My order shipped on March 18th, but it looks likes it's coming from overseas, so it will take some time to actually arrive.

UnderTheHillI received my order today. The packaging itself is just the generic pelican case containing the IEMs, cables, and multiple sets of tips. No documentation included.
Off the bat, they sound much better than the Toneking T88K. The T88K sounded flat to me, while these are much more to my liking.
I wanted to compare these with my recently received BGVP DMG (which I have been using for 3 weeks as my daily commuter). For both, I used Comply Isolation T-200 tips with waxguard. I wanted to make sure I was using the same tips for both as tips can make a big difference. After listening to the same three songs on each, I would give the edge to the Crescent.
The DMG are excellent (using gold tips), and are definitely better than the T88K, but to my ears and my type of music, it doesn't match the Crescent. At the same time, the Crescents are 3x the price of the DMG, so is it 3x better than the DMG? Answer to that is absolutely not, which is a testament to how great the DMG are. I don't have the DM6, so can't compare the Crescents to that set.
One thing, the nozzles on the Crescents are huge, the Comply Isolation T-200 tips I have fit the DMG, the T88K, and UE900s without any issues, but it took a great deal of coaxing to get them on!
The shells of the T88K are bigger and heavier than the Crescent, T88K to my ears felt like CIEMs going in, but were more difficult pulling them out. The T88K I also has a hole in the shell for a vent, while the Crescent don't.
Finally, regarding the cable on the Cresecent, it doesn't have an adjustment piece to tighten up the cables closer to your head, which I was surprised as I like a tighter, neater fit of my cables.
Since I only got these about an hour ago, I'll use these as my daily commuters and see how they hold up as so far, every IEM that I have with Knowles drivers have failed on me and either needed to be replaced or returned for refund, which included the T88K that failed in it's third week of usage.

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.
