Why the fuck are you trying to take our money now, when the headphones won't actually ship until DECEMBER? That's FIVE MONTHS FROM NOW! Set up the drop to begin in November then! This is a disgusting scam as it is. I can't believe I almost fell for this shit!

tessierpgExactly! We shouldn't be talking about this for several more months!
Why is Massdrop hiding the actual ship date down in the "fine print?" Shouldn't something extreme like this be in a disclaimer at the top?

SlowCousinPeteMost drops have a certain delay. The business model here is a group purchase, it is somewhat normal. I concur with you that in this case the delay is longer than average. But the rebate is significant and the quantity of headphones purchased by the group is important even for a company like Sennheiser. I understand that the bottleneck is on the side of Sennheiser and its suppliers. You have to add 2 to 4 weeks for the headphones to be shipped to Massdrop and then from Massdrop to the customers, with delays varying depending on your localisation (US, Canada or other eligible countries). It seems that over 19000 customers feel that this is still a good deal enough to go ahead with their purchase. I wouldn't mind waiting a few months since the price is very competitive compared to a purchase on Amazon.ca or in store in Canada. But your situation may vary depending on where you live. You are not obliged to buy this if you don't feel well about this purchase and the attached conditions. It seems that many thousand customers are of the opinion that this is a good deal afterall... Massdrop is not a fly by night company and has been in business for 5 years now. I can manage the risk in this context. it's your choice... Hope you wont regret it in a few months...

tessierpgIt's fortune for you that you seem to be in great shape financially. Not everyone can afford to burn $200 and then see nothing in return for a half-year.
I'm also upset because of the missed opportunities this has caused me. I already passed on a deal on head-fi, thinking I was about to buy this 6xx... This is the last time massdrop gets the benefit of the doubt from me. I joined the drop in good faith a week ago, only today noticing the little detail of the absurdly far away ship date

SlowCousinPeteDude chill out, they explained why it takes so long. And what's the difference if you spend $200 and get the product in a week, or spend $200 and get in in 6 months, you still spent $200. There is no financial difference.

SlowCousinPeteI know, Massdrop is screwing you for another 2.69$ ... don't buy them then, not a good deal afterall...

SlowCousinPeteYes a 2.69$ scam!

CokemanThe more I read this guy, the more I feel the problem is not the 215$ paid in advance, it's not the 2.69$ of interest lost on money during the next 5 months, and it's not the headphones that are defective or having problems or anything... no, the problem is not in the headphones, but in between the headphones when they are worn... it's an attitude problem...

SlowCousinPeteIt's my understanding that this is how it works. By paying up front we are able onget this item at a significant savings! Am I wrong?

SlowCousinPetePete, as with any manufacturing process it utilizes a JIT (Just in Time) strategy which ensures they have lead on the components that are needed. It's done from everything that's not stocked inventory. That and Massdrop has a cancellation policy for longer lead time items so they have to account for the potential "Mass Drop" of orders because I'm sure they commit to Sennheiser and are on the hook. Being a Voice Actor and using a Senn416 as my primary mic and owning other Sennheiser mics and headphones you aren't going to be dissapointed with this product at this price. It's all gonna be good Pete...
