Scarily open sound stage, crisp audio, and a warmer leaning feel

These are extremely comfortable, lending well to anyone who is always wearing hats, as the self adjusting band will conform to your dome whether you are capping it or not. They're built like a weapon and they're pretty heavy which some may not appreciate but the weight distribution is solid and doesn't leave any pressure points on my particular noggin's dimensions. I constantly looked around to greet someone that walked into my room or check something that fell over due to the obscenely wide sound stage and crisp clear audio making it sound like something was actually happening irl around me. The slightly warm leaning tone also added to that convincing effect, as the sound signature feels accurate enough to startle you but not so robotically precise and piercing to entail it's just a recording. The included cables are robust and imo good looking, the packaging and unboxinge experience was extremely premium. The outer packaging looks good enough to display. The ear pads are perfectly round which means they would be easier to swap or replace than a more oblong pad. The only negative would be that my long hair gets caught somewhere I can't seem to locate when I remove them, but this was easily fixed by tying up my hair.

Great customer service!

I bought this with an expected shipping date of September 2023. I am moving in 3 weeks so I was ok with this and put my future address, but Drop unexpectedly shipped it 5 days ago and it was delivered to the wrong address. I immediately contacted customer service and asked them to have UPS switch my address. They were responsive although they couldn’t change shipping in transit. It was unfortunately very stressful as I was out of the country and unable to pick it up at the other address as it was delivered. By the time I was able to get access to the delivery point the package was not there, it had been lost or stolen. I let drop know and they issued me a full refund, which they honestly did not have to do but I am exceedingly grateful for. I would buy with confidence from Drop again but I emphasize the expected shipping date is truly a suggestion and not a guarantee so use a correct address and don’t be like me.

Very Comfy, Cable is Good, and Sound is very Hifiman (in a good way)

These headphones ship in a pretty nice box. However the earcups (the whole cups, not the pads lol) came detached from the headphone which I've heard online some people mention. It takes about 4 seconds to reattach them to the headphone and theyve never even come close to detaching since I've owned them for several weeks. It comes with 2 cables: a 3.5mm 90° angled single ended cable and a 4.4mm balanced cable. The sound is very Hifiman planar sounding, which is a great thing. It's neutral and has plenty of detail and treble, with the bass and mids also still very present and clear. The Venus is also very comfortable, way more than Hifiman's in this price range (Sundara, Ananda, Edition XS). I was able to wear them for a couple hours and my ears only got a little warm on the stock leather pads (the pad space for your ears is very spacious unlike those). The headband mechanism is also really well designed, I can't imagine anyone would find that part comfortable. They're a little heavy, but nothing too crazy imo. If you have a really really big problem with heavy headphones, then yeah I guess skip these, but I think more important than weight listed on a scale is how the weight is distributed. These are distributed very well over the whole head, while something like the old Audeze headphones pre 2021 distribute a lot of weight and clamp towards the jaw and front of your head. I think these are more comfortable than those These are an easy recommend. They sound very competitively for this price range, look really really nice in my opinion, are very comfy, and come with solid cables and box (no carrying case). These were a grade sidegrade to the other headphones I own to give my music a different flavor if I ever wanna change the sound as these sound very different :) (for reference, I also own an HD 560s, Focal Clear, Focal Celestee, Meze 109 Pro, Dan Clark Aeon Closed X, HD8XX, and an HD600)

Spyro_NierJust wanted to ask since it seems you're the only one so far who has one in their hands, does the 3.5 cable connect on the headphones side with a proprietary connector or is it something standardized?

DERPFACELARYIts just regular dual 3.5mm cable! Same as the ones Hifiman and Meze use, among many other manufacturers. It comes with 2 cables: a 1.5m 3.5mm cable with a 90degree conector and a 2.5mm balanced cable. Also has a screw on 1/4" adapter for the 3.5mm cable. I find the cable is very thin and lanky, but it holds no memory so its a pretty comfortable use and I didnt feel the need to change it. If you want something more glorious, then sure go wild. Some will call the cable "cheap feeling" because it isnt thick as a rope and using expensive shielding, but it works well and doesnt stick out aesthetically. Sundara cables are 100x worse and more uncomfortable to use lol
