Just saying. You can get real DT1770 for less than these. https://m.thomannmusic.com/beyerdynamic_dt_1770_pro_250_ohms.htm

These are a different animal altogether.
Drop collaborates and goes out of their way (Christian and the team!) to ‘build a better unit’.
Sometimes it is just to lower the pricepoint (ie different packaging and cables included) as consumers want a particular part without any fruit (lower price)...
Other times it is from scouring Head-fi and other serious audio communities and figuring out what is highly desired, and then builds a ‘best version’; ie if a few hundred people keep applying a specific modification, why not build it with the mod in the first instance?
beyer generally don’t dampen internally etc..
The tesla driver units turn away a lot of potential buyers from due to a very ‘rich’ treble.
The detail retrieval of the Teslas’ units are exceptional (often considered in similar leagues to flagships like the Sennheiser HD800- exceptional revealing headwear), but are known to potentially seem sibilant (eg sharp ‘S’ sounds in vocals, too rich a cymbal hit etc).
Drops version factors what audiofools like myself want.
The re’tuning’, in part done with the replacement pads (not just for comfort!) is why this page shows some frequency plots.
These are an improvement.
I wouldn’t encourage anyone to buy an ‘original’ part when these have been tinkered with based on much research and effort,.. all given for free by a community of super passionate people.
Fortunately Drop employs people to make stuff like this happen.
So not only do we get great prices- Drops like this one make parts happen that would otherwise require those unfamiliar with modding to undertake a daunting process and wind up with a draw filled with redundant parts.
Just to save the time and effort, I would pay extra.
To have these mods performed by a professional tuner with actual empirical evidence to confirm the part isn’t ‘screwed up’? Worth it.
To have a unit that others can comment about that is the same as my own? Priceless- it allows me to get useful feedback as to how ancillory equipment might assist a certain playback goal.
It took me twenty hours of review scouring to figure out what I might need to do to tame some Teslas... (T90)
Whilst I wont mod my headphones, pretuned versions are HIGHLY DESIRABLE.
quite a few Drop headsets are quite well regarded vs the vanilla units available at retail.
Drop isn’t just a discount brand. Look at Christians ‘followings’- they are significant players in the audio industry.
Christian handshakes with more audio gods than typical people ever get to meet in a lifetime.

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

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.
