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...

Bought these 2 years ago thinking they'd compare to my Shure se215s, but they definitely don't. They are small and fit well in my ear, but most of the buds come off fairly easily and thus I have lost most of them (completely my fault). As I've used them for nearly 2 hours daily for most of the 2 years, the rubber over the cable over-the-ear has deteriorated on both cables supplied (it's cool they come with 2 cables) and the filter on the end of each earpiece has come off (the 215s have a filter in the buds themselves). The cable also works on my phone screen whilst audio is going through the cable (which can be extremely annoying). Over time it seems most of the bass has disappeared (which could be the ingress of wax into the drivers or my hearing loss lacking the low-end). The right-angle jack is cool, though on both cables the rubber protecting the cable where it leaves the plastic houses has separated itself. I'd only buy these if I needed some in-ears and couldn't get hold of any Shures or UEs
yeah sorry if I didn't get that across
