This still has to frost your jimmy's. If you were in the first drop and are made to wait 5/6 months and then a redrop that only holds you money for a month, frustrating. And you get your cans only one week later than those that were billed much earlier.....how cool is that! Not very if you put your cash up on the original drop.

RRM1If you put your cash up on the original drop, you got a refund of $100. I think you won't mind the additional wait just for that alone!

MaverickAHThat is not as I remember it. I am sure that the drop was always for $699.99.

RRM1The first drop started at $800, until Focal was persuaded by MD to discount the price. Since most people jumped in on later drops, they wouldn't have known about it.

emojiThanks for the clarification emoji. So I guess that is was not a refund at all but just a price cut during the drop. Now I see the confusion. Still seems more than a little unfair to those that went in early to have to wait so much longer for the cans and have absolutely no benefit other than getting the product 7 days earlier.

RRM1I was in an earlier drop and I have to say the difference in wait times really does not bother me. Obviously if I had known in advance that waiting would have allowed me to get in with virtually no delivery impact I would have waited. But on the other hand the delivery could have been even later if the re-drop was much later. You never know, so you make your decisions and take your chances, or as one of my favorite sayings goes - Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you!

RRM1These units being sold now are likely the unsold units from the first allottment.

FrostyPProbably... I imagine that at this price it will be hard to get much interest... however, if what I have read elsewhere is correct that the Elex is a “baby Utopia”... well once reviews start rolling in there might be interest in future production runs. I hope so, since I got in on the earlier drop and am expectIng my Elex to arrive in early May!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
