Hey Everyone, coming to you with a brief logistics update + an exciting announcement for anyone who missed out.
For everyone waiting on a 6XX shipment, the first units are completing production and will begin the journey from Ireland to our NJ warehouse in the next couple weeks. If everything continues as planned, we should begin shipping orders in early/mid November about a month before the original expected ship date of 12/18/17.
As for the exciting announcement, remember how I said the the long lead time on this 6XX drop comes from Sennheiser’s parts suppliers? Well, maybe they felt bad about the shorter cables taking 6 months, maybe it worked out better for their costs, or maybe it worked better for Sennheiser’s costs (at the end of the day we don’t know why) but they provided parts for 25,000 units instead of the ~20,400 we ordered in June.
What does this mean? It means we’ve got an extra 4500 units going into production that will arrive in time for delivery by Christmas!
What are we going to do with these 4500 units? We’re launching a drop on the 13th (this friday, tomorrow) at 6am PST where these units will be available with shipping to addresses in the US guaranteed by Christmas.
These will disappear quickly so set your alarms - and for everyone who’s already in the drop, get some popcorn and watch the rush, you’ll get your tracking info before any of these orders ship.

RiflemanFirstWeird that I hear about a new Sennheiser product in a massdrop discussion section and not from Sennheiser. The 660s looks good though but probably not worth upgrading from my 650.

My understanding would be all the earlier month of June units will be shipped on the estimated shipping - early/mid Nov as mentioned by Will. Just that this new batch.....with the information - will reach the US consumers before XMas.

k1nkaLast time I ordered something it got shipped from the US. Therefore you have to pay for Customs ( In Germany it was 19%=40$) which still makes this headphone 70$ cheaper than buying it right away here from a german retailer

Agreed. I was all set to buy the Schiit Asgard HP amp when I somehow found this drop, and remembering I was already a member, and seeing such rave reviews for not only the HD6XX cans but also the great deal via MD, and I threw my money at this immediately. Fortunately for me that I did that, because the Drop ended within a half hour of purchase.
I also decided to go with the Teac AI-101DA desktop amp/dac. A bit overpriced at $300 but not bad for $200. If I decide I don't like the Teac, I can always go with something else and have someone else use this for a desktop rig.

Will Question about delivery - How do they deliver these? Is it on the order of how we joined the Drop? I think I was 1,687 person to order when they opened the first drop (Out of the 20,400 total orders). I am from Canada and don't know if I should feel delivery could be quicker for me.

hyp36rmaxYes, one drawback to using the TEAC is that I don't have any efficient speakers-both sets of bookshelf speakers I like to rotate between are both @ 86 dbls. I bet it sounds great with the Klipsch's.
I will likely not use the TEAC, however. I have a brand-new Denon AVR-s710w, a cheapo 7.2 ch. receiver that will work perfectly in this tiny bedroom/PC sound system with surely enough output for those HD6XX, solving both my amp and dac issues. Instead, I think the TEAC would be a great way to get sound for a tv without a big electronics box getting in the way. Small and perfect for the chore. With the sub-out, even better!

WillThank you Will for this update! Also +1 to Massdrop for sending (successfully) a email update: "The First Batch of the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD6XX Headphones has arrived at the warehouse in New Jersey. They are going through a quality control check and we expect them to start shipping out in the middle of the next week. The headphones will be shipping out in batches, and we anticipate that all orders will be shipped before our estimated ship date of December 18." I'm sure many of us are excited for the news. I hope everything goes smoothly.
