I did get my 'phones today, they arrived with a DHL Express label.
I don't know if the drop-shipper made some massive mistakes and the DHL is just trying to make up lost time, they were trying to pull a fast one and Massdrop applied pressure to get them to straighten up, or what, but there is no China Post label anywhere. It appears the China Post tracking number was fake, but they are evidently shipping them now and via DHL Express.

BradumI think it would be unfair to judge them this soon as I haven't really had any time with them, but initial experience is that the small tips won't make a good seal and the medium tips won't let the gigantic nozzles go far enough into my canal that the body isn't hanging outside my ear. But the sound quality seems to be on-par with $8 drug-store eat phones.
But I have had much worse initial impressions of 'phones that went on to actually impress me, so it's very possible that these will turn out to be a wonderful purchase...

BradumI have had a chance to spend more time with them, so I am comfortable giving an opinion.
The material from which they are made seem a little cheap, but not bad for the price point. The construction, however, is very good--they seem quite sturdy and durable and I have no fears about them falling apart due to workmanship. The nozzles are extraordinarily long, and even using the smallest tips and inserting as far as they will go, the 'phones sit "outside" my ears without actually touching any part of my outer ear. They are so light that this isn't uncomfortable, as long as I don't need to adjust them--at that point it feels (to my fingers) that they are falling out because they stick out so far. They still give a good seal, and they ARE comfortable, they just don't look like it.
As for performance, they are not anything to blow my mind. They're a little sparkly for my taste, but the treble isn't bad enough to bother me; and the bass seems to be really very good considering how strong the highs are. They seem to me to be very balanced overall as the mids seem to have a good presence as well. I'm not very good at aural judgment, but they do seem to have a V shaped response curve that tends toward brightness, to me--but I don't care for bright 'phones and I will definitely keep using these.

BradumHopefully my receiving a pair wasn't a fluke and it indicates the others are on their way.
Still doesn't seem to be a very efficient, or forth-coming, approach to fulfilling a drop--or an order of any kind, really...
