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...

And with that in mind I'm reaching out here to hopefully also get some answers from here and hopefully get a bit more clarity.
This will be my first mid quality headphone, and I will use it for listening to mainly metal and electro music, and also use it for gaming. I like good clarity I'm the treble but is very sensitive to overly high levels of it. Because if my preferred music genres I also like a good amount of sub bass, and while I don't want it to muddy or drown things out too much i sometimes love to crank it up.
Worth mentioning is that i plan to buy an amp for about 100-200$ regardless of which headphone i settle on.
With these preferences, what headphone do you think will suit me the most? I already joined the drop on the HD6XX but I'm a bit worried that i will expect the wrong thing out of them? Am I F*cked?
Thank you in advance for your answers
