CokemanThis is the email I got from them
If you received headphones with a serial number higher than 501, please let us know by responding to this email or reaching out from massdrop.com/transactions. Once you have written in, we will be happy to help exchange for a replacement that has a serial number lower than 500. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns as well.
MannyAkimI have a feeling they are making stickers and replacing the serial #s. This is going to end up like Ferrari where they lie about their serial #s and 2 people have the same #.
MannyAkimMassdrop made a mistake. Did you receive an email from Massdrop about the mistake? Some headphones for early supporters have serial numbers more than 501. You have the option to send it back for an exchange for the correct one.
I agree with you about the principal. I am super disappointed with Massdrop. I am based overseas and is using a forwarding service. Hence I can't check and send it back for an exchange.
fallrskI’d anyone gets a <501 and knowingly wasn’t in the first 500, they will have the legit serial number and probably not give it up. Especially if MD offers that sweet sweet $10 credit for the hassle. /s
StihlNothing, but people like low serial #s because it makes it more collectible. I saw one pair of these with a Serial # under 100 that sold for $500.
