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...

So it is not a bug, it is a feature. My sub has hi level in and out so I was able wire it differently and get around the problem. It seems to me that most people would not want the sub live when in headphone mode though...
Hello Thank you for contacting TOPPING support. We are happy to assist. Your MX3 is normal. We do this is because some users will use MX3 as a pre-amplifier, they will connect the power amplifier from the headphone jack, and they need subwoofer output at the same time. So if you need to use headphone only, please pull out the subwoofer output.

while I wait for my MX3 to show up, I can debate whether I want to look at a sight of a passive switch box - for the life of the MX3 - as a way to remedy this unfortunate implementation of features
I do this for a different reason, but it might help here too. I have my Desktop monitors (JBL LSR 30X), my DAC/AMP (NFB-11) and sub-woofer all on separate pulgs with wireless remotes. So if I don't want my sub playing at night I jut hot a button and it powered off.
Also as the rest of the gear has the power button at the rear, making it a pain to turn on and off, I just leave them on and use to remote to tun them on/off. When I powering off my NFB-11 my PC defaults back to it on board audio, which I use for general computing. Turning on my NFB-11 I I get higher quality audio. Then I can turn on the sub If i really want to feel the thump. Luckily I got them remotes all on three different channels (A, B, C).
Perhaps this is a viable solution for you.
