FOR THOSE UNDERWHELMED BY SOUND TRY BLUETOOTH?
So I've had these for a few months now and it fits the tight space but I too was very disappointed in its acoustic performance; it sounded thin and totally lacking in the lows.
I remembered reading that the product performs best with the 3.5mm connection so I stuck with it. Before posting a 2 star review I thought it would be fair to try BT and the speaker came to life. I didn't think much of the larger passive radiators just not contributing at all in 3.5mm mode (just thought wow its reaaaally passive..) but in BT mode the speaker works as it should with the radiators functioning. Further testing, switching between 2.0 and 2.1 does not seem to change the sound much leading me to think somewhere in the chain its cutting off lows? I am investigating if it is my PC (heard not nice things about realtek alc4080) in the meantime I wanted to reach out if I am alone in this issue since I see many poor reviews citing poor sound. When working, I don't think the sound is lacking for $99 at all.

PC38X sound leakage into mic
Recently purchased the mic for the PS5 and I am receding gameplay sound leakage into the mic and was curious if there is a way to fix this without having to lower my mic volume and sacrifice audio

Best reasonably priced desktop DAC/AMP combo
I currently use the HD 58X with the 7HZ 71 portable AMP/DAC. It works but I don't know how close to it's full potential. For some songs (rarely) the song sounds OK with the volume set to 40%, but usually 60% is the sweet spot (but sometimes, I need to crank it up even more, especially with metal songs). My friend who has the same headset, he has them connected directly to the motherboard. It's probably because he has a high-end mobo that the audio sounded better directly off his mobo (20% was enough to play most songs OK). As I said in the title, I want a DAC/AMP combo because I want it to take less space and usually from what I saw online, they are cheaper than separate (but if we have anything good, worthy of going split, then why not). I plan in the future to get more premium headphones like the HD 8XX/800S/820 series (or a planar magnetic of the same price range). They say that you don't see much difference (like less distortion and more power being delivered to each driver)...

Why does Drop think it's ok to not honor warranty claims?
Bought the PC38X in Dec 2021. Stated on the item - and still on the product page - that they have a 2 year warranty. For the last 2 weeks the balance is not working anymore, and the sound ends up in just the R side or L side of both. It especially happens when I adjust the volume knob. I tried different cables and devices, same problem. The Drop rep so far has tried to lie to me several times, saying that: 1) I should try things I already mentioned I tried (they never read my first e-mail carefully) 2) That they're not in warranty anymore (bold lie, as per the website, and they confirmed the order date is within 2 years) 3) That they're in warranty, but no stock is available, so would I accept a $20 Drop credit instead (again a bold lie, they're available and IN STOCK on the website) Why does Drop think it's ok to blatantly not honour warranty on a defective product, and why is it ok to make-up random excuses every step of the way?

Now, my problem is that most people doing similar projects are pretty esoteric, and many articles are written in a way where the easy steps (opening the console) are explained in detail and the harder ones (eg. replacing the cinch connectors) are not. So I'm not sure which modifications are helpful and which just increase the danger of me breaking something.
My main questions are:
- Does modifying the PSU make sense when I already have the metal slid on the reading-head?
- Or will it really make a difference to put it into its own enclosure?
- Does replacing the six resistors right below the sound processing chip and removing the BIOS modchip (was pre-installed when I got it) improve audio or just destroy the potential of gaming on it?
- Is there a good affordable manufacturer for female cinch connectors? I only found "high end" cheapo ones
I'm looking forward to discussing some of these (and maybe more) points and if anyone is interested I'll post some photos/impressions when I'm done with the cosmetic and non-cosmetic changes.
