Massdrop edition of Sennheiser 660S headphones?
Anyone else interested in the 660S? I want a pair of open back headphones for use with my iPhone 7 but I’m hesitant to pick up the 6xx’s as their impedance is 300 ohms. Anyone maybe have experience with the same thing? Is the listening volume actually adequate?

Just posted up a review of the 660S yesterday;
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-sennheiser-hd-58x-jubilee-headphones
Tells you my impressions of the 660S....maybe it will give you some help. The 58X driver is slightly smaller than the drivers in the 660S. They are improved by amping. A nice portable amp would be a good thing for these.

The 660's were a recent release... you won't see a cheaper version for quite some time. If you want the 660's better off waiting on a sale than a collaboration. If they tank from a sales perspective you might see a greater possibility.

I own the HD6XX, they do not sound loud enought or "good" when plugged directly to any phone I've tested so far. BUT you can get a cheap small USB DAC/amp like the Zuperdac or Hifime Sabre 9018, plug it to your phone with an OTG adaptor and you're ready to go. Plus, you can also plug the DAC/amp to any PC/tablet/whatever and it'll work too, so you get both portability and desktop listening. And if you eventually decide to upgrade to a dedicated amp, you can always use the DAC/amp just as a DAC to feed the amp, it won't be the best DAC but it'll probably be much better than the average embedded headphone out on most devices.

Eli35V20 drives them with no issues IMO. Not my preferred chain as the 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter I use won't work with my case of choice and I don't use mine in a portable capacity. The Cayin does a better job but that amp is the same price as the V20.

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.
