Is this a solution to listen to lossless on Apple Music on iPhone with a pair of regular earphones (by regular I mean with a Jack) ?

Don't head much of a difference between ATH m50x, HD 58x and HE 4xx
As the title says, I don't hear any big difference between these headphones. I originally had the ATH m50x for some time and was content. However, a few weeks ago, I read that a lot of people were saying that it wasn't that good of a pair of headphone and there were many better ones out there. 2 of which, were the HD 58x jubilee and the Hifiman He 4xx. So I ordered these 2 headphones and have been using them with my desktop for the last couple of weeks. I bought these 2 because I heard that open-back headphones sounded different from closed-back, and that the sound stage between these 2 were also completely different. However, if I am being completely honest, I don't head much of a difference between these 3 headphones. I am a little disappointed now though because after spending so much money I honestly don't think it was much of an upgrade. Are my ears just broken, or is there something that I am missing that make people praise these massdrop headphones and bash the ATH m50x?

Kinera released an updated version of their first flagship IEMs, Odin. The Odin 2.0 really caught my attention because of the beautiful faceplates. I haven't really heard any all-ba iems except the Dunu SA6. Wondering how it sounds. Any input/ feedback will be appreciated!

Sennheiser HD6XX or HIFIMAN HE5XX? or Other?
Hey all, Not quite an audiophile, but a music lover and creator and could use some advice. First open-back pair I'll have purchased in a while. Had a pair of Grados, but sold as I never found time to listen with them in the right environment. Now that I'm working from home, feels like the right time to purchase, but of course listening through speakers when I can too! This is my lineup today for context, so might be nice to find something that fits within: Meze 99 Classics Audioquest NightOwl Airpods (Not pro, never like deep in-ear and headaches w/ ANC) Audio-Technica ATH-M50xbt (Arriving today in the mail. For work calls and listening on-the-go, have always gotten headaches and nausea from ANC; these seem like the best solution w/o. I did order the Sony XM4s just to do one final test, but will likely get the same headache and I've read they don't sound as good with ANC turned off, or when used with a wire. High hopes for the ATs as they seem to maintain the standard M50x...

My order disappeared!
I ordered 6xx headphones to be shipped *tomorrow* but I checked today, and my order has mysteriously disappeared! I have a receipt from paypal, and they've taken my money, but my order is nowhere to be found onsite. Help!

Customer support on returns
I can't find a phone number to contact Drop. I'm pretty sure they don't have one. I'm trying to process a return and I'm pretty sure I checked out as a guest when purchasing instead of logging into my account. I now realize this was a mistake because contacting customer support is a nightmare. When I try to process a return under my account the transaction is not there and there is no way to manually enter one to create a ticket. I emailed customer service on Monday for the return with my order number and sku# for return. It's Wednesday and I have yet to receive a reply. Let me know how to proceed, Jason

There are website retailers who put the country of origin on all of their listings. Sierra Trading Post (now part of the TJ Maxx family, unfortunately), or Fat Brain Toys (where you can even select country of origin in your search!) Some people could care less where what they purchase is manufactured. Some of us do care, and prefer to direct our funds to countries with common values. I for one am not willing to pay first world prices for second or third world labor. Would you buy a Rolex watch for $10,000 made in China if Rolex moved their operation there? The wealthy population of China certainly would not. They know better.
In today's world, we cannot reasonably escape purchasing products made in China. After all, I am typing this on an Apple keyboard attached to an iMac. Wouldn't it have been cool had Apple's base of manufacturing been kept here in the USA? Or if not here, then Canada? Ireland? South Africa?
It would do no harm for all websites that sell products to put the country of origin in plain view with the other specifications. The word "imported" is commonly used on many websites and in catalogs. This is a veiled attempt at "made somewhere you're not going to be happy about when it arrives at your house." To the retailers I say, If you are not ashamed of where the products you're selling come from, then show us right up front.
