A single line in the intro text caught my attention, "a distinctly warm and subtly dark tone all its own;" how warm is this headphone's sound compared to other headphones?

My impression of a 'warm' sounding hp or IEM is one of accentuated bass and attenuation of the highs and mids, especially the high end, which some people may find fatiguing. Basically giving you the spectrum of muted timbre. Nothing too startling, nothing really stands out unless you're listening to a bassists' album. Probably good for relaxation or going to sleep.
Not for me, I go for the best resolution possible and a neutral sound. I want my cymbals to crash and drums to percolate! I want to hear the guitar cry in the hands of an artist. Not to mention vocals. Just my opinion and experience. The best way is, as always, to try and hear it for yourself whenever possible. If unable to audition, buy from amazon or someplace that allows returns if you don't like the sound. I hear that Drop allows returns, though I've not had to try.
I bought the HE-X4 a couple of years ago (when they cost $220). I didn't send it back even though its definitely a little bass-y, as echoed by many here. Being a planar set, it overcomes the slight attenuations and accentuations with great resolution. They do like power and scale well with a good amp. Hope this helps.

Those are quite pretty up close, if there's another drop in the future, I'll give them a go. That's also a very nice looking cable, it looks somewhat similar to the cable on the A91, is it slightly microphonic?

Two and a half years old! Well-used, but stored in a pelican when not in active use ;-) Only very slightly microphonic, somewhat compensated for with a sturdy little shirt clip. The cable is rather stiff, considering all the copper in litz patterns, but I'm able to move about as freely as with most.

Suspension strap for comfort, real carbon fiber cups for lighter weight and slightly more open sound, bottom color accents. I make all the parts to make these, check it out on my Etsy store.

Price matching
I ordered the Dekoni Cobalt for $179 and the price dropped to $159 before they even arrived. Some retailers do price match reimbursements if an item goes on sale within a certain time frame after purchase. Does Drop do that?

Dac/Amp -> Boose TV Speaker ?
Is the TV Speaker bottle necked because it is intended for a digital signal? If so, how do I optimize it (preferably most effective appraoch) or should I just get new speakers for the same cost it would be to optimize this. Context of Use: Desktop/TV/Gaming (Office Setup)

Why haven't I received a shipping code or response from customer service for my order in over 3 weeks?
Hello, I apologize for using the community to post a customer service ticket essentially, but I haven't gotten any update from this website for my FIRST ORDER regarding some headphones I ordered. Essentially, my partner ordered me some gaming headphones ( Drop + EPOS PC38X) a few weeks ago. I have an attached screenshot of the confirmation code on this post. Normally I'd expect a shipping code to be provided, at most, a week later, but I decided to give this website a little bit more patience because to begin with, my girlfriend was skeptical, but after reading some posts on Reddit recommending this site, I convinced her it wasn't a scam. 3 weeks later, lo and behold, we still have not gotten any kind of shipping update. I am just wondering, on average, how long it takes for an order to get to the buyer here. I have ordered from websites like Shien and etc, so I am not really stressing anything, but considering the fact that I sent customer support an e-mail 10 days ago and...
