BlanThey deliver them after they get the batch. The date is indicated.
Surprised me, but like some other of Drop origin, these are available on Amazon for a slightly higher price ($20). Longer to make up my mind on keeping them, too. Just ordered what they claim are the last pair of CLOSED X - with "more on the way". Be here sometime on 03 December. Heh...
EDIT: An hour or two later: "Only 8 left in stock (more on the way)" hmmm...
If I ever end up back in an office, I'll have a better pair of closed back 'phones. Liked the Audio Technica, but let's get real about that! No contest, me thinks!
