Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

However the one thing that i can see being issues for more mainstream users is the balance of them both. these are by comparison to the sorts of things youl see in the likes of John Lewis, err Target? sorry dont really know american shops that would sell audio stuff. and if thats a bit long hit the TLDR to my circa 500 word quick review. So then i put the RE-00 in my ears the other day and holy crap!!! they are jaw dropping good. they are practically the RE-0 which wade headfi go nuts when they fell to US$100 but these are now on offer for US$35. Seriously, i dont know how and its not that they are perfection but acoustically they pretty much are. then for the price tag, seriously, seriously super good.
oh and if you care my review of the RE-00 is coming soon but id suggest if youre even slightly interested, order a pair now, dont wait for me to post it.
