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...

Not very familiar with the brand though, after some searching found that this is easily attainable on Ebay from US and Chinese sellers for the same or lower price, after the shipping here (that basically brings it right back to the starting price) it's sadly not much of a deal.
Would love to see the Pro-Ject Tube Box (S), or even dedicated non-tube phono stages like the Music Hall Pa1.2, Music Hall Mini, Project Phono Box, or the Rega Fono Mini for budget phono preamps. Something affordable and quality by a trusted brand. This could be great, but I can't find enough on it to really know. The shipping time is actually quite quick though, and i WOULD rather buy it from this drop than on Ebay from someone in China just because of MD's customer service (which has always been great in my experience).
