Love the HD 6XX, but one problem ...
pity that they have smaller ear cups than the PC 360's I used before. Within an hour my ears start to hurt a bit. Shouldn't be the case with such expensive headphones imo, but that's how it is. Are there bigger replacement cushions for the HD 650/6XX? I Really like the sound of these headphones and that's the only thing holding me off from truly enjoying them.

I'm having the same problem with my newly purchased HD 6XX. They sound wonderful but the clamping force is a bit much for me, especially at the angle of my jaw. How does one "bend them slightly" without breaking them?

Dekoni has a drop for the 6xx pads atm.
The sound signature do change base on the pads you choose. Dekoni posted the requency response curve for each of the pads, even though it is for the HD600, still give you a general idea how they differ.

That would really put me off the Sennheiser 6 series if you couldn't use aftermarket earpads. About half the cartilage in my right ear is torn, so any pressure on that ear at all is excruciating. I have to use aftermarket pads. It's not an option. These are the ones I have on my monitors at the moment:

They're wedged to follow the contours of your head and keep the drivers parallel to your ear's pinnae. They're the only pads I've found that keep the drivers from touching my ear at all.

tom.benedictYou can, and I just learned there is even a drop for some pads, for quite a sum of money though. I would like to try those you suggest but I have no guarantee if they fit on the Sennheiser 6 series ...

I noticed this as well but for me the main issue was the clamping load. They feel like they are trying to squash my head.
There are different ear pads out there. There was even one of massdrop but it sold out fast.

Different earpads aren't really recommended for the sennheiser 6__ series, although I haven't tried any personally.

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.
