Let me get this straight, I put up $450 in March to get my PHs in August, and unbeknownst at the time, I could have waited until the end of June to get them only one month later than I am? If these PHs ship out early, I will be livid. If you are going to continue to do this sort of thing where your customers fund production costs up front months in advance, you need to treat them like they matter or change your system for these types of drops to charge closer to shipment. Also, if these new orders are also eligible for the original HD800s and Grace Designs DAC/AMP contest, that will not go over well at all. We didn't know we would be in a prize pool that continued to grow for months and months. The ambiguity over that contest needs to be clarified. People have been asking since the PH drop ended whether the winner had been announced and if not, when, and there has been no answer from MD. Not cool.

Libby100% agree with Libby. While I love what Massdrop is doing for the audiophile community and all the hard work that gets done behind the scenes, there are certainly some issues with the business model (imo). The #1 issue being transparency! It's aggravating to still not know who won the 2 prizes from the ORIGINAL drop, while all of a sudden seeing that there's a new drop which will ship around the same time. MD thrives on their products often being "exclusive" and "limited time only", then undermines those assertions by randomly dropping products over and over again with even more random shipping dates (many of which coincide with each other). No one who's forced to buy something due to the threat of a drop ending feels good when another drop opens, months later, and ships at the same time (and is part of a newer production run).
Secondly, why so secret on the specs of the TH-X00? Is it really unfair to ask what differences the TH-X00 drivers and magnets have when compared to the TH-600 and TH-900? I suppose it is...
I LOVE the Massdrop collaborations and honestly can't wait to see the new drops everyday, but my first MD buying experience hasn't exactly been pain free.
