I have finaly recieved mine from the very first drop (begin of april). They are better but bigger than expected.
The build and sound quality are outstanding, especially for this price point. I have an average sized head, so the fit is near perfect, but the cans themselves are bigger than I expected. Although they fold flat they aren't very suitable for on the go use.
roelst1Guess what R? The 553's are good for ANY money! I just bought a pair of top-of-the-line AKG 712 Pro's across town at Sweetwater Sound for $400 plus tax. Guess what? I've A-B the 553 and the 712 and there's not that much difference. 712 are more open and a little smoother but the difference can't even be 10%. Additionally, the 712's are not as dynamic as the 553 and the bass is slightly better with the 553--though not quite as defined. But honestly, because they're from the same manufacturer. The differences are so minor for the extra $$$$ spent that it's ridiculous. And I'm an audiophile that knows his stuff. I have a discerning ear. I'm not a neophyte. In sum, the 553's are simply an incredible headphone period.....then they are a great value second.
ShawnP.WatsonThe 553 is unusually smooth in this price range. I don't have the 712 now, but I'd bet these are very close - even more amazing for being closed-back.
I currently am rocking the beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros and have been for a while now, along with a go xlr! I was trying to see what other headset you guys recommend along with something to replace the xlr? Thank you!
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
Suspension strap for comfort, real carbon fiber cups for lighter weight and slightly more open sound, bottom color accents. I make all the parts to make these, check it out on my Etsy store.
I ordered the Dekoni Cobalt for $179 and the price dropped to $159 before they even arrived. Some retailers do price match reimbursements if an item goes on sale within a certain time frame after purchase. Does Drop do that?
