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...

Then they released Monk IE. Wanted to give it a try and bought both biggies and smalls bundle.
They sounded lousy even after hundred hours of burn-in.
The packaging was cheap, sound was cheap, build quality was cheap, the 2.5 to 3.5 cable was loose and lose connection.... They were half baked product.
So I sent them an email.... which they never reply.
I've graduated to a set of Vsonic GR07 37th Anniversary edition IEMs and couldn't be happier, you get what you pay for.
I own three different sets of IEMs that I would 100% take over my Monk Plus espresso edition (currently $25 on amazon), and they were all less than 25 dollars (some considerably so).

In my opinion they all sound better than the Monks, and I can wear them for hours longer than the monks without feeling like my outer ears have been pillaged by marauding vikings.
But 5 dollars is 5 dollars. I am okay with it.
What I cant bear is VE Clan selling half baked product and not standing behind their product.
