Nothing has come close to the pure musicality of these headphones for me. I’ve tried over a dozen headphones and these had pretty much everything.
They had the best bass in a headphone I’ve ever experienced, I’ve owned headphones that had more quantity but they never gave the impact that the mahogany gave. It isn’t perfectly controlled and has a small amount of bleed, but I feel that makes them sound more organic. I never noticed any amount of distortion and I turned these up till they rattled.
I can’t say much about the mids, other then they didn’t disappoint. I just didn’t feel they were missing anything there. I usually prefer a slight recess, to avoid shrill affects when turning the sound up, and these didn’t sound lacking or peaky in vocals and other sounds.
The highs are perfect for me, I’m very high tolerant and these didn’t sound dull. So they could be too bright to some, but to my ears it was just enough.
The stage too me was fairly small, and possibly more oval in shape? Which made imaging a bit weird. When listening to music they sounded intimate but large. When gaming, I found them to be pretty inaccurate. I only played two games with them, Fortnite and sea of thieves. One of those is not known for the best directional audio but they sounded beautiful none the less.
If you haven’t tried a pair of bio-dyna headphones, I urge you to give them a shot
That is……… if drop will ever sell them again 😩
These are beautiful and the sound is ridiculous. These could be used without an amp and a phone can power these puppies. Did I say these have bass!! Definitely comfortable on my bald head but I reserve these for home since they are rather large. A great buy but in my opinion I wish it came with a custom case.
These cans are, to my understanding, the Drop version of a much more expensive version of the same headphones from Fostex. They look absolutely great, the polished wood cups give them a very distinguished appearance. The comfort is also pretty good, surprisingly for a headphone of this size and weight.
Regarding the sound, they are one of my three favorite headphones! Their strength is definitely the bass. But apart from the low-frequency region, the rest of the spectrum is also very well served. A slight v-shaped signature, with brilliant, but never screaming or tingling highs, and vocals that sound very natural and clear. There is no sign of veiled or muffled sound, the whole spectrum sounds pretty much as it should. And then, this bass... Deep. contured and sufficiently precise. And above all, very pleasant. The spatial resolution is also pretty good, especially for a closed headphone, but there are better cans on the market in this discipline.
Overall, a very good and pleasant headphone, for a still accessible price tag.
These are not very comfortable to wear. The headband is very well padded, and the adjustment mechanism for the headband doesn't hold very well to my preferred headband size doesn't keep its position.
I also get a "pinging" sound from the headphones whenever there's a loud sound followed by quiet. It's quite annoying to listen to.
Very worthwhile, but annoying that it doesn't have a case at this price.
Well made, sound great. I replaced the pads with stock replacements from Fostex Amazon, because it's actually a different/better version that doesn't change the sound stage, but I wouldn't consider that necessary to enjoy the headphones.
My only frustration with any headphone above and at this price is that they don't come with a hard case. A hardcase shipped with profit build in (got a slappa case) was roughly $35? It's kinda insulting to continuously not get the most basic stuff with headphones under the guise that "oh well headphone people have tons of headphones and probably already have a case, we can cut this corner and pretend it's to save them money!".
