Oppo went out of business, so the PM-3 isn't an option anymore. In the <$500 range, my pick is the Audeze mobius, though it doesn't really isolate at all and I personally find the headband super uncomfortable.

That’s a shame, didn’t know they went out of business, but it looks like they never fell of the map. They seem popular with a lot of enthusiasts. I also see a lot of complaints that the Oppo PM-3 was a bit boring. I found a used Mobius on Yahoo Auction floating around $200 USD after Japanese yen conversion. Do you think it’s worth it? I’m going to check it out at the local Yodabashi Camera to give it a listen.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻

The mobius only just came out, so it's probably only lightly used. Seller probably got it from the indiegogo campaign. So yeah, I think it's worth it. That said, sound signature of the "music" preset is not that far off from the pm3, but neither sounds similar to the 1770.

PC38X and PC37X with EPOS H6PRO magnetic detachable microphone
Would anyone like to see Drop collaborate with EPOS on releasing versions of the PC37X and PC38X with the EPOS H6PRO magnetic detachable microphone? The current microphone isn't terrible, but it feels a bit dated and is far too bulky. The EPOS H6PRO microphone is slimmer and has a slightly longer arm. It would also be great if they came with a basic pop filter to put over the microphone and maybe even an all white colourway?

Hi, could it be possible to make the Koss ESP Leather Carrying Case available to buy on Drop for those outside north America?
I wanted to buy it when I bought my ESPs from the last run here on Drop but it was sold out everywhere. It's on sale again on Koss website but they only ship to U.S.A or Canada so I'm wondering if there's enough people interested to maybe have a run of this beauty on Drop. Anyone?

Edition XS vs Anada, Focal Elex, or other similarly priced competitors?
Looking for my endgame. I read XS is great and might be what I’m looking for. I have he400se’s and i like them. I have shuoer s12’s which i like as well. I want to skip small upgrades and go straight for gold.

Anything Else Like This?
Has anyone seen higher end versions of these multi out headphone amps? I'm looking into remote recording, tracking, and monitoring setups where many musicians can dock their headphones in the same setup, but I feel there have to be higher end options than this. Any work arounds or better brands one may suggest? FWIW I do enjoy Mackie speakers. Mackie HM-4 Desktop Headphone Amplifier | Sweetwater

2. A headband that supports well, is comfortable, adjusts well, and has excellent clamping force. I like a good seal. If I need it looser, I can bend it myself or break it in using a thick stack of books.
3. Brands? I’m always sticking to the tried and true, but I’m adventurous, I love new technology and innovation. I’m willing to try new equipment if there is independent third-party testing from credible sources/reviewers. That said: a. Beyerdynamic - the DT1770 Pro b. OPPO - the PM-3 c. Sennheiser- the 820 [the things I would do in a dark alley in Shibuya for this], but I’ll settle for a 599 sealed variant. The 598cs is fine too.
Haven’t tried NAD, Fostex, or V-Moda yet. I tried the ATH-M50X, wasnt my cup of tea. I liked the DT770 pro 250, but I want something a touch more classy. I own the HD58X, HE4XX, and Meze 99 Neo. If anyone has any great suggestions, I’m open to dumping money on my search for the holy grail of sealed sound.
