My source is laptop + apple dongle (pls no judge). Yeah, headphones with a soundstage are really cool as I tried out some monoprice planars and got a taste of it with the DT 770 Pros which is said to be the widest sounding closed back in its price range. But I can live without it no problem as...

Yeah, am really curious about how they sound but I'm just a tad impatient lol (might take a while for retail to get em in my country)

Oh yeah, I'm dumb should've wrote that as much as I want to I just can't use open backs due to my noisy neighbourhood area and fan. Apologies.

Moved over to the DT 770 Pros 80ohms after my K371 fell apart after a year even with gentle treatment. And I really do miss the faithfully tuned harman sound signature that the K371 brought. Now, that's not to say that the DT 770 Pros are bad as they're actually pretty great considering many of...

Had just googled what that is and yes the liquid was something like that but a little bit lighter in color. So I guess I should not be too worried..

Appreciate you! The glue would make sense if it wasn't gold colored but I'll keep to my lane as I'm clearly the newbie here.

Was just unplugging my AKG K371 and noticed that the XLR connecter's outer tube was a little sticky for some reason. As I took a closer look I was shocked to find that there were some golden liquid stains surrounding the outer XLR connecter tube (it looks something like melted gold in liquid...

I thought I already described it in my original post? I did wrote that this was my first ever pair of wired headphones so maybe I was wrong and didn't described it in enough detail. And by XLR output.. I mean whatever that came together in the box with the AKG K371...

I'm only using things that came in the box of the K371. No add-ons; no adapter, no amp and plugged straight into my laptop directly.

Yeah, I've heard great things about the apple 3.5mm to usb c dongle which costs a whopping $8 so I'll try to get those soon. The thing I really can't complain about apple is their absolutely amazing i-Pads as I have used them myself and know why they are regarded as one of the best tablets when...

Man, I have not heard nor experienced a single good thing about the lower to mid end HP laptops. Not sure about the high end ones but I probably should've heeded the warnings when many on forums extremely hated HP for some reason.

Does anyone know why everytime I turn on my laptop with my headphones (AKG K371) plugged in, the headphones would produce a loud *pop* or crackle during the computer boot up phrase? It sounds like a mini static explosion in both my ears. I don't wanna repeatedly plug the 3.5mm cable in and out...
