Hmm. These are exactly what I’m looking for. If they do what they say.

You should do a reality check on their Indigogo page. Repeated failures in delivery, and major quality control issues to the point that backers don't know if the failures are in the manufacturing, or in the design itself. Now we've already funded upfront, we can't get out and can only hope we're not too screwed over by this company.

Will the batteries on these bad boys be user replaceable at their end of life?

Well .. if it happens the same with the DT 177X GO, where the test units sounded different from the production units... these "First Impressions" means nothing to me. I am waiting for the reviews of the production units

How fragile is the headband? I want to buy this but I'm worried, Momentums are about the only headphones I can take outside and trust to not break within a few months.
Also, what delivery service are you going to use? It can be important because they can have different ways to pay import tax for different countries and I'd like to know if I should order to Russia or to EU, which entirely depends on the delivery service that's used (DHL, UPS, snail mail, etc).

The joints and moving pieces were all cast aluminum specifically to strengthen the connection. The band should be plastic, but who knows what type and how thick it may be.

The firmware update did not harm noise cancellation on my pair FWIW, so I suspect a minority of users have issues. Sound quality can be rather subjective as well; I also have no complaints over the sound quality of the Sony headphones personally. They bring quality sound and noise cancelling at a competitive price.
Regarding this set: I can’t justify a preorder without reviews of the final product. As others have stated, bait and switch can be a real issue.

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).

Drop THX Panda, HD 6xx, or Jubilee 58x?
I have always been into music but new to the audiophile scene. I am deciding whether or not I should get the Drop THX Panda, Jubilee 58x, or the HD 6xx with the schitt Magni 3+ and Modi 3+. If I were to get the Panda's I would not get the DAC or AMP. I listen to a wide variety of music but mostly Hip-hop, R&B, Gospel, EDM, Classical, Reggaeton, Rock, and more. I do like bass to a certain extent and I have read that the 58x have more bass than the 6xx. Due to Covid, I have been doing a lot less traveling but I also have a pair of Bose QC25's and Airpod pro's that I use for when I do need to travel. However, after upgrading my phone it no longer has an aux cord and I have noticed a drop in quality with the lightning to aux adapter and it has bothered me quite a bit. I used to get goosebumps when listening to certain tracks but I just don't get that anymore. This has led me to do more research and luckily I was able to find this great community. I am very picky when it comes to many...

New Mono Block power Amplifiers ?
Looking to upgrade to some D-SONIC mono blocks they are made in the USA and are highly rated in the audiophile community. Are there any folk on here that think it might be good to raise it as a drop buy ?

Starter HP Amp ($100 range)
My SSL 2 audio interface’s internal HP amp is not getting my new HD6xx quite loud enough. If I want to start with an HP amp (and perhaps add a DAC at a later date), would something like the Schitt Magni 3+ or Heresy (don’t really know how these two models differ) refrain from “coloring” the audio while adding some extra volume (for a 300 ohm HP)?
Also, would I be able to connect the HP amp from the HP out jack (1/4” stereo) from the interface? If that is the correct connection, I would need an amp with either dual rca mono, 1/4” stereo, or 1/8” stereo inputs.
Thanks for our help.

Jude, Founder Head-Fi - "The DROP + THX Panda is an audiophile-class wireless (and wired) planar ribbon headphone with a rich tonal balance and excellent detail. I love that the Panda was tuned acoustically (no DSP), supports high-resolution Bluetooth with aptX HD and LDAC, and has an integrated THX AAA amplifier. I measured the DROP + THX Panda in Head-Fi's measurement lab, and its frequency response and extraordinarily low THD were essentially identical in both wireless and wired modes!"
Marv Chen, SBAF - "In comes Drop to resurrect the PM-3 as the Panda, but their style, has added their flourishes: revised tuning, a THX AAA amp with feedforward distortion correction, and wireless Bluetooth functionality. How 'bout that? How many of you guys were wishing there was a wireless PM3? Well you guys got your wish." Linus Tech Tips: "Wireless headphones for the people who actually care about audio quality - who would have thunk it, right? You've got to try them. I think these are a game changer" Mad Lust Envy, Gaming Headphone Reviewer: "For the everyday Joe looking to get just one serious pair of headphones for every purpose wether at home, on the go, or at work, the Panda is hell of an option" El Jefe Reviews: "Top dogs as far as sound quality goes these are gonna be the way to roll. And there's some tough competition out there, you've got the Sony XM3s, Bose 700s, these are going to be the king in Bluetooth headphones." BadSeedTech, Audiophile & Product Reviewer: "Bold statement time: The Panda is the best-sounding commuter Bluetooth headphone out there. Better than Bose, Sony, and Beyerdynamic." Press
9To5Toys - “Overall, Panda is a great package for the $399 MSRP. The combination of planar drivers, THX-AAA amp, and the promise of Sony LDAC make it a fully featured pair of headphones with 30 hours of battery life for audiophiles who want the convenience of wireless audio. The sound that comes out is very neutral and packs plenty of power.”
CES's 2020 Editorial picks award - "What you'll actually want to buy this year: They sound stunning, especially for the incredibly reasonable $399 price point."
HiFiTrends - "These Extraordinary Drop + THX Panda Planar Magnetic Wireless Headphones Have Some Sensational Tech!"
Headphonist - "It's been a while since we've seen a true wireless headphone aimed at audio enthusiasts and not just being developed to butt-heads over best ANC on the market (Looking at you, Sony WH-1000XM3)."
Samma3a - "Lately, Drop has been teaming up with the likes of THX to release some very interesting and well-regarded headphone amplifiers. But now, they’ve gone ahead and teamed up with THX once again to release something brand new: a set of wireless headphones. They’re called the Panda headphones and they seem to offer quite a lot of value on paper.”
MorningStar and Forex TV - "THX Showcases Innovation at CES with launch of new THX Certified Game Mode and partner products featuring THX Certification and Technologies"
Sound & Vision Reporter - "Panda Audiophile Wireless Headphones Get THX Badge"
Android Central and CordCutters.com - "Drop is debuting Panda, a pair of ultra-high-quality headphones for $399. These headphones utilize THX's new AAA technology to not only deliver better audio quality than ever, but also better battery life than you could imagine."
Engadget - "I got to try a quick demo of spatial audio on the ZMBIZI smartphone using the just-announced Panda headphones from Drop and THX. Blasting Pink Floyd's ‘Money’ through the Pandas sounded great no matter what setting was activated, but it actually sounded best on the THX-enhanced stereo setting to me."
Stay tuned for our official launch on IndieGoGo on January 27th. Thanks so much for your support. We can’t wait to deliver these groundbreaking wireless headphones to the community.
