Having a hard time convincing myself to get these in for review. I have a hard time recommending any truly wireless IEMs, as they have all been very disappointing for the price. So maybe this will be the first. The Jump in price after I am not a fan of, id rather them sell at a mid ground price the whole time. SO when reviewing it even tho i paid $90 ill have to be reviewing it as a $130 product. I love that the name isn't just a play on a previous model, i made a long post about that on the dt177x and this is what i was asking for. Also is it just me or does the Drop not mention anything about the controls and how they work. I'm just worried about how bassy they will be. Overall i hope there a big step up in quality over the Be free models, Sound quality doesn't have to be a huge jump but less connection issues is important. Also concered how much background noise there will be, would love info on whats powering them. I do agree with everyone else that the lack of AptX and other codexs are a big bummer, and the fact that i have to use the right iem or both and not the left on its own is a huge bummer. I'm not worried about the connections issues as if they have them or have any QC issues, as I'm sure massdrop and Optoma will stand by there product. Overall ill take a week to think about it too see if there worth getting to review, as that would be all id get them in for as for me wires are not an issue so I personally don;t have a need for wireless, and if I did id rather go wireless around the neck, so when not in use they can hang around my neck so im not opening and closing the case every time I put them away or take them out, if they fall out of my ear I wont lose them, and that way i can use a normal wired cable or a bluetooth cable. But I understand why people would want truly wireless, and i do give them a chance so i can recommend a better selection of products for more peoples needs. So we will see if I choose to get them in. Edit: Also i guess i should weight in on the name change and site redesign. I really disslike it, the site feels more like a chore to navagate and looks alot less refinded and even less legit. The name I also don't like. Ive already gotten messages from people asking if Drop based on the name and look of the site is a massdrop knock off. Which is what it feels like. But I don't see massdrop going back so I guess were stuck with it, at least (i hope) they will take feedback and improve the site but I don't see the name changing at all. For now we can chuckle when we have to mention that we just joined a drop on drop.

LifelongCabooseHey LifelongCaboose, We have some units going out now for reviews that we just got in. The graph shows that these are tuned to be well-balanced with vocal clarity and not overly warm or bassy. Impressions will be rolling in over the next couple of weeks for some outside perspective. Different driver and tuning from previous models. I'm very happy to report that the background is nice and quiet- some chipsets have electronic noise from the bluetooth that quiets down after connection establishes and settles in or it hangs around. This new chipset is very quiet- no white noise floor either, which is nice if you stop the music to hear the outside or concentrate on something. For controls, I have a little table that summarizes the control set:

Again, this is a new chipset different from previous models and it passed the tests we put them through in the Bay Area. Outside, inside, & commuting. We hope you can finally recommend a pair of True Wireless IEMs.
CEE_TEEAwesome to hear, I'll wait and see who got samples and see what they say and see what they compare it to. For me Well Balanced doesnt mean too much as even with much more expensive headphones there is always spikes, and dips and roll off. So im just curious too see how it all fairs. Is it gonna be a more warm sound maybe it will have a focus of treble detail and a vocal forward mid range, who knows. Hope some very detailed reviewers got some in. For the controls I personal think that there should be some mention of them added to the main page, even a simple "touch controls" (unless there is and I missed it) note somewhere. I kinda wish they were gestures like swipe forward or back for next and previous. Once I see what some people think I will make my choose if I will end up ordering them but I'm not sure, have seem many poeple asking me about my thoughts.
