Pass on this drop, guys.
These are a direct rebadge of the Taiwanese Verisonix I502C which you can find here:
http://www.verisonix.com/i502c.html
Plenty of users have posted links to other rebadges which are much cheaper than this price tag.
Of course, Massdrop wants to bring us more reputable brand names, so I understand that they would rather partner with a seemingly more publicly known (albeit probably not by much) Mitchell & Johnson compared to some other unknown company like CyberDrive. That being said, Massdrop caters to audiophiles—who do their research and know when there's a bad deal.
