Repair or Upgrade He4xx?
Hello there!
tldr: he4xx kinda fell apart and I’m deciding if I should fix them (headband, rattle, ear pads) or upgrade to something with better build quality and a better planar experience?
I got He4xx’s a couple years back and had some rattling and the pads were coming unglued. I ended up going back to my hd6xxs, which I adore. I recently wanted to get back into planar. I pulled them back out and really enjoy them (although initially something sounds off). I was going to get replacement pads and realize the head parts is shedding everywhere. Is it worth investing in repairing these with a new headband and pads, while seeing if I can fix the rattle, or should I just upgrade. If I upgrade I would probably want a plane around 500 or less. Is there a recommendation? I was looking at the dc aeon x or the edition xs (although I’ve seen those might not be comfortable. Is there any suggestions for how to proceed?
I appreciate you taking the time!

The He4xx is actually a pretty nice headphone. I never liked how the original headband felt on my head but, a trip to my favorite chinese App, (the one that is express) changed all that. $20 for a new headband, $8 for some nice earpads, and $23 for a cable. (Cable was just personal preference as well) now they are super comfy, better built and I like the sound of these earpads better personally. Hope this helps.

ToyForTheGodsThanks so much! It's great to hear your success story! Did you have to drill the holes in the headphone to make it fit the replacement, or could you just screw it in? Also, is it the headband for the 560 v2? I'll definitely try it!

Why haven't I received a shipping code or response from customer service for my order in over 3 weeks?
Hello, I apologize for using the community to post a customer service ticket essentially, but I haven't gotten any update from this website for my FIRST ORDER regarding some headphones I ordered. Essentially, my partner ordered me some gaming headphones ( Drop + EPOS PC38X) a few weeks ago. I have an attached screenshot of the confirmation code on this post. Normally I'd expect a shipping code to be provided, at most, a week later, but I decided to give this website a little bit more patience because to begin with, my girlfriend was skeptical, but after reading some posts on Reddit recommending this site, I convinced her it wasn't a scam. 3 weeks later, lo and behold, we still have not gotten any kind of shipping update. I am just wondering, on average, how long it takes for an order to get to the buyer here. I have ordered from websites like Shien and etc, so I am not really stressing anything, but considering the fact that I sent customer support an e-mail 10 days ago and...

Help: MASSDROP X SENNHEISER PC37X GAMING HEADSET Cable Replacement
My headjack that connects the headphone to the mic and headset end (green and red) is broken, what do I need to buy to get it replaced? The single port end seems shorter than 3.5mm and is smaller than the port of the mic and headset end. May I know what size to if I necessarily need the exact same one that connects mic and headset or I can just get a single port to single port end? Would I need to completely replace the headset? Also I'm currently residing in Malaysia where ebay and amazon isn't available and I can't seem to find anywhere else that sells it. Is there anyone that can link me to the item that ships to Malaysia?

PC38x vs HD58x Earcup size/dimensions
Hi I am new to the community. Just want to know about these two ear cup dimensions. I am a previous owner of HD58x. Wonder if they share the same ear cup size or maybe HD58x is much bigger? Thanks!

Headphone/Amp setup for music creation?
I am looking for recommendations on a good headphone/amp setup for music creation. My son is making music on his pc and has just been using his gaming headphones. I want to get him a better setup. Budget is in the $200 - $400 range total. I personally like Sennheiser but I don't think he has any prefrences. The music is a mix of electronica, dubstep, and video game music. It seems very light on bass to me for dubstep, but hey, to each their own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJD1_KNeEhI this is one of his videos for reference. Thanks in advance for the help
