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...

That being said, it is a really nice, solid, pretty stylin' headphone stand which both easily supports my Sennheiser HD 800's sturdily and also matches their color scheme to boot.
For US buyers, you can't go wrong with this stand at this price. For CDN buyers, if you're willing to eat the conversion rate plus the COD charges, it's a worthy piece of gear that looks like it belongs in a high-end setup. While the final cost is higher than expected because of this, I've also looked around and it's hard to find as sturdy and nice a headphone stand at this price.
To the folks at Massdrop - I love what you guys are doing with the epic drops, especially the HD 6XX which I was lucky enough to also snag (which I anticipate is also gonna carry a hefty COD charge as well :|)... but please, if you can, find a shipper that will ship to Canada without COD charges. It would be nice to see the all-in shipping cost before hand; I can tell you that tons of my friends would also be interested in the drops, but they also worry about the shipping / COD costs.
Please do keep this in mind for your friends north of the 49th parallel, and again, thank you and keep the good times droppin' :D
