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...

What I hate is that there are people that'll crap on anything whether it's the M50x or the 650 because they get a little popular, and have such a drive to put people down for liking or recommending something that's a good toe in the water into a world of products that's extremely subjective and very difficult to research and get into in the first place. At ~$140 on Amazon with a free $50 amp to boot, it's hard not to recommend the M50x for people who aren't ready to open their wallets more yet and probably have no idea what they're even looking for in the long run. I don't see anyone claiming they're some sort of end-all-be-all, just a good example of a quality entry level set at a very good price to performance ratio.
