Drop + Focal Elexia
All vegan version of the Focal Elegia, but fully vegan, no real leather (headband) and microfiber earpads, to complement the Massdrop X Focal Elex (which has a leather headband). Made with Drop style, like the Elex was made from mostly the Elear and Clear. Similarly priced, closed-back alternative to the Elex.
Possible additional options: interchangeable cups with a variety of wood, something new to Focal headphones. Woods: Gaboon Ebony, Purple Heart, English Walnut, Mahogany, Zebrawood, Desert Ironwood, Australian Buloke, Bubinga, Rosewood.
Other cup options: Carbon Fiber, Gorilla Glass...
Please make. Let's hear support. 🙏

This is actually a good idea but you're getting a little too crazy with it. Offering a Drop version of the Elegia is probably doable since the Elegia has been discontinued.
The wood cups make absolutely no sense to me. Need I mention that wanting vegan pads but yet be willing to chop down another living thing in order to get exotic woods seems hypocritical?

yes, MDF is more effective from an acoustic standpoint than many materials. Using MDF or other similar wood composite also allows them to offer a variety of finishes (including wood veneer) on the same speaker without any changes to its acoustic properties. Machining wood cups is different from a design and construction stand point which is why I said I wouldn't hold my breath for wood cups. They've never done it before and I doubt that will change to sell a few thousand units on Drop.

ElectronicVicesThat's a good point. They would have to prepare to really get into it, so as to have pricier versions on their store. Although they are becoming more well known, they still don't have as much notoriety in America outside the high end audiophile community. But they've made Bentley editions, Tournier editions, even Assassin's Creed editions, so maybe they could piggy back Drop's marketing and jumpstart it. I could see them even making gamer targeted red/black models. There's the Clear Pro, which I haven't tried. Going on a tangent but I just wanted to keep that door of possibilities propped. In the meantime, a regular high end closed back to complement the Elex described as above would be great.

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.
