Usually Massdrop products are slightly modified than the OEM ones. How is this different than getting it from say Amazon? What's the point in waiting until Mid-Dec when you can get it within 2 days.
Does the cable has built-in Mic?
I just don't see any value addition.
HitsOfMissesNo differences, it just takes longer to ship... but depending on where you are Etys may be hard to find locally if not impossible so it might be worth waiting for, and the cable doesn't have a built-in mic even though there appears to be a lump that looks like one.
