I havent found any information about possibilities to buy them in Europe (without having to import obv). Are there any plans yet?

Hey all, I received my Panda’s and have been breaking them in but the sound is really flat. Not sure if others are hearing the same. I was thinking maybe there’s an app or something to go in and fine tune (or gross tune) the amp but no luck. The sound resembles AirPod pros as my Skullcandy Hesh3s and Bose Comfort IIs sound far superior. Not sure what’s happening.

You guys really missed the chance to go for a white-on-black "panda" color scheme. Any plans for more colors/materials?

Will the boom mic have side tone? If not, can you add it in? Without side tone I find myself yelling at people.

Heads up on what's coming
Maybe someone's asked this before but can't Drop give a heads up on what's in the pipeline?
I just saw a notification that Topping DX 7 PRO was available.
I purchased a Monoprice Monolith dac-amp combo three days ago.
If I known I would have waited. I am extremely happy with my purchase but the Topping has a remote and Bluetooth.
I think Drop would do themselves a big favor offering a heads up.

How does the HD 6xx and HD 58x compare to Dt 770 pro 80 ohms?
I have a pair of Dt 770 pro 80 ohms and would like to know which of the two Sennheisers would broaden my headphone selection for different types of listening. Something more detailed and clear in the highs, unlike the stuffy, bass-heavy 770s, would be ideal. My music consists mostly of rock (Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead), electronic (Com Truise, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada), and metal (Tool, Metalica, Deftones). I use Tidal and a Chord Mojo to power my headphones.

My new Drop Panda headphones do not seem to be detected by windows 10 computers, what should I do?
First, it does work for my phone, As soon as I went to bluetooth settings I saw the drop panda immediately without issue.
Then came the time to make it work on PC. Since my previous headset was a Bose AE2 Soundlink, I previously already have a Bluetooth 4.0 (the 5.0 from the Panda is supposedly backward compatible to 4.0) adapter on my pc, and never had issue with the other headset, and it still works fine too. But for some reason My Pc is absolutely incapable of seeing the Panda by Bluetooth. It works fine when plugged through a cable tough, but that's not why I bought them for.
I tried a lot of things, I unplugged the dongle, I set the Bluetooth service to automatic then restarted the service then the PC. I check the drivers but everything seems up to date. I tinkered around with various obscure google fixes for like 3 hours but nothing did the trick.
Then I tried them on a Win10 Laptop and it cannot see them either... Would that mean that my headphones are defective? Should...

Audiophile Hi-hi?
Do you think it's possible we can see here some hi-fi equipment?
For now the only headphone - related like: small amplifiers, cables...
but I would love to see some bigger speakers, blue-rays, speakers' cables, or more high-end amplifiers (but for Stereo/multichannel not other headphones).

Driver Panda utilizes a Planar Ribbon Driver. This driver type is a subset of planar magnetic drivers that utilizes a dual sided magnetic structure on a braced diaphragm to deliver a carefully-tuned, phase-correct sound. This driver technology has only been used in one series of headphones previously, the Oppo PM-1, PM-2, and PM-3.
Amp Feeding the Planar Ribbon Driver, you’ll find a discrete THX-AAA amplifier implementation designed by our team in collaboration with THX. This amplifier can drive Panda to comfortable listening volumes for everyone with headroom to spare. BT Chipset To handle the audio transfer + conversion, Panda features the Qualcomm QCC5124 chipset. Our implementation of this chipset supports LDAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX adaptive, AAC, and SBC. DSP Panda’s sound is the result of passive acoustic tuning, there’s no DSP in Panda. Battery Battery life is 30+ hrs, with Quick Charge giving you 3+ hrs on 10 minutes of charge via USB-C. We’re in the midst of aligning our testing criteria with the market (is bose testing at 50% volume or 20%? is sony testing with ANC on full or half? etc), but we expect Panda to exceed the battery life of major ANC headsets. Isolation Panda is fully closed and designed for strong acoustic isolation. We’re waiting on the testing lab to confirm a db measurement, but subjectively, it’s on-par with deep-sitting IEM isolation. Compatibility Panda has a passive input, enabling use with external amplifiers and non-BT devices like the Nintendo Switch. Weight Despite the battery, amplifier, and heavy drivers, we’ve been able to keep Panda’s weight under 350g. Communication Panda features dual mics on the right earcup for effective communication and virtual assistants. Materials Materials are plastic (most of it, for weight) and cast aluminum (gimble arms, hinges, etc). Earpads are a plush foam wrapped in premium protein leather. The headband is a smooth rubber (lots of care has been taken to achieve the right level of "grip", it'll stay on your head, but wont pull out your hair) and we designed the geometry of the headphone so the weight is held by the earcups instead of the headband. Clamping force is less than a new HD6XX and more than a new K7XX, I'd call it "comfortable, but certain". Price Panda’s MSRP is $399.99 Launch Timing Panda will launch at the end of January (targeting the 27th right now, may change) and units will ship closer to summer ("summer" is a reasonable range, could be sooner, just depends on details we don't know today)
