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...

Lastly, though the A83's stock cable is of notable merit, the options aren't limited here. Caveat being, the A83's own cable is proprietary, owing to the small protrusion on the connector that prevents rotation (pictured below). Hence, in some instances, the A83's stock cable may interfere with the ability to achieve a proper seal when certain third-party eartips are in use. Fortunately, MMCX cables are a dime a dozen, and a simple search for "mmcx cable" via Google, Amazon, or eBay yields several viable alternatives. Again, as with the eartips, ymmv, and the A83's stock configuration may be all you need. To the contrary, if a proper fit and seal proves difficult, the aforementioned suggestions don't hurt. Rest assured, the A83 is among the best hybrids I've heard, to date; no sense in not going the extra mile if need be.
For Batch 2 request, please help to promote this request too , hope we all can make it for X-mas :)

There are also several (pricier) alternatives available through Westone and Shure, but the aforementioned should and will suffice.
