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...

Edit: Going to be used for everyday listening and gaming.
Btw this is all through my new schiit jotunheim with the multibit dac. Love it!!!
Reeaally tempted to go for the HE4XX. I've seen some amazing reviews on K7XX but also bad ones. Reading all the reviews and your feedback, might have made it more difficult to choose lol
I thought the T-X0 where a bit too lean for me. Changing the pads of the T-X0 to Dekoni Sheepskin pads helped a good deal, it also add $40+ to the cost.
I would strongly recommended the 4xx. Of course we all different taste, so YMMV.
So weight is similar, but it's going to come down to how it feels on you head.
I can't be of much help.
Couldn't resist, but yeah I think the 4xx was great right out the box, but do think it has settled in some over the last 5 months or so, and I do not listen to them exclusively or really any more than any of my other cans, so kinda doubt I am just acclimatizing to them, but either way is a plus to me.
