As one final reveal in advance of the big launch, we wanted to highlight a recent interview between Axel Grell and Head-Fi where Axel dives into the science and design behind the OAE1 headphones.

What are you most excited for in the OAE1?
I had an extended listening session with the Grell's at this year's NYC CanJam and they sounded wonderful. I also had the chance to speak with Mr. Grell length and he is extremely excited to be working with Drop and looking forward to bringing these, what he feels are very competitive, both in price and performance, headphones to market.
michaelhunt26I am independent. I have a full time job making eyeglasses. It’s actually making me slow to finish all the parts of my review I want to include 😅
Jdtx93I’m ok with their audio gear as it’s been well done so far and there’s another entity involved. I 110% a free with the Panda fiasco and was very vocally against it (and Glorious’ take as well). But Drop’s audio products have (so far) been damn good, imo.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
