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...

For the past couple of months, Monoprice has been giving us the estimated ship date based on the information shown on their internal system. The system comes up with the estimated date by adding standard processing time on top of inbound shipment status from their sea freight provider. This system has been reliable in forecasting the progress of our orders in the past, but it has been exceedingly unreliable due to the labor dispute problem at Port of Long Beach.
In a rather forthcoming and pessimistic phone call we have with Monoprice, they admitted to not know when they can expect the shipment to come in. They know it is in one of the ships that is anchored off shore waiting to be off loaded. But no one at their shipping company is willing to forecast the arrival date of this shipment anymore. As a result of this revelation, Monoprice is also placing many of their products, including this one, on backorder status indefinitely on their own web site.
While this isn't something we could plan for, we sincerely apologize for the trouble caused by this delay. We understand this delay is rather undesirable, and as a token of our appreciation for your support, we'll be issuing a $10 partial refund for each order. If you would prefer not to wait and want to cancel your order instead, please contact support via your transaction page, and we'll take care of your request right away.
Thanks for your patience and expect an update from us on 3/26 or sooner.
