ClementThanks Massdrop! I appreciate having the headphones done the way they were supposed to as opposed to cutting corners in order to meet the date. Can't wait to try these along with the Darkvoice that I just ordered. That will complete my setup.

kunalkumarHey Kunal, you said you were going to get back at me for etas for international orders and I haven't received an answer. I don't need specific dates, I just want to know if I'll be in country when it finally gets to my address. Thanks for keeping us in the loop with everything else though.

btbtbtmakiYou are absolutely right and this is what I was expecting for the money I paid, but I have the impression that massdrop had a 350$ Msrp on them. If I'm correct (my memory can't help me) then this package is cheap...

koge99You really can't count the msrp. For 100 Bucks, this doesn't look bad at all. And I prefer good headphones over fancy packaging anyway.

Darcymcd10 business days after it ships from our warehouse for your location as well. However, please take an error of a couple business days into account.

N0gaiI agree 100% with you, I just thought we might get something fancier with all the fuss and the sales. I disagree though about the msrp. A serious company shouldn't throw phony numbers to their clients to up the real value of a product. do you agree?

koge99Well, it seemed obvious from the start on that the msrp was set waaay too high on those. But "yeah like little bit cheaper than they are normally" doesn't sound as nice as "HEY THIS SHIT IS LIKE 70% OFF!". I don't disagree with you, but I didn't expect them to actually deliver 300 dollar quality. So I'm not really disappointed by the fact that I get pretty much what I paid for. Also it's pretty common for companies to set the msrp absurdly high.

kunalkumarIs it possible to find out about the dates it arrives in the uk and how i pay the importation tax?

ItzHysteriaUsually, instead of the parcel, Royal Mail will send you a slip with a serial number on it. You will need to go to the website on the slip, enter your serial number and pay (using a credit card). After a few days, they will send you the parcel. That said, it is possible that you are lucky and don't have to pay the VAT.

ItzHysteriakunalkumar said something about 10 businessdays later than Americans (I assume it's the same everywhere in Europe). So around mid october.

ItzHysteriaFrom two previous drop delivered to the UK, Massdrop used DHL which gets the parcel to Heathrow in a few days, once in Heathrow, the parcel is passed on to Customs Clearance Limited (CCL) who will send you a letter via snail mail which contains a "Payment Reference" number. You enter this number, as well as the payment amount (20% of package cost + £8) into the website https://cclpay.com/ . Finally, CCL will pass the package on to Yodel who should get the parcel to you within a few days.
In total this process would probably take about 10 days (because of the snailmail) but you can speed it up a lot by simply waiting for DHL to update the status to "Consignee Contacted for Payment" and then call CCL on 020 8231 0900, give them your Yodel tracking number when they ask for a reference number and then simply ask them to email you or tell you the payment number and the payment amount. The parcel should then be passed onto yodel within one full working day.
From my experience of my past two deliveries, this process has managed to cause the package to be delivered within 5 working days of me receiving my tracking number.

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!!

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.
