Hifiman 400i. Without a doubt the best headphone for its price right now. Planar speed and detail, incredibly smooth frequency response, measures great, sounds great. Lacks a little soundstage but its pretty ubiquitously a step above Senn 650, which is above 58x

6xx with tube amp or 4xx with solid state amp. I find the 6xx's to be more accurate and 'audiophile' quality. The 4xx's have fuller sound and Ifind them to be more fun.

To my ear AKG is accurate too. I hv only heard 612, which is not bad and perhaps better then m40x.
Then 712 which sound nice at high freq, perhaps even nicer then m70x.

williamleeI bought my K7XX in May 2015 from here. After that, in the same year, I got my K712pro at USD$260 (brand new, including shipping) and sold my K7XX away

I hv 2 stax and grado RS2 but now I love my audio technica ath m70x. To me it is very accurate and electrostatic like sounding of transparency. Of course it will reveal if your source is grainy too.
Be careful after a year of use the headphone join cud break. I broke 2 m70x already in the last 2 years. Its the small plastic piece that connect the headphone speaker to the bridge. Very bad design defect here.
The solution is to add some strong resin to the inner side of the small platic piece before it broke.
I also hv m40x, it is more accurate then m50x.
However the high and dynamic is lacking. Because it cane with 3 meter wires that has high capacitance and resistance. When I use my m70x 1.5meter ( or 1.2?) The sound is more open and my dynamics. I suspect it cud still sound better with shorter or better cable.
No M40x is not sounding as good as m70x, but not too bad. at 1/3 the price I cud effort to bring around even if I lost them some where.

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.
