Massdrop bats a home run again. This one will sell out fast. At a lower price than the already nice current price of the DT1770, the Massdrop variant retains exceptional value and price to performance of the original.
Generalist
The headphone is a fantastic generalist, without sounding overly warm or icy. It falls right in the middle as what I’d consider a neutral beast. But, oddly and thankfully, only in tonality. Physical dynamic impact levels are less than moderately setup, which means the headphone is a pleasure to listen to without harsh wince factor and slam.
Beyond that, the headphone is only 32ohm and powered easily by a portable music player. This headphone now becomes one of the best overall $500 and under headphones on the market and perhaps one of the best generalists as well. It doesn’t lack anywhere. If you want more bass, it can support a bit more via EQ and not lose control or sound muddy even at +5dB. If you want to record in a studio, this is a brilliant option.
Gaming
If you game a lot, you’ll also love it. This headphone turned out to be shockingly useful, able to be toted from a walk outside with a lot of EQ in my music playlist, to listening to a podcast on YouTube, to then being used to mess with some guitar recording I tried out. Considering also it is one of the most comfortable headphones out there.
My only real gripe is the included stock cable, which is just a bit too long and bulky. I’d really have loved a shorter cable with an extension included, instead of what I was given. Beyond that, this is a fantastic headphone that I regard highly as easily one of the best, if not the best of the larger closed backs out there sub $500.

Michael24bitIt would have been great if they came with 1.5m cable as it is named "Go".
For those who may need a long cable, they could have opted to include an extension cable.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
