Another Drop That Is Amazing and Unique
It had to happen. I auditioned the Romanian built Meze 99 Neo and definitely fell I love. They are extremely comfortable although I actually really do enjoy the suspension headband. I feel like the headphones just "float" on my head so I forget I have them on. This offering from Drop is actually great deal too. The Meze 99 Classics are $309, while the Neo are $199. Same price as the Drop Noir. The sound is satisfyingly true to the design. These are beautifully crafted, Walnut closed back headphones. I love the black all metal hardware much more than the gold on the Classics. The chrome on the Neo is ok, but this understated black with dark walnut is impeccable. I should note they were just purchased and available, so they will arrive in 2 business days for a transport fee $5. The Neo went back to the store and $200 was credited. I cannot emphasize enough. You get what you pay for. The only exception in life where I have seen otherwise is with...headphones. There ar some strikingly good deals out there. Knowledge is king. I do my research. Read plenty and watch plenty of videos. I viewed a whole range of Walnut and Rosewood headphones from another manufacturer for half the price. I am sure they are good. But Im not going for good, Im going for Great! To take a chance on another Chi-Fi headphone is not my thing anymore. I read plenty of great reviews about wooden headphones. This, along with the other recently ordered Monoprhice M570 will be my first foray into wooden cans. I realize lots of musical instruments are made from wood, and there must be good reason for that. Something I will further research. Acoustic guitar, piano and violin are just a few. Now we will see the benefit of wood in audiophile headphones. I really welcome any comments in regard to wood headphones from users in the Drop Community. Thank you all for your comments as they are very valuable to me. Im thinking of starting a review channel on YouTube also. I have some great headphones, DACs and AMPs to discuss. Cables too. I don't know. I do know life is short and you should enjoy everything. Its all about living, not just surviving. My home office has become more cluttered after the recent death of my Mother first, then about 18 months later, my Father. I realize "things" cannot make up for my losses. Clutter is NOT a good thing. So I will purge again. Throwing out lots of boxes, paperwork and such. Selling others. I am trying to only bring in new headphones, DACs and AMPs right now. It literally is a daily love affair. See you at the next "Drop".

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.
