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...

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

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.

they are far from the best but, at 30, that would bump his value rating to a 10 i bet... 8.5 at the normal price you find htem for at amazon and the like.
give me an extra foot on the cord, metal shells and the option for a headset version i would gladly pay 20bucks more for that set... mass drop exclusive perhaps?
i have much more expensive sets like my hf5's, but these beat them in comfort, not in overall sound, but they are less fatiguing and never harsh even with poor mastering/encoding... very forgiving... part of why i love them for audio books...some of the cassette rips are horrific for the tape noise....
they beat the hf5's in comfort for sure.
with the pl50, the stock tips are meh to crap, for most people, but once thats sorted and you find tips that work for your ears, and eq them a bit, you really can get a good sound out of them, you wont get brain rattling bass but what you will get is alot of detail in the bass you do get vs any dynamic i have had in this price range..
the hf5's, if you dig around a bit, can be had on sale cheaper then the massdrop price by a bit, if you want something cheaper, the mc series are also considered to be quite good bang/buck entry into etymotics, the kids are even good if you got an amp(300ohm to prevent kids from harming their ears...but alot of adults on head-fi really like them as work/every day carry iem's)
one nice thing about etymotic is, you can trade in out of warr iem's for sizeable discounts on any set of iem's they make, when this set of hf5's dies, im going to get er4's to replace them via the upgrade program :)
Anyway, thanks for the detailed review! Appreciated :)
