MichaelTJust a great set of IEM's. Now that I have them fully stretched out, they are my most versatile headphone I own. Because of their neutrality and great design they can be EQ'd to pretty much any sound signature you want without distortion, bloating, or sibilance. I can't say enough great things about Vibro's products.

I think what The Earphone offers in terms of pure performance is amazing ... not just at this price point. Neutral with just the right amount of "fun", this is a really well balanced design and definitely would make a great "drop"!

They look very interesting...
A couple questions:
How good is the isolation? Would they work well for long flights?
Are they comfortable exercising, walking, etc.?
Does the sound ever seem exhausting?

I actually own the Lyra 2. That is a great IEM but it lacks overall clarity compared to the Earphone. Yet, inherently, you'll not get as large a bottom end in the Earphone due to the BA setup. For me, I prefer the clarity and so I find myself going to Vibro's product over CA's.

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

Are the screen white or black...I think white but want to be sure before ordering.

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?

Please feel free to comment. Let me know if this is interesting or you think I'm just full of cowpie. I would love to see Earphone offered on Massdrop to get it out to the audiophile community as much as possible. I think it's a phenomenal product and would recommend it highly given the modest price point and above-par sound signature.
Cheers!
