What's the point of Drop if these are offered at list price? There is nothing different about this offer (and folks, the headphones always come with two cables - one balanced and one that isn't). These are very well reviewed headphones, but they're available everywhere else at the same price. Shame on Drop!
JML54AT is hard core on Minimum Advertised Price requirements for top offerings. Using drop points to essentially take $100 off gets around that. Grado and (at times) Sennheiser also play this game. The choice is zero discount or $100 rebate... the latter is still a better deal than the former.

This is a trend now, Drop doesn't offer immediate discount, and people are blind
NEXONUSWhile I definitely agree with that in reference to all the full MSRP ChiFi releases Drop has been doing lately I still firmly believe this is mostly a MAP issue. These types of drops occurred previously on items known to be extremely hardcore on advertised price and Mass/Drop would include a cable, or a case or credit as a bonus on items that typically only see a discount in a dealer on a per customer basis. Been into audio for almost 30 years, MAP and distribution agreements in audio predate my time. Quad comes running to the forums every time Drop has some grey market gear to sell, as do Audeze (who really backstabbed Drop BTW) and others. These brands are trying to preserve a premium image, you don't get that when your gear's list price gets obliterated.

JML54Somebody always has to be that guy who whines about the price and doesn't understand about the credit. It's such a shame because many of these people actually deserve the headphone at a cheaper price.
