so here is what I gather so far,
1. x2s, from other vendors have QC issues. 2. Other vendors stop selling the x2's until the issues are corrected. 3. mass drop begins selling x2's a few weeks later at 30% off.
If I were a thinking man I would probably come to the conclusion that the stock that massdrop has is probably all affected by the QC issue. That being said 200 is a good deal,

badgerbadgerbadgerWell I dont really know anything, just guessing. But at 200 I think the deal is to good to pass up. Even with the issues others have talked about the X2's are still some seriously good headhpones.
Granted this issue was seen by amazon and the people who purchased the headphones to be big enough to get them to stop selling the headphones until it is resolved. Other than the glue being added it looks like different materiels were used and the construction was changed slightly.
I have read around the net about this and the best source I have is an amazon review from a guy named "MB" who talks about his first hand experience with the new and old styles in his review titled " Poor QC. Check your headphones. " on Dec, 17. Another sore spot in this drama is phillips customer service lying to him about the changes.
Also here is the Phillips PR addressing the issue. http://www.supportforum.philips.com/en/showthread.php?22285-Philips-X2-Statement

steve3236I'm aware of all the information you provided. I think it should be made clear on the product page here that this drop is for B-stock. That is clearly the case because by Philips' own admission in that statement, mistakes were made in some units when the glue was applied. I feel sorry for the people who haven't read the discussion section here and are joining the drop without aquiring knowledge.
I just hope Massdrop has the logistics in place for the mass return which will inevitability occur.
FWIW I have a glued WOOX pair (Amazon) which I got at a discount and am very happy with.
