thegamer36Did you read the description before claiming those are the same? Once you do then don't mention speakers that are not specs out the same, it just shows you either don't understand the specs or you just did not read the description, either way you're misleading the readers.

See my response to the above OP they just are not the same, specs wise.

Don't listen to the OP he just did not read the specs, those are not quite the same at least performance and esthetic wise. The Massdrop version are matched to +/- 1 db of each speaker, that's a big deal and they are better finished in a black piano finish which are seamless at the joints compared to their brotheren so you're getting a heck of a bargain for that extra performance and esthetic you can't get unless you buy loads of them on Amazon and match them together. If you say price wise is the same then the choice is obvious but even with few dollars more you can't get this matching job, I know i have an unmatched pair of more expensive speakers and i hate the fact i have to set them differently each because of that. I just hope people would read before putting half ass comments they don't know aren't right.

"this guy has no idea what he's talking about. he can't even spell correctly."
This guy has no idea what he's talking about. He can't even capitalize correctly. You're such a child lol.
@thegamer36 Read what @MusicIsGreat has to say. I know you didn't say that the LSR305's and the LSR30X's are the same but if you're suggesting it, then people like n333 who don't know any better will assume they're completely the same. In this case, they're 100% not the same because driver matching within +/- 1dB is a huge deal, especially at this price point. On top of that, they gave us a more beautiful finish, in my opinion since that is personal preference, and they priced it the same as buying two separately after taxes from other sources.
This is an excellent purchase for anyone looking to buy a pair of bookshelf speakers. I received my pair a couple weeks ago and absolutely love them. I hope anyone interested actually sees a post in the discussion page that explains why this is different from the originals instead of blindly believing they're the same and it can be gotten from elsewhere.

TanvirK175You are correct, I never said they were the same. I was just noting a price I found.

I've got nothing to gain promoting this product, which I genuinely believe to be a good purchase, but here I am on a website dedicated to buying things giving my opinion of a product. Yeah, I'm a huge shill. If you were able to read, you'd have noticed I replied to your comment about the "shitty" lacquer finish. Sorry your life is so bland that your home items need to look so as well. You actually don't know what you're talking about and and due to not being able to hold a debate you resort to things like calling out spelling errors a person makes when English might not even be their first language, yet your grammar is sub-par at best. What an ignorant child. Have fun waiting for the $200 sale, doubt that's happening anytime soon.

It's pretty obvious there wouldn't be a review stating that. Reviewers are given review samples, not off the shelf products that they bought themselves. If I'm a company and I'm sending over a pair of review sample bookshelf speakers, I'm sure as hell making sure they get a well matched pair.
I'd like you to show me where the LSR305's have sold for $200. Not saying I don't believe you, I just literally have never seen that except for used pairs.
The LSR305 sells for 150 each and 300 per pair at most places. For 280, you're getting the driver matching and the superior lacquer finish. The latter is personal preference. However, driver matching does matter. That's why there are software solutions for room correction and EQ balancing. While those are there when needed, having the actual drivers match is truer than using a software solution. If you don't believe it matters, take your pair of headphones for example. In most entry level headphones, the driver matching is probably matched to within +/- 5dB. I'm not stating that as a fact but just as something that seems likely. So take your pair of headphones and go to this website http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php and go to the driver matching part and listen to it. You'll notice the difference if your headphones drivers are not matched well. With my ATH-M50x's, it starts off a little bit more on the right side and then pans to the center and stays there until near the end when it pans back to the right side. On my 1More Triple Driver IEM's, there is actually less panning. I think I read somewhere these are matched to +/- 3 dB, but I could be wrong. I Now the same test on my LSR30X's has the entire sweep centered. This applies to the 5's and the X's but the imaging on these speakers is amazing so when properly placed in a room, it's like the sound is literally coming from in front of you so it's very easy to tell that it doesn't pan left or right.
To say it's not a good deal, well. that's up to the individual so I can't say you're wrong. However, at the current time of writing, there is no pair cheaper than this one after tax and shipping (for the USA since it has free shipping here and I didn't get taxed buy maybe Cali residents do). If you're not trying to wait a potentially long time for a deal that may never come again, this is a very solid purchase.

Not at all what I said but I'm also not going to read every single user review cause an idiot on massdrop is unable to see where he's wrong. Sorry for your loss.
