I have only experienced a handful of headphones but these have excellent customizable features with the padding, increasing bass or reducing treble. The mids on these are perhaps the best I've ever listened to, and add some color to the sound experience without losing the accuracy of vocals or string instruments. As far as casual listening to podcasts or gaming, it's a pleasant experience and would recommend to anyone who is looking to get into higher end audio at this price range. https://www.amazon.com/Drop-MrSpeakers-Ether-CX-Closed-Back/dp/B082BMXYV8
Did they fix anything or had badly made units that went out because China makes them? I see a small amount of unhappy people so I have to guess if the rating went up they started yelling at China for messing up and sending poorly made units. If you make it in China this is what ends up having when these factories mass produce so many items.
Anyone know how often these go on sale? Looks like I just missed the most recent one by a week or so.
Edit: apparently I just missed it again, but this time by a day, but Drop couldn't even leave the sale price up for even 5 days? How ridiculous.
Thank you both for the info.
I wouldn't want to buy these on ebay. I have owned an Alpha Prime and Aeon 2 open and both had a loose driver wire within 2 years of owning them that I had to send them in for repairs. Primes had right ear issue, aeons had left issue.
I love the sound signature and technical capabilities of Dan, but I wouldn't want to buy a pair of his headphones without a warranty. Lol
Haven’t bought anything from a Drop in a while but show up with open version of these at this $699 price will FORCE me into the buy zone.
Hint: seen Top Gun 3X, looking at 4.
Had to sell my pair in order to pay for repairs after water damage to our house had occured, wish I hadn't missed the sale, will have to wait for another one now (since import taxes are insane when combined with the 900$ price) in order to finally get a new set. They're still my absolute go-to for monitoring, I'm really struggling right now without them... -.-
