Same as @eddiezr said, what is this about "After the first drop, the price will increase in future drops. The magnitude of the increase is unclear pending production of the HD58X".
The price has remained the same. So this is BS. Massdrop playing with the words to bite people into buying. Really bad business practice. Not trusting MD again.
I'll take my money elsewhere. And so should you, reading this...

ImBullseyeSo, because they did not adjust the price to make these a worse deal you should not purchase them?
I agree that it's misleading that they would not communicate any changes to their original plan of pricing, since it's obvious that that statement was written very early during marketing, but it's not like that somehow turns the Jubilees into a bad deal. They've sold like candy because they're nice headphones, not because of much, if any, perceived deception. If anything they would be significantly less attractive if the price was raised.
Only questioning your communicated advice, of course, where you spend your money is none of my business, really.

NeoTheLizardI did not mean to people who want them now not to purchase them. After all they are free to do what they please with their money. And the headphones are nice.
I am saying that MD is not to be trusted with statements like this one. They are tricking the consumers by giving a fake sense of urgency when buying these headphones. Same as what they are doing with "available in a limited number or for a limited time" and months after you keep seeing products available.
This practice should be punished, as the audiophile industry is already flooded enough by snake oil, hype and misleading claims.
I hope someone at least thinks twice before buying some product due to that sense of fake urgency to get a "good deal before it runs out". Because here it ain't happening. And international consumers are in a tight spot with MD.

ImBullseyeYeah, it is pretty shitty. And there are still comments popping up from people every now and then who are legitimately confused about that and the perpetual countdowns.

erickongStill later than it should have been. And it still does not fix the issue with the "limited availability"..
Let's see if they take steps into the good direction. As for the time being they are not recommended by me.

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.
