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...

Buying a new living room TV and looking for a decent sound system to support TV/Netflix/gaming/music etc. Wondering if this set is appropriate for such an application, given the headphone amp and usb DAC included (not sure if they would get much use). Roommate is looking at cheap soundbars, was trying to find a superior alternative at a decent price. Already have a satisfactory speaker/headphone setup for my desktop computer, so I would not use this set for that.
I should say I haven't heard these Kanto speakers but I have a set of Aperion 4B (4" analog stereo speakers) and a Boston Acoustics 8" sub that I had hooked up to a borrowed friends Kanto amp. It sounded good enough and was compact enough that I am considering purchasing one of these amps to run in a bedroom TV set up.
