detraction? Nope. The mic mute function has a nice quiet 'click' when engaged/disengaged, and the mic boom itself feels sturdy and good quality. The volume wheel on the right cup is nice, it works well and there isn't any play or wiggle to it; that being said, it's very easy to turn. This might be intentional, so you can quickly mute or quiet the audio, but my druthers would be for a little more resistance.
The fit is super comfortable for my head. It's got a little tightness to it but it feels like it's going to wear-in a but, so I'm more than okay with how they feel. The ear pads are comfortable as can be. I don't have exceptionally wide ears but I'm tall and have proportionate body parts, so my ears might be larger than others. MDxS seem to have accounted for that; my ears do not touch the insides of the pads above, below or anywhere in between. The headband tension keeps them planted firmly where I want them with no slippage (yet, at least). adjusting them on the fly is a little more difficult than my A40's, but I shouldn't NEED to adjust them once I have them set up right. They stay exactly where they should.
The included cable is of nice build quality. I don't think there's much else to say. The Console Cable I bought separately is comparable (and MUCH shorter, which I wanted). Solid build, wrapped cord, sturdy feeling connectors. The Y split on the included cable seems pretty durable. The Y's themselves have a good amount of room, so I could actually plug the mic and headphone one into my SoundBlaster E5. I wasn't expecting that, so that's nice.
I'm basing all this on just an hour of listening to a couple genres of music, so... not at all their intended use. However, metal, electronica, classical, classic rock, jazz and blues all sound pretty great out of them. I watched a few youtube videos too, and again, I have nothing to complain about with sound. The highs hit right, the mids aren't muddy and while I like a bit more brain-shaking from my bass, theres still nothing to complain about. The deep bass that I'm used to sort of rattling my face is definitely not present though. This is a good thing when I'm gaming, but I'm definitely not going to be replacing my IEM's with these.
My first impressions are positive. I'm gonna hit the sticks a bit over the holiday and I'll report back if that changes.
Willing to answer questions if anyone has any.
