I had these put away for a couple of years but pulled them out yesterday and fell in love all over again! I was about to purchase a new set of closed backs. That would’ve been a huge mistake!
I know that I said it in my extensive review of these headphones but they do require hundreds of hours of burn-in to sound their best. Once you get there, both bass and dynamics improve. The overall dynamics aren’t top-of-the-line but they are adequate. They only fall short when in direct comparison.
Now I do also own the Aeon 2 Noire but these are more neutral and refined.
CEE_TEEI am speaking about the Mr Speakers units not Drop units. LMAO WHUT! Must be those plum island viruses messing with my hearing. LOL damn that cat scratch fever totally fucked me up. Sorry found it messed with my hearing makes you a little looney lol. It caused a seizure activity that effects hearing. Cat Scratch Fever!!!!
Anyone know how often these go on sale? Looks like I just missed the most recent one by a week or so.
Edit: apparently I just missed it again, but this time by a day, but Drop couldn't even leave the sale price up for even 5 days? How ridiculous.
Thank you both for the info.
I wouldn't want to buy these on ebay. I have owned an Alpha Prime and Aeon 2 open and both had a loose driver wire within 2 years of owning them that I had to send them in for repairs. Primes had right ear issue, aeons had left issue.
I love the sound signature and technical capabilities of Dan, but I wouldn't want to buy a pair of his headphones without a warranty. Lol
Haven’t bought anything from a Drop in a while but show up with open version of these at this $699 price will FORCE me into the buy zone.
Hint: seen Top Gun 3X, looking at 4.
