What gives with the delivery times?
I do not mean to come across as hostile in any way, but I need some perspective from my fellow Europeans regarding shipping and how long it takes.
I'm from Slovenia, not that far away from Germany, which is where my 58X Jubilees supposedly left over a month ago. I made my purchase on March 11th, Drop sent out the package to DHL and it arrived in Frankfurt Germany on March 17th and from what I can tell, the package was processed and sent out towards me. Here is the problem; Nothing, and I mean NOTHING in the history of EVER has taken this long to arrive from Germany to Slovenia. To claim otherwise would be absurd. Since the 17th, there has been 0 progress made in the location of my order.

To my experience, packages that go thru Frankfurt Airport from outside the EU can be hold back by customs for a couple of weeks with no progress. It's definetly German customs to blame and not Drop.

My 58X is also still on the way. Mine is stuck for over a week in Belgian customs for some reason. Doesn't really happen with other deliveries.

In my case, the delay is mainly from my country's postal service. Drop has shipped pretty fast, but after it has reached India (in Asia, just in case you are not aware - not to insult your general knowledge :) ), it seems to 'pause' for a long time. We are in a lockdown, but the postal services are still working.
My Senn HD 6xx got delivered after more than 2 months. Lol, I believe you even without screen shots. My Topping D10 is stuck in China for more than a month now, not even reached India. Then, the wait continues. I am a 43 yr old waiting like a 5 yr old kid for his favorite toy.
You are not the only one. I will suggest something counter-intuitive (and you might not like it). Please reconsider pursuing it with the postal/courier folks, and only send a note to Drop. It will replace a product if its lost. After a certain point, the risk is in losing your mind, rather than the headphones. BTW, I am enjoying the headphones.

I'm experiencing something similar. After a long delay just to get an in-stock package out of Drop's own warehouse, it was finally shipped to Europe. Unfortunately, it was then held by customs, which is where it remains stuck after a full week. Only Drop can enquire as to the status or reason for the delay and they won't answer emails or open support tickets. Zero response. This is my first experience with Drop and while I understand delays and complications under the circumstances, the lack of communication is unacceptable. Are they typically this bad?

Did you encounter the “Covid” excuse ? Which is Drops go to excuse. You ask Drop where is my order, they reply it’s delayed due to Covid! What BS.

wofseI did, every single time infact. Don't get me wrong, delays due to covid are understandable, but not of this magnitude. That's just an excuse for not keeping up their end of the deal.

I feel for you. I had a nice system ordered months ago. We just have to understand that things will take a while to get to normal. I see this as mostly political but good practice for something really bad. There are bugs out there that are deadly. If one break out we have to be ready. The things we learn from this could save the world someday.

Another little update for anyone following this discussion:
After getting nowhere with both DHL and Drop, seeing my package remain stationary for over a month, I was ready to demand a chargeback from my creditcard company. I let Drop's support know this and told myself if I was given another canned, copy-pasted reply with changed dates that I would proceed with this plan.
A day or 2 after my message (which was quite long, elaborative and demanding) I got my reply and wouldn't you know it, I'm met with the same "wait another 2 weeks" mantra that I've been given since my 1st time contacting Drop support. The very next day, mere moments before I was about to call my credit card company and talking about how a chargeback would be initiated, I check my tracking and see that my package has FINALLY arrived at my country customs, where it's currently being held.
I am incredibly disappointed that it took threatening a chargeback to get the package moving. It's been a month, an entire freaking months since my package landed in Germany and it took 30 days to move it 300 miles? Even if it's finally moved, there is no excuse for this piss poor shipping and lack of transparency and openness from Drops side. I'm now expecting my order to arrive in tip-top condition, or there will be hell to pay.

In my case, Drop was ready to cancel the order and reimburse, but I opted not to. The package arrived much later, and it is in perfect condition - the packaging and the headphones. It might be DHL or your postal service that's the reason for the delay.

Ringing in PC38X's
I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
