Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

I am new to this, so any enthusiasts please correct me.
Anyways, the headphone jacks on the front are powered. The RCA Line-Out on the back is line level. From the reviews of the product it appears that the signal goes through the tube before going to Line-Out, which means you can use it as a pre-amp. For example if you have a stereo receiver that's already powering your speaker you would have:
Source (computer or whatever you use) -> Bravo AMP -> Headphones -in this case bravo will power your headphones AND Source (computer or whatever you use) -> Bravo AMP via line-out -> your stereo receiver -> speakers -in this case bravo serves as a pre-amp, while your stereo actually powers the speakers
