The Magister Light retails for $488, not $880. Might want to get that fixed, or at least reflected correctly, with the upgrade option, etc

Llspoon"Note: This drop is for the Magister Lights. At checkout, you can upgrade to the Magister Standards (+ $350)."
And you're not looking at this drop.

echinekoWhen this drop first happened, it didn't mention anything about the Lights... So yes, *now* i'm wrong.

echinekoStill makes me laugh how many of you comment on a completely pointless number that doesn't matter in anyway when making a decision to buy something or not.

Sep 27, 2016

LlspoonThat mention was there when I posted my first comment, that's WHY I posted it. So you've been wrong from the start.

Sep 27, 2016

ElectronicVicesAn inflated MSRP makes something seem a better deal than it actually is. You think it's pointless, that's your opinion. I think it absolutely does matter when determining if something is worth buying during a "sale"

echinekoIf you're using MSRP/List Price/etc. in your purchasing decisions you are doing it wrong. This is a suggested price set by the manufacturer NOT a price set by the retailer/reseller. There is zero obligation to sell at MSRP and very very few items actually do so. Instead of fixating on the MSRP you should really be taking into account the "retail" or "street price" of an item (price it has actually been sold for). This can be determined by a quick google search as well as tools such as this: http://camelcamelcamel.com/
Also do not confuse MAP with retail price. MAP is the Minimum Advertised Price and is the reason you have to "add to cart" to see price on several sites. If a retailer advertises below the MAP they could lose their distribution/authorized seller status.
There is no room for argument here, you have no ground to stand on, other than ignorance of pricing models and terminology.

ElectronicVicesThat's a nice wall of text there, but smug as it may be, you ignore the following:
1. Massdrop is obviously going off MSRP to try and make it look like a deal, and it's not me who decided to base my judgement on this. 2. Even given this, they should at least provide the correct MSRP, and not try to exaggerate the value further.
As I said previously, inflating the MSRP to make it seem a better deal is what I take issue with. Coincidentally, I also haven't seen these particular models selling for less than MSRP (outside of seasonal sales) elsewhere, have you?

ilikeit1No, MSRP stands for Manufacturer SUGGESTED Retail Price. It's quite common for products to be listed for less 24/7. That said manufacturers can do things to enforce pricing on companies selling their product. I know of a chair company that never allows sales(xmas or otherwise), so the only way around it businesses have is selling it with a free gift, in that case free foot rest.

echinekoAll they did was list the full MSRP of the Magister headphones, they are/were offering both versions so there was never an exaggeration to begin with. I know "too many words"... you probably didn't read that part of the drop description. The Magister Light MSRP is the one you see now ($488.00) because Massdrop saw the response from people like yourself. I agree that Massdrop should have listed both of the MSRP's so as not to provide partial information but you obviously have the internet so put it to use and do some research. If you think Massdrop is trying to rip you off better send some hate mail this way : https://www.jdslabs.com/products/95/kennerton-magister-headphones/ as they are selling at 899 which is a tad above MSRP.
Thanks for proving my point on "ignorance of terminology" as what exactly would you say I was "proud of". I for one would like to see actual discussion on the topic of the headphones being sold. I've stopped reading a lot of these threads because its cluttered with posts like yours which add zero value to the community Massdrop is trying to build here.
(in case you need clarification: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=smug )
Edited to point out that "shite" reaction was from echineko and to add the best description for my original post is: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=contempt

ElectronicVicesAre you trying to say the "61% off" tag earlier was accurate as well? Because guess what, neither version was ever that much of a discount. Caveat emptor and all that, but that's surely a bit much?
Thanks for assuming I can't / didn't read the whole post as well, eh? And no need for googling smug, your entire post reeks of it. You've got the condescension down pat, I'm done here.
Edit: Yes, I think it was fitting, given your responses and attitude thus far. All I did was call out the incorrect MSRP, inflated discount % for this drop, that has since been rightly corrected. I stand by it, and will continue to do so.

echinekoI will concede on the point that the percentage did calculate inaccurately, but I would chalk that up to system limitations and human oversight as the change to the numerical MSRP would indicate. It is readily apparent you cannot interpret the true intentions of my posts and as such thank you for reaffirming my decision to stop reading these discussions. I wish you the best of luck in life...

Ringing in PC38X's

I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?

Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x

Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!
