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 use HM5 angled pads with 2-3 paper towels inside each ear and a foam insert ontop of that and have done the bass mod. Then I power them with a Modi 2 Uber and Objective O2 Amplifier and I use DFX Audio Enhancer and have Ambience at 4 and Fidelity at 2, 3D surround is off, Dynamic Boost off, and Hyperbass off. Settings are set to speaker instead of headphones with music set to Type II.
If you were looking for a pair of headphones that are great out of the box with no mods then this is not the headphone for you. Us audiophiles like tinkering and modifying our headsets to our liking. You're better off with the Status CB1's instead of this drop. Though the CB1's build quality is not the best.
