Anyone know who to politely request, plead and beg on both knees for another drop on the HD6XX beautiful cans?!
Thank you and a thumbs up for agreeing!

MusicFuelsYourSoulsecretly I hope the 6XX's go down as a one-off drop; makes the fact I scored one all that more enjoyable. If everyone could by them easily, it would kind of defeat the purpose -- at least change the color-- perhaps a pink version for the next drop? Used HD 650's go for slightly less locally here than what it cost me to get a HD 6XX. As it relates to the PC37X, I'm much more willing to "share" this drop in the future.

punkrawkerWhat makes you much more willing to share this one? I don't understand how it's any different - they're both limited edition cans. Sure, the 6XX is a legendary pair of headphones but that doesn't mean that it can't be made accessible. There's no need to be a dick about the fact that you got in on the last drop and someone else didn't.

ScandalousThe PC37X is not overly different than the PC360/363/373/GameOne; to which I already own some of. I know a lot of gamers are young and can't afford a good headset, so I see this as a good opportunity for them to get a great one, for less.
Conversely, the HD 6XX came with a serial number, designating the uniqueness of each pair. They also cost a lot more. If everyone could easily afford one, it would undermine part of my desire of having one. These are the type of headphones audiophile snobs chase; they also require an expensive amp to general run well: flooding the market with them might drive down their reviewer rating as a result.
I only bothered to reply to the original comment because I thought it was distasteful to be begging for the HD6XX in a discussion for the PC37X. My comment came out a bit snide perhaps; apologies to others.
Lastly, as per pink headphones, I don't see the problem there actually. While it might sound like I was joking, in reality I think something really different would be welcomed. A slightly different shade of black is kind of boring, while something very different would be kinda awesome.

punkrawkerI wouldn't say the 6XX cost 'a lot' more. It's a $70 difference in price. The serial number is literally just a sticker, not laser-etched or engraved, I was really disappointed when I received my pair and saw it. So I don't understand the point you are making about uniqueness, it's not like they're handcrafted and clearly the opposite with a sticker slapped on.
@MusicFuelsYourSoul  FWIW, there has been at least one additional 6XX drop after the original but I think those were extras(about 1500 was the limit of which 400 or so were sold iirc) ordered by Massdrop from the first drop or ones that were unclaimed so this my not be the last.

ZatarotI suppose on some points you are right, but it's a matter of perspective somewhat too then. $70 more or 154% the price. Either way, $129 is already expensive for headphones for many and that pain is inflated when you're like me ordering from Canada with Canadian pesos.
As per uniqueness, I'll take whatever I can get. A sticker is better than nothing, but as you said -- you were disappointed that it was just a sticker and not laser-etched. Clearly people value a sense of uniqueness. These HD 6XX are likely the most expensive headphones I will own, and as my flagship cans, I'm hoping I can find every reason to be proud of them.
Ultimately though -- it won't ruin my day whatever Massdrop does. I'm having my fun either way; I just have a preference.

punkrawkerDrive down the rating? What does that matter to the value or sound? You're saying that you only own them for their cool factor and materialistic value, yet the to yourself as punk. Counter intuitive at its finest. If you find them to be amazing, having the world also have a chance to experience the joy would be awesome.

punkrawkerthey should just keep it US only so everyone else can stop complaining about shipping rates. /s
it won't ruin your day but would ruin other's days if there wont be another hd6xx drop. its not really a preference to be selfish. just dickish really.
dirtydomdotcomAs frustrating as people are about shipping, if they have a problem, they should jog on and stop complaining.
I live in the UK so not only do I have a higher shipping rate but also pay clearance on items. It is a CHOICE. I choose to enjoy Massdrop and its items.
I just politely request that people do not let a minority ruin it for the majority!
Thumbs up for some support ladies & gents would be appreciated!
