Affordable Cables for All

Aug 2, 2018

Hi Massdrop,
Was wondering if you guys will be able to come up with a wallet-friendly drop for headphone and earphone cables. Good enough if they have decent purity, shielding and connectors- something like a go-to replacement cable. Hopefully under 20 USD tops? I mean, if you can drop Hifiman earphones at under 10 bucks, I'm highly confident you can do it XD
(PS: Oh yeah, make them come in an array of termination choices too, so nobody will miss out on good sound :)

Focal Elex for EU customers

[image] There's a few good headphone options for EU customers, including the 6XX and 58X, but having the option for the Focal Elex is something I'd like to see in the future.

Headphone and Audio Equipment Burn In

[image] I've been wondering lately, if anyone has experienced positive improvements after using their headphones or DACs/AMPs and cables over long periods after buying them (thinking months to years here). I personally find myself enjoying using and listening to my Sennheiser HD 598 Cs headphones and dac / amp (which I use everyday, all day in the office) more than I did when I first got them. The sound and fit is so great now, the music natural, strong and clear, so much so that I don't even want to upgrade them (even though I could at any time). I've had the whole setup for about 6 months now, and I started getting this feeling of how much more I've been enjoying it recently. Has anyone else experienced this? I know that there is the objective side to the argument (which needs to be discussed) but I'm looking at it more from a subjective, everyday use and experience perspective. I'd love to hear what other peoples' thoughts are on the topic.

Cult of Audio 'Science' Review - Amir's Faithful

I've noticed a rather lot of blind enthusiasm on these forums where people just drop a single link to an ASR 'review' without commentary as though Amir offers any authority on the subject. Amir is an ex software engineer, 'retired' Microsoft money (EDIT, Amir has corrected me, he is not a software engineer, this is my bad, his background is linked in his sig on ASF); he larps as though he understands hardware but a quick trip off the DAC reservation shows his ignorance very quickly. For instance, here he is needing to be told by one of his forum members that he can simply add a balanced cord to his HD650 to test balanced lol: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/so-what-is-a-common-balanced-headphone-for-testing.4949/ Dude seriously thought he needed an entirely new pair of headphones! LMAO. More fundamentally, he makes all sorts of commentary on spectrum shape at sub -110 dB levels, but offers no precision gauge in the form of repeated measurements...

Canadian Massdrop.ca

I am tired of import taxes every time I participate in a drop. I don't mind paying the actual price of products in USD even with the Canadian dollar doing so bad. I was wondering if there is any chance of a Canadian branch ever opening up so drops can be mailed quicker and import taxes wouldn't apply. I know there are a lot of Canadian customers who would appreciate this as well. Something similar to what Amazon.ca does. *BTW Check out The Next Best Thing Studio on youtube. Do me a favor and support a fellow Canadian ;)* http://Youtube.com/nextbestthingstudio

Looking for OPPO PMs -- Do you want to sell your pair?

Hi There, I lost my Steel Blue OPPO PM-3s in a tragic event a few months ago. (Car got stolen, got car back, headphones were gone, only thing I really wanted back). I'm interested in finding a new pair, and I'd really love the red ones or the blue ones. You can't buy them new any more, but if anyone has a used pair they'd be willing to unload, here's a buyer for you...

Is it possible to plug your 2 pin connectors into your IEMs backwards?

Hey guys, another newbie question here, is it possible to plug your 2 pin connectors to your IEM's backwards? Every other set of IEMs, when I put the connector in, the L and R are on the outside ... this particular one is towards my ear. Would I hear a difference if I reversed the pins? I am thinking I would... Thanks in advance !

MASSDROP X ALEX CAVALLI TUBE HYBRID input modes

Audiophile noob here. Does this mean that the tube amp ONLY works when the input button is extended (RCA input mode) and not when you're using micro usb as the input source? Thanks. [image]
