Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Recommendations to Drop (THX AAA) In my recent experience, any amplifier based on the THX AAA technology quickly becomes best in class regardless of price (lots of good measurements with Audio Precision equipment on a particular site I can think of bear this out.) The Drop THX AAA™ 789 and Benchmark AHB2 are great examples. I would love to see Drop produce even more products based on this technology including, but not limited to:
Reference Equipment (compared to Drop Panda) I've listened to quite a few headphones and DAC/Amps over the years, and currently own/use the following:
Observations I have never owned any wireless headphones because I always found the sound quality unacceptably inferior and the battery life too short. I have experimented with FiiO MMCX cables compatible with the Shure SE535 and found both the sound quality and battery life to be unacceptable. Right from the start, the Drop Pandas produced sound that was clearly what I would consider Audiophile, and many levels above the sound quality of any other wireless headphone I've heard to date. I listened to the Pandas with:
- Tidal MQA sources from the provided iPads and Macbook pros
- 256k AAC Sources from my iPhone
- Tidal sources amplified through the provided Chord Mojo DAC/AMPs
- Tidal sources amplified through the provided by the provided Grace SDAC+THX AAA™ 789
The best sound was produced by the embedded DAC+THX AAA amp over bluetooth to the Drop Panda. When using outboard amplification, the sound was sometimes more detailed/bare (especially with the SDAC+THX AAA combo). I get the impression, though I did not get a chance to verify with the Drop staff on hand, that the Drop Pandas have some internal EQ to bring up the bass a little and normalize the response curve of the ribbon driver. I also think that the SDAC, though very good, may not be able to keep up with the high performance of the THX AAA 789. Though I have a Chord Mojo myself, I think its performance has been eclipsed by many better+cheaper DAC/Amps, including the excellent Topping DX3 Pro available from Drop. I would have recommended the DX3 Pro over the Mojo as I think it would have produced better results based on better measured performance. Comparison to very good wired headphones with very good amplification The only places I can fault the Drop Pandas in bass quality and extension (probably below 120Hz) and absolute resolution. In bass response, the ribbon driver may not have enough surface area to provide low distortion bass down to the lowest registers. In this area, the bass response is not as good as that of the excellent Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 or the Elear. In absolute resolution, the DAC+AMP+Circular ribbon loses out to headphones like the Elear (and Elex) and the Koss ESP-950 (and Drop Koss ESP/95x) when driven with a quality DAC (like the SU-8, Topping D70, or DX3 Pro) and a great amplifier (like the THX AAA 789). These are really nit-picks, though, because at $399, the Drop Pandas are much, much more affordable than any of the configurations mentioned above.
