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...

To be honest theres more companys that make closed backs that i dont like & could name including headphone models, I've got a list on google. e.g Sennheiser closedback: only one i know i like is the HD820 from experiance, havn't tryed any of the HD5XX but i have tried a few from HD25 up to the HD5XX range & Momentum/s didnt like them. same with AKG 52~550 range, i think the 553 was closed? & that was ok though. Actually sony have alot i don't like as well but in there case not because they are bad, but because they sound to similar e.t.c.
I've tried a lot of closed back headphones, they almost always end up Generic sounding or Generic Bassy sounding, Even the novelty multidriver ones. the dull sounding ones are always the ones with poor ear cup design as menchioned above. So I would be extremely reluctant to purchase anything before reading the reviews.
