Anyone else from the first batch not get a shipping notification? Only about 500 of us, feeling sad in the minority.

kritt3rIn the same boat, hoping ours will ship by next week, but i dont know how long quality control usually takes after they receive the product.

flyfisher55Simple and elegant indeed, I would prefer a single stand, since I only have one set of headphones, or generally do, so I probably don’t fully appreciate it’s versatility in that regard, but it is certainly very nice!

flyfisher55I see you have a pair of hd600...would you mind comparing them to the 6xx when you get them?

flyfisher55Looks sweet. Don't hang the AKGs by their leather suspenders regularly. You might wear them out quickly.

flyfisher55So here's a question :if you have the Hd600, why buy the hd6xx? Just curious.

flyfisher55Thats pretty nice! I would be looking for something to go on top of my receiver though, so I won’t be able to screw into that, great design though!

chuckolatteHave read about the difference in bass weight and was curious. I like the Sennheiser sound. I really enjoyed being able to hear just about anything I wanted to at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I enjoyed the 800 over the 800S and interestingly discovered that those of us with more "seasoned" ears seem to mostly share the same opinion. It has to do with the roll off of the highs.

flyfisher55Wow... The 800 didn't seem too sharp to you?

chuckolatte"Seasoned ears" The Sennheiser rep told me that most guys around my age preferred the 800's

Just realized you were referring to the AKG’s You really think hanging by their own weight would damage them?

Appreciate you taking the time to explain the reasoning behind your previous comment. I now understand it and have hence corrected placement by hanging from the plastic rings vs. the leather band. Thanks guys!

JmunandarHave you gotten your shipping notification yet? I was pretty sure the June run was less than 8700 units that Massdrop has said shipped? I kinda wish I didn't know they were coming early now, the suspense is killing me.

JmunandarNot a reliable source (mostly cause my memory is booty) but I believe I saw a post saying the first June run had 7500 units. Can anyone confirm or correct me?

JmunandarFrom Will's comment on June 28:
"We’re increasing the drop limit to 11,500 units. Additionally, we’re going to be extending the drop to end on June 30 at 9 p.m. PT. "

Jmunandar There we go thanks. So probably another 3 weeks till the first drop is completed. I was on the 29th so I'm really hoping I'm higher on the list and I get on this next one, but we'll see.
