Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

Massdrop Community, A few weeks ago my HD 6XX headphones were delivered to my doorstep (nov 14th). Exactly 2 minutes after delivery, they were stolen from my doorstep as witnesses from my Ring Doorbell security camera. I was distraught - I contacted my local police department, my post office, and Massdrop - and I even posted a link in the discussion here to the Massdrop community with a link to the videos.
Massdrop went above and beyond. They fully refunded my $$ within 2 days and apologized even though this was not their fault. I still didn't have my headphones so I signed up for the next drop scheduled to ship next March. I figured the issue ran its course and that was it. But there is more....
What happened a few days ago left me speechless. I got an unexpected E-mail from Mike at Massdrop (tracking number edited out, but otherwise a direct copy).
" Hey Ling, Let's just say I didn't think it was cool that you wouldn't have your set of HD6XX headphones before the holidays. ;) You'll notice on your account that your newest order of the HD6XX was canceled and refunded today. I processed this request because you won't need it anymore due to a new pair of HD6XX being sent on their way to you currently! Here's your tracking number: XXXXXXX (FedEx) The tracking number should update later today when the carrier comes to pick up the package. This isn't something we usually do but we hope this helps you enjoy the holidays a little more. Send over a quick email once they arrive so I know these actually made it to you safe and sound and have a great weekend! -Mike "
WOW, JUST WOW!
What they did was obviously not their policy and I cannot guarantee you that they do this for your order. But it does show that they will do whatever they can to make you, the customer, happy.
Massdrop has a customer for life.
Merry Christmas!

link to the video of the theft at 1:33 pm. There is that white honda civic again. I'm kinda ticked that the Ring camera did not get a good clear pic of the perp face.

I think I found the thief, but I don't want to post that publicly yet as I forwarded that info to the police.
Is the camera capturing 24/7 or is it motion-activated? I assume the camera captured more of the perp walking up to your doorstep and you just edited the video. However, you complain about the camera not having captured a clearer picture of his face so I'm not so sure. Do you think he recognized the Ring doorbell and turned his face away when approaching your doorstep?
I'm glad you got footage of his car at least, and the fact that he's got identifying tattoos should help. I really hope the police nab the guy and you pursue legal action. Ugh, seeing that video makes me sick.
The video is unedited. I tested it over and over. If you walk up to the door, the camera records you walking up. This guy ran up to the door. I'm not sure if he saw the camera or not.
I do hope the police catch him, but the moral of the story is Massdrop rocks.
