amoeba1126Claiming that 'quantity is limited' gives a false impression that you're going to own something unique that won't be available much longer. Clearly this claim is not truthful.

mezastelLeaving aside the folly of purchasing great sounding mid-tier headphones due to the belief of them being some sort of limited production run (we will get to this later), there is no “wrong impression” or false claims being provided here and anyone feeling that way is a result of their own misunderstandings.
To begin with "Quantity is limited" simply means a hard number between 0 and infinite. Massdrop can have 1 or a trillion of these units and the quantity will still be limited. Once all of those units are sold, people who want them new will have to press ‘Request’ until Massdrop gets another batch from Fostex and then there will be a new limited quantity of available units. Fostex is not endlessly making these. They are only making them as long as Massdrop can provide demand for another order. The term you are looking for is actually limited edition or production run.
Secondly, Massdrop has been up front since the beginning that they will continue trying to provide new batches until everyone who wants one, has one. If any individuals ignored this and continued with their own delusions that this was a limited production run or limited edition, that is entirely their fault and no one else’s, definitely not due to any fault of Massdrop. Great headphones should never be limited run/edition.
Lastly, how stupid is it to buy headphones not for how great they sound, but on the belief that they are a limited production run or limited edition of Fostex headphones. Headphones are not clothes or shoes or jewelry. They are not a fashion statement. You can buy fashionable headphones, but ultimately the primary purpose is still listening to music.

amoeba1126It's just annoying. Every time I look at latest drops I see the same things all the time. Sort by newest - oh they're "new" every day. Sort by ending soonest - oh they're "ending" today (again). Sort by recommended - oh they're also the first things recommended for me!
