There's already been how many Philips Fidelio X2 votes on how many different threads and Massdrop hasn't updated anyone in how long or what the hold up is !! Just waiting for another price drop on Amazon to around the $250 range and their mine
It may be that Phillips will not allow a discount on these if they are very, very, popular and already a huge value. Maybe they also take a small cut. Perhaps there's no room to work with these cans..... What evidence do you have that Massdrop plays "favorites"? I'm somewhat new to this whole concept.
