I'm not going into a long a detailed review, simply because these things aren't worth it and it's been said 100 times below. - Here are my thoughts,
Price breakdown: $10 development(lol), build and materials, $50 E-MU brand recognition, $15 Massdrop cut/shipping
These fail at just about every category for closed, portable headphones: Build quality, sound quality, comfort and Isolation ..or lack of. The 'bang for the buck' factor is not met either. You can get much better for less in the same segment, just read some of the reviews and discussions below for options.
I bought these fully understanding what I was getting, so I'm not really angry nor surprised. But after reading some of the other discussions below, I thought I'd throw in a quick opinion. These are cool, quirky collection "worthy" headphones that won't see much playing time but will serve as another pair in the collection and hopefully start a cool conversation one day.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
