AveryCI ordered on 7/11 and received an email on 11/16 telling me to update shipping info by 11/19. Am I correct that if I've yet to receive a shipment notification then it won't go out for another week?

jonasjschreiberThat isn't the shipping notification, you would get a seperate notification when yours has shipped. It isn't a 100 percent change that yours will get shipped next week, but they likely will.

AveryCMan, the amount being shipped per week seems to be really sporadic. Last week, only about a thousand shipped. This week, more than six thousand. Idk what to say, but well done! I await my October drop lol

chuckolatteActually, I think it has to do with their QC. If they receive a shipment on Monday and it takes say a day or two for them to go through the shipments, then there would be objectively less headphones shipped that week by the time the weekend rolls around whereas the following week would just be filled with fulfilling orders.

GirfsterIf you've ever received a package from Massdrop on the same speed it will likely be similar, or if you've gotten a package from their region from other companies it will be similar.
Though if it's FedEx "Smart"Post then that can vary since they pretty much put packages on after regular speed shipments are loaded, so if there isn't much space on the trucks, you wait longer. I kind of wish places would use UPS SurePost more since now after a few years it's pretty much ground service plus an extra day, the day you'd normally get it on ground, the USPS would get it for the handoff and deliver it the next day. FedEx must give better rates on smartpost than UPS does on surepost or else smartpost would be dead.

AveryCI finally have my Massdrop x Sennheiser HD6XX on my hands after 5 months of waiting. This is my first ever Massdrop's purchase, and I like the headphones so much.
- Order on 29 June 2017 - Shipped out from New Jersey on 18 Nov - Received at Ezbuy's warehouse at Beaverton, Oregon on 28 Nov ( Using FedEx SmartPost) - Arrived at Singapore on 3 Dec - Delivered to my selected Ezcollect point on 4 Dec - Collected my long-awaited HD6XX on 4 Dec
For those who wants to purchase the HD6XX but living in Asia, you can consider using a forwarder shipping company to ship your item to your country.
Overall, I spend a total of SGD $302 (USD 224) to have the HD6XX, including forwarding charges.

deepsThe issue isn't with the assembly but with how long it takes Sennheiser to receive the materials to make the Massdrop version of these headphones. The March date might be because Sennheiser isn't getting the supplies until late January or February.

FarkoDACs aren't just about removing sound interference on your motherboard. Your PC generally only outputs 16 bit 44K audio which is fine for most people but if you're looking at FLAC files to go along with your shiny new 6XX for the best sound, you might want higher bit rates and those come from DACs. 24bit 96k for the Modi 2 up to 24bit 192K for the Multibit. People say higher bits give fuller sounds. Here's some comparison between the different bit rates:

Edit: I should add in that it really only matters if you have amazeball rips and not just regular MP3 320 rips.

FarkoNo one can tell you how important a dac will be to you. Many here have an opinion. Most would say a good dac makes a good set of cans better. The complete truth is you will have to try one yourself to make that determination. Choose one in your budget that has a good reputation and return policy if you cant try one out in a store. Let us know your findings.

IXeroShipping information says it is out for delivery...and I'm at work...drat. Working a 12 hour shift today so will have to wait like until about 8 tonight. Oh well, I have tomorrow off and will be listening to these sweet headphones...can't wait. Hey...at least they got delivered five days earlier than predicted. Thanks Massdrop for a fantastic drop. Had to wait a long time to get the Senns, but I bet it will be worth every minute. Merry Christmas to all!!!

OZEDThey do have a shipping point, it originates from New Jersey. I'll admit I'm quite spoiled by Amazon having warehouses not so far from me so basically everything I buy is at most 2 days away (yay Prime!), but it's fairly reasonable IMO how they do it in order to keep shipping costs from being a lot more.

AveryCYay! Apparently USPS delivered them fairly early this morning. Weird. But then I had a bunch of meetings so finally listening to them :) Sounds very good. Surprisingly my phone (HTC 10 now) can drive them quite while without having to have them maxed out. On the higher side, for sure, but not right at the top. Same thing for the Dragonfly Black I have plugged into the phone, although I find the output of that is slightly better than the phone. I've actually been fairly surprised at the quality and max output of the HTC 10's DAC/AMP.

chuckolatteReceived mine yesterday, but had to wait to get home from my 12 hour shift to listen to them. After my wife went to bed I took them out of the box, plugged them in, and...WOW! I have some Senn HD 580s and there is truly a difference. Don't get me wrong, I still love the 580s, but the HD 6XX is amazing. A big thank you to Massdrop for making this possible and a fantastic price. I'm telling my friends to check out Massdrop for some great offerings. Thanks also to the community forums for talking me through some interesting issues. Have a great Christmas everyone!!! From a satisfied Massdrop customer...

chaplndaveYup, been listening to these for about 7 hours now with music/videos/gaming. I really do like them. The only caveat to these is that my LG V20 just doesn't quite get the job done. It's loud enough, but you can DEFINITELY hear improvement when I plug them into my Magni 2 Uber instead lol. Even though I like these, I did not forget the months of anguish we went through to receive them lol. So this is probably the last time I join a drop with such a long waiting time.

The USPS rep was pretty helpful. He told me if I needed to call in again just say you want to file a complaint (even if you aren't). The call will get routed to a queue that has a 5-10min SLA.

That said no doubt if they were trying harder to sort them out it would have meant a lot later ship dates, which I prefer getting it sooner as I'm sure many would. And again based on people's SN's I had predicted mine might be in the 30k's, so it's not like I was expecting/hoping for anything low anyways.

ItsVincentHey, so I just got my HD6XX pair today. I wanted to come back and find you and see if you got your pair. I am actually sad to say that I'm pretty damn unimpressed. :(
I find there to be very very weak bass and almost no punch in a kickdrum. It's to the point where I fear I am doing something wrong but I can't think what.
I'm running a Schiit Jotunheim with the balanced DAC module with with a balanced XLR cable, made sure we are set to hi gain ... and yet the bass is VERY VERY underwhelming compared to the M-100s.
I just wanted to know your take when you have your pair to compare.
Cheers.

HypnauticaStrange, I'm not basshead and it has a ton of punch and the bass is very solid, even without using my WA6 AMP straight to PC.
Sounds almost bassier than my HD650 but probably due to brand new ear pads vs few years old ones.

AveryCHey there everyone,
So I got my pair today and I need some input. I know that because of all the wait that I will have overhyped the expectations a bit. But I find myself VERY underwhelmed.
The main problem that I perceive is that these headphones seem so have very weak bass and also very weak punch/clarity on something like a kickdrum to me. I tend to like to listen to Ethereal Techno type stuff. For example check out music from "Tale of Us".
I am running a Schiit Jotunheim with the DAC module. A balanced XLR cable. I have made sure that the amp is set to high gain. Strictly WAV files.
Is this just what I should expect from these headphones? I have upgraded from V-Moda M100s ... and while I understand that the HD6XX is an open pair of cans compared to the M100s being mostly closed. It's an extremely significant change/loss in the amount of bass.
I suppose this is my first pair of "audiophile" headphones but I am just so shocked. I also know that they probably need about 100 hours of play to break in but man oh man.
Am I doing something wrong? Have I set something up incorrectly?
Perhaps a silly question but if I am using the Jotunheim and the source for my music is my computer by way of USB using the DAC module, the unit is still using the amp right? I mean, I assume it is because I can hear a difference with high and low gain settings.
I'm just very confused and would welcome advice.
Thank you!!!

I guess the clarity of everything above about 120Hz in the HD6XX is pretty darn good but the bass is SO much less than the M100s it was a serious shock. I guess I just want to know that you experience something similar then I suppose it's just a difference I will need to get used to. But if you experience something different then I'll know to worry that there's something wrong with my pair haha.

I'm sure I just need more time to get used to headphones that are by nature dramatically different that the M100s which really are only fashion cans. Like the clarity of the HD6XXs is huge. I'll give it more time.

At least I know something is happening but clearly I won't get my HD6XX by the Christmas. It's pretty amazing how much time has been wasted. Two days from US to Germany, 10 days to transfer 25 km within Germany.

RautanenIs there not going to be any official response from Massdrop?
They stopped using DHL in the US after years of complaints, yet when it comes to international orders, this was ignored.
In 2 days, it'll be 2 weeks since my order shipped, and it still looks like i'm nowhere near getting it. 2 weeks is supposed to be the upper limit for this shipping.
What infuriates me even more is the lack of tracking updates, I have no idea if it's just sitting in the same place, or if they aren't bothering to report its location.
I am fine with waiting months after a drop, so that the product can be manufactured, but it's not acceptable for the shipping to be this ridiculous.
It's been a poor first experience with Massdrop for me.

That 7 hour drive (hamburg to copenhagen) somehow took 3 days, and so 2 days ago it arrived at my local distribution center, where it still lays. Never seen such absurd shipping times.

HypnauticaTo my surprise USPS delivered my package at 5am today and after having listening to the HD6XX for a few hours I can definitely say I actually prefer them over the M-100s. They’re more comfortable for me to wear and now the M-100s just feel very small. I‘m using a JDS Labs Element and I can see what you’re saying about the HD6XX feeling like it’s lacking bass. With the V-Modas you feel the rumble way more than with the HD6XX but after having listened to the Sennheisers the V-Modas sound really hazy in comparison to the HD6XX. These are my initial impressions on them for now.

Open soundstage is awesome and you can hear alot more details in thr music then a close back headphone can. Invest in a headphone amp and dac if you havent yet so that they you can get the most sound out of your headphones.

HypnauticaI agree with you regarding your initial thoughts on the bass response from the HD 6XX. Especially coming from my Sony MDR-Z7 on which the bass is so deep and thick that makes the music sound beautifully rich. Or my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 that although has less bass extension than the MDR-Z7 is punchier and tighter so it provides a satisfying result when listening to Metal.
However, after just a few hours listening to the HD 6XX I can say that I absolutely LOVE them! And I could list all of the reasons why, but I will try to stick to your concern. I admit that at first I heard them a bit bass shy, but let's also keep in mind that my other two references are on the bassy side of sound and also both are closed-back (although the Z7 should fit more in the semi-open type). Taking all of that in consideration I still consider that the HD 6XX are incredibly good in reproducing a natural and balanced sound in all departments.
The way I see it is that liking and loving these headphones it's somewhat an acquired taste, especially if the music type you listen to is bass heavy. For example, so far I prefer to listen to Daft Punk's Random Access Memories or Katy Perry's Witness on my MDR-Z7. I absolutely love how Katatonia's The Fall of Hearts and Lunatic Soul's Fractured sound in my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 But then I find myself enjoying Big Big Train's Second Brightest Star and Porcupine Tree's In Absentia more with the HD 6XX due to its uber clarity and overall tonal balance.
My recommendation is for you to give them more time; they are definitely a worth pair of headphones! It's possible that you are just so used to the V-shaped sound from your V-Moda (no pun intended). Ultimately, if you are planning on keeping both, I would suggest you to use them with a music genre that suits the headphones and YOU the most.

Steve-CastI've heard that they can lose a bit of bass if not properly driven, so people should make sure they have a DAC that can actually push through those 300 ohms. Additionally, I've heard good things on Head-Fi about using a parametric EQ to up the bass on these.

WowlThe bass is plenty enough trough the phone even. It's extremely clean so and even better with a dedicated amp dac. And if I'm not mistaken isn't it the amp that pushes the 300ohms not the dac? The DAC just enables different bit rates on the music quality and convertes the sound when needed.

FarkoIndeed, I think you're right. I've not looked into source technology much at all.
Just passing on what I've picked up with very unfaithful reproduction. Many people, probably especially here on Massdrop probably come from bassier phones. I myself have no experience with advanced headphones (excited for this), but I thought they could try it out of they really find it not to be sufficient after trying to get used to it. I'll probably only be boosting the sub bass a little bit.

WowlYeah same with me, I'm a basshead and really enjoy very bass songs and EQs when available. I have listened to bass lackluster headphones before and speakers and the music really felt unlisteble. But I never really owned any high quality headphones only different types of gaming headphones all closed back. But these ones don't have that kind of bass where it's shaky so to speak it felt none existent at first because I wasn't used but when I heard how clean the bass punches were it gave an entirely different feeling listening to bass songs than before and Damn I do prefer this kind of bass much more.

WowlI agree with you. I particularly love them just the way they are. They have more than enough bass for me, and I am simply delighted with the overall tonal balance they have. So far they have shined with my Schiit Magni 2!
But I was trying to address Hypnautica 's concern as he felt that these cans should provide more bass than the one he was hearing. That's where I guess a bit of background is needed, especially if someone is coming from a bass-oriented pair of headphones like the V-Moda's in his case or the Momentum 2.0 in mine.
Thank you for sharing the information about Parametric EQ, I've come to enjoy music the way it was recorded, without additional EQ but might as well give it a chance in the future.

That's where I guess a bit of background is needed, especially if someone is coming from a bass-oriented pair of headphones like the V-Moda's in his case or the Momentum 2.0 in mine.

Steve-CastI have a pair of Momentum 2.0 over ear and i love them so much. I did never hear open back headphones.
Do you think i can enjoy the HD6XX?
I listen to Rock (new and old), Pop and Electro but i also use them for Netflix and gaming.
I do have a good creative sound card in my PC that amps up to 600ohm headphones.

KukoCLI think you will. I enjoy my set with pretty much any genre, but I think they shine even more with acoustic genres like rock and orchestral. Bottom line, get them. I don't think you'll regret it. Just keep in mind of the wait for these lol

KukoCLI'm glad to hear you love your Momentum 2.0, I do as well! They're simply a great pair of headphones.
Now, would you enjoy the HD 6XX? my immediate answer would be: Absolutely! Being the case that you already know and love Sennheiser's sound signature it will please your ears to have an upgraded version from the Momentum 2.0 in many departments, like clarity, separation, soundstage and accuracy, just to name a few.
Yes, the Momentum 2.0 will have more of a punchy bass due to it's closed back nature, but the HD 6XX are in no way behind. It's just that the bass you will hear from the HD 6XX will be more natural and precise (like if the bass on the Momentum 2.0 was not precise enough already).
And I could really go on with the many things I love about these 2 headphones but ultimately I can tell you that I recommend the HD 6XX as a true high-end product, I'm just amazed by how good these headphones sound, and I'm pretty sure that you would think the same if you end up getting them.

KukoCLyou will LOVE them, i do at least, my headphone collection is pretty small, HE4xx,AKG702 annies,HD6xx, HD598, sony md7506, my two favs are the hifimans and these and honestly it'd be hard to say which one i prefer over the other, i do think the style and build quality on the hifimans is absolutely stellar but they are also a bit heavy and large due to that, beyond that though the HD6xx has become my jack of all trades headphones, they seem to work well enough with my samsung galaxy s8 to get me through a plane flight and really just come alive when i get them home and plug them into my system, i don't think i really understood the saying "scales well" until i had these guys, they just seem to be pretty darn good regardless of what i am using them with..that said my S8 phone with no amp or dac is my baseline, don't really have anything "weaker" than that...well maybe my, nintendo switch can also power these to acceptable levels too...
i listen mostly to rock and all of it's various flavors and derivatives myself, they are great for this.

cadopWe have to say "thank you" to Poste Italiaote if we are still waiting ! One month of customs clearence, can you believe it?! I've send them tons of mail: no reply.
I ordered mine in October too, and according to them, I have recieved mine today! Right! Now i have to go to the post office...of the nearby city! Jesus...they send the stuff in the wrong place, not even able to read .
And after all this joys, 60€ ready to fly away due to customs charges, this was just the cherry on top. End here?

MunsetYea, youre not alone, i think massdrop should look for different ways of shipping if people want to receive sooner or something. I wouldnt mind paying extra just so i dont have to wait months of shipping.
Its all nice having lowered prices, but its all ruined by absurd shipping times. Why choose the cheapest courier? People need options :(

kirbisiMassdrop can do absolutely fuck all about your countries customs officials taking forever.
Massdrop and it's employees have zero control over ANYTHING once the package has landed in customs.
Massdrop can't control tariffs, they can't control import fees or taxes, they can't control how long it takes.
complaining to Massdrop about this sort of thing is asinine. i feel bad for you guys and wish that's not the way things were and it would be nice if massdrop could help you but they can't and asking for help on some of this stuff is kinda stupid.
your shipping time is likely being held up by customs, it's not like Massdrop decided to ship your headphones via donkey with water wings so that it would take 4 months to get there across the Atlantic. paying more for faster shipping just means that it would get to customs quicker and still sit there for a period of dam near 4 months.
.....why do i even have to say any of this? it's kinda dumb to be blaming Massdrop for any of this.

TheIzzardKingI will repeat. Massdrop should look for other couriers so users can choose who will deliver their shipment. As i remember DHL was the only choice, theres no reason not having express shipping or something which would guarantee faster delivery. Its been on most online shops for years.
It didnt take 4 months to transfer shipment across Atlantic. It took exactly one day. Shipped 7.12. In Germany 8.12. Of course its DHL's fault that they didnt care to move it for the next month, but at the same time part of it is Massdrop's responsibility, was anyone given any other choice? And i dont want hear any BS they were held at customs or something. What, when its in EU it had to wait in 5 different facilities to clear customs? All the import tax and VAT had to be paid only after they checked it out at local customs in my country.
Some people just seem to missing the point what really angers peoples. Its not Massdrop's policy, its that shipping and its updates make no sense what so ever.

kirbisi" What, when its in EU it had to wait in 5 different facilities to clear customs? "
yes, exactly that.
we get your point, but it's wrong, maybe if everyone is trying to tell you something you should listen no?
if you google your problem you will see hundreds if not thousands of people having the same issue, the only difference is they are blaming customs and not DHL or Massdrop. I'm sure DHL would love to just deliver the package straight to your door, every time they touch the package just adds more cost on their end.
785,000 results for the problem you are having, again a VERY common problem that has nothing to do with massdrop or DHL. https://www.google.com/search?q=package+stuck+in+german+customs&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b

Syrento349I've had these headphones for a while now, they are fantastic. Great sound stage, crystal clear, comfortable and light. The only thing missing is proper bass.
