When is the next drop?

Oct 24, 2018

AIRobotThey did one in Feb '18 (ships Oct '18)... 2nd in June (ships Feb '19), so maybe a 3rd about now?
(looks at the number of 'Requested' - 2,749) That's weird. I could have sworn the number of requests was in the hundreds, not THOUSANDS.

Jiv_auI'm seeing "509 users have requested this product". Where are you seeing 2749?

JaggiI'm sure someone will eventually tell me what I'm doing wrong, but the pic still says 2.7K... Am I looking at the right place?

Jiv_auI'm not sure what page that screen shot is from, but perhaps it's showing total requests since the very first drop rather than current requests?
This is what I see on the description (overview) page:

And this is from the Audiophile drops page:

Jaggiand @Jiv_au, sorry about the confusion here, this is a small test where we are trying to display the total number of requests ever on a product. The number of requests since the last drop is the smaller number. I can't speak to when the product will be re-ran at this time as that is governed by our Collaboration Product Development team.
Would love to better understand which of the two request totals you prefer to see and for what reasons.

Oct 25, 2018

ltopperThanks for the clarification. I thought I was becoming senile, given my age... I think the number of requests since the last drop would be more relevant as it represents the product's present popularity, as opposed to past popularity.

Oct 25, 2018

Jiv_auSay more about present popularity and what you’re trying to decipher.. Does this mean how popular a product is within a given period of time vs all time? What are other ways we could indicate present popularity? For example, if a drop just ended and there had been 2000 requests and all of those people bought it, but now 10 minutes after it ends it displays 5 requests does that accurately convey “present popularity”?

ltopperI thought the more relevant questions was, what makes requests "Didn't" turn into actual sales figure.

AndyMokHey! I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean how many requests didn't turn into a sale?

ltopperWhat are other ways we could indicate present popularity Is it possible just to put both figures out? "nnnn Requests: / mmmm Since Last Drop". (CAUTION: extremely poor photoshopping below)

Jiv_auI think this is great :) Would love to hear - what you feel the "since last drop" number really helps you do or understand?

ltopperIt would help other people realize how many are likely to actually purchase it vs just request it. Because I've seen many items get requested only for the people to not purchase them at all.

Oct 28, 2018

ltopperI think the "since last drop" is more important and relevant in technology products that have a very short value life-span. On the other hand the total number of requests becomes a simple historical data that has less weight for potential buyers to make their purchasing decision. As for cases when the "since last drop" is low, due to a product having just finished its drop, I normally look to the number of purchases and the posts in discussion to determine the popularity of the product. But if possible, I'd like to see a graph similar to a web site traffic analytics, but using the "requests" as data.

ltopperI’m looking at the number of requests since last drop, hoping that it is an indicator of the likelihood of another future drop. Some stuff, like Massdrop Made products especially, are regularly offered. Other stuff, I have no idea. When I find an old drop for something I want, my first questions are: “How recent was the last drop? What was the drop price? When might it drop again?” Since that information isn’t readily available—and since I want opinions anyway to confirm my interest—I take to the discussions. From the dates of posts (especially the more recent ones) I can piece together whether the item seems like a frequent drop or not. The number of requesters since the last drop feeds into that. If it’s been 6W since the last post, then 200 new requests tells me a lot more than, say, 1200 all-time requests.

SpeleoFoolSuper helpful. Thank you for laying that out so well.

The audio on my pc38x is not working

One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir

Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair

Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.

Refusal to take responsibility.

Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...
