Why haven't I received a shipping code or response from customer service for my order in over 3 weeks?
Hello, I apologize for using the community to post a customer service ticket essentially, but I haven't gotten any update from this website for my FIRST ORDER regarding some headphones I ordered. Essentially, my partner ordered me some gaming headphones ( Drop + EPOS PC38X) a few weeks ago. I have an attached screenshot of the confirmation code on this post. Normally I'd expect a shipping code to be provided, at most, a week later, but I decided to give this website a little bit more patience because to begin with, my girlfriend was skeptical, but after reading some posts on Reddit recommending this site, I convinced her it wasn't a scam. 3 weeks later, lo and behold, we still have not gotten any kind of shipping update. I am just wondering, on average, how long it takes for an order to get to the buyer here. I have ordered from websites like Shien and etc, so I am not really stressing anything, but considering the fact that I sent customer support an e-mail 10 days ago and have...

So I look at the Flagships every flagship planar is either too cold and boring to listen to, or have recessed mids. Both of which isn't my tastes. After researching every model of every brand of planars, I found out there is no model that does everything I want for a planar to do. And the ones that did (LCD series, or HE-500) were too ******* heavy.
So instead I went for a semi-flagship semi-closed dynamic can that has extreme bass and excellent reproduction. Dynamics also sound more natural so I have zero complains. I'll be waiting another 3-5 years to see what planar offerings emerge.
There are other things that are inherent in a planar driver versus a dynamic (step response shows these differences best), but it's a type that I'd be interested in having/adding to the collection. (Much the same as I'd like to add a balanced armature IEM and a high level closed back to kind of "complete" my personal collection. See my BA IEM poll in the link below:)

I'm assuming that your tastes/personal preferences just run towards a more bass heavy response, where mine have been programmed for a more neutral (i.e., "accurate") presentation. (Which is why I was so interested in the Massdrop 7XX unit and why I eventually purchased one primarily based on my past experience with AKG's and the leak of that units measurements on Changstar by Will of Massdrop.)
The Fostex unit is a pretty decent measuring ortho type headphone with spectacular build quality. I just wonder if the rumors of the Massdrop co-branded Fostex item are eventually materialize and will it end up being a derivative of the TH500RP? If they do this unit like they did the AKG 702AE to MD 7XX, I'd be on it like stink on a monkey.
If they can bring out a D5000 derivitive for $199 like they did with the 7XX (which also retailed for $699 in the 702AE form), that would be awesome and most likely end my search for a solid, higher end closed back set of cans. I keep wanting to buy into the AKG/MD 553 Pro, but since I have the AKG 545's, it's a little redundant (even those I use exclusively in my portable rig).
