Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

I'm an audio mastering engineer and music producer, I've spent my life buried in audio frequencies. If you want another take on how your songs should sound, buy the Sony MDR 7506 headphone ($99), you'll be astonished at how this Sony headphone wields its magic.
With a good-quality amp, and at normal gain, the sound from the HD 58X is superb, a big thumbs up👍
As opposed to the Sennheiser HD800 which sounds overbloated in the bass and has an overall artificial 3D vibe to it, it's not reference sound imo, the soundstage has it's own dome character due to the earcup design possibly, but the HD 58X is a true reference headphone, it's an accurate headphone and close to perfection.
