I will ask again. What happened to the "expedited production" of the second batch? According to you, the remainder of customers from the initial drop (late November) were to have their headphones by "late January or early February". It's nearly February and we have not heard of this since December and now we're being told our orders will leave the fulfillment centers mid February. What's the incentive for early purchasers? Why has MY hard earned money been in your hands for months now? I have made a purchase, not an investment. My order should have been fulfilled by this time as per your word. As I previously stated: the many inconveniences and lies have severely detracted from the value of this drop. Is $200 really worth a pair of cheap, Chinese headphones that arrive nearly 3 months after ordering them? Given how long you have had my money I should be getting much more. Extremely disappointed here, Massdrop.
MetagoldThe negative attitude doesn't really help anything nor anyone. I'm pretty sure there's a complaint box you can share your thoughts to the company.
Aside from your thoughts, if you took the time to go to the description and scroll down. The repetitive questions asked (and still being asked); all your answers are located there.
They have the second batch for November's drop and have ~700 extra units for this drop ready to go. If you do a little more searching, you'll find yoyr answers. Otherwise these "cheap, Chinese headphones" Aren't for you.
Also, I don't think AKG(nor any prestige audiophile comapines) would put these on the market if they were "cheaply"made. Just my 2 cents.
MetagoldI'm sure they already stated multiple times that the last drop ones would be shipped out when the shipment arrives while this drop ones will be shipped on the 17th.
Tho it is true it said mid Jan to early Feb they did not guarantee it and is rather an stated as an estimate. Also what you did in the last drop was essentially a pre purchase so it makes sense they have your money :P
