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...

- Price lower than 200 dollars, even 150 or 100 if possible
- Mobile-friendly - I want to use them with my phone and laptop without investing extra money in an amp and dac.
- Preferebly over-ear, but comfortable on-ears are fine too.
- I'm planning on using them only at home (I have earbuds for commuting) for music, movies, videos and a bit of gaming, and I listen for most genres, but mostly rock (from queen to a7x).
- Open back because I did some research, and even though I never tried one, they seem to fit my needs (use at home) and I'd like to try a pair
In my research and came across headphones like the hd598, Grado sr60/80/125e (even though they are on ear), k7xx, dt990s and more, and since I'm new in this subject, I'm very confused (so many headphones).Do you have any recommendations for me on this topic?
