Hey, so I currently own no headphone amplifyiers. I was planning on just driving it with my Lg G3 or the ipod classic/5th gen touch until I can afford to get a little fiio or something. How bad do you think they will sound driven only by these devices?

myamazingnewprofileAlso interested to know, will probably buy the second drop, already stretching my budget to accommodate the K7XX so I wont be able to buy an amp straight away. I will be primarily using them from my Laptop (Asus G750JH). Will they sound that much worse without an amp?

UnrealmasterThey are not efficient headphones. People do over exaggerate the power necessary for these. Your phone, ipod and laptop can drive these, but not very well. You'll definitely notice a difference compared to a dedicated amp.
Although, your source files will have a greater effect on the sound. Each piece in the chain can be important to the overall sound. To what extent depends. You're buying a headphone that was made with studio monitoring in mind. They anticipated the user having access to proper equipment. Keep this in mind when listening to poorly mastered files and without a decent DAC/AMP or DAP.
To come full circle back to the question - You can, but it's far from optimal, and you'll likely notice a significant difference with better equipment .You could end up enjoying it as is and that's great. The less difference you notice in this hobby, the less you'll spend. Happy listening.

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.

Price matching
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?

Dac/Amp -> Boose TV Speaker ?
Is the TV Speaker bottle necked because it is intended for a digital signal? If so, how do I optimize it (preferably most effective appraoch) or should I just get new speakers for the same cost it would be to optimize this. Context of Use: Desktop/TV/Gaming (Office Setup)

Why haven't I received a shipping code or response from customer service for my order in over 3 weeks?
Hello, I apologize for using the community to post a customer service ticket essentially, but I haven't gotten any update from this website for my FIRST ORDER regarding some headphones I ordered. Essentially, my partner ordered me some gaming headphones ( Drop + EPOS PC38X) a few weeks ago. I have an attached screenshot of the confirmation code on this post. Normally I'd expect a shipping code to be provided, at most, a week later, but I decided to give this website a little bit more patience because to begin with, my girlfriend was skeptical, but after reading some posts on Reddit recommending this site, I convinced her it wasn't a scam. 3 weeks later, lo and behold, we still have not gotten any kind of shipping update. I am just wondering, on average, how long it takes for an order to get to the buyer here. I have ordered from websites like Shien and etc, so I am not really stressing anything, but considering the fact that I sent customer support an e-mail 10 days ago and...
