There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I could use your input. I’m new to the community, but after seeing the kinds of custom products that Massdrop is producing in conjunction with different companies, I realized this might be an opportunity to help create something I’ve been looking for:
I would love to see a premium, super-comfortable, single-can chat headset with noise-cancelling microphone, suitable for hours of work/play.
Why single-can? There are plenty of high-end stereo chat headsets out there. Finding those isn’t a problem. But I have nice speakers, and I prefer to play game audio from those with separate audio from discord/chat over a headset. Currently I use a professional-style chat headset from Jabra, the sort of thing you’d find in a call center. That does the job well enough, but I’m hoping others here would be tempted by the something like a Sennheiser, Astro, or Beyerdynamic offering.
Will suggested I make a poll, but I’m not sure the best way to do so would be. For instance, I’d be perfectly happy with a corded usb solution. Others might prefer wireless. Is it better to have more options or fewer? Should I suggest a specific brand/model variant or just the general idea?
So, I’d appreciate your help. Does something like this interest you? How would you suggest a poll for a potential custom product be structured in terms of options and the like?
Thanks for taking the time to check this out.
