Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value.

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."

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.”

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.”

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."
