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...

I just want to put this kind of stuff together and there really isn't a whole lot out there.
It would be cool to get some DIY audio on Massdrop. Just finished building my Bottlehead Crack not that long ago and the experience of building it and learning to solder was worthwhile indeed.
Anyways... it's not like any of us DIY people would expect a warranty or anything. I think the worst thing that would happen is that people would need help, but it would be so easy to just dedicate a forum somewhere where everyone can help each other out and post a disclaimer stating that no official troubleshooting beyond a basic instruction manual would be provided and all sales are final, etc, etc, etc...
I'll have to go peruse that website at some point and see if anything looks like something I'd want to put in the time to find and put together.
