LOL figures...

  Which is not made clear in the online listing. Reminds me one of those storefront signs, "Liquidation sale! Everything must go!!! Hurry!!!!!!"

  I'd guess you're right, but afaik it (he) is a subsidiary of Creative, a reasonably successful global company. And this has been going on long enough you'd think they'd be, um, creative enough to give Emu the resources needed to meet (or at least approach) customer demand, which is typically...

  That plus removable cables (unlike TH-X00) are why I've been keeping an eye out for the Emu's, but last time they appeared on Massdrop they sold out before I could jump on them. Just seems like a strange business model to me - I've emailed chan at enquiry@emu.com multiple times with no...

  Strangely, I can't tell from the pics if the connector is the screw-on type (bad) or the direct plugin (good). Seems to my untrained eye that there are pics representing both.

Quick Q/C question: I ordered the X2 off Amazon last August ("Amazon.com LLC"), then returned them because of a significant channel imbalance (left side louder than right by more than 2db). I noticed there is a $50 coupon right now from the same seller on Amazon. I'm wondering whether it might...

@doctorjazz "now I have to think about it again" No, don't think about it. Please, no one think about it until at least one hour after drop begins, thx.  

Momentum 2, $149, Android/Ivory only:   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SJ4IQ2S/ref=twister_B00X958NF2?_encoding=UTF8   Snagged one myself, listening to it now.... Wow. Feels like Christmas came early for me!

Sad day: returning the X2's I got just a few days ago. Upon first listening (after a little break-in period), I was thrilled with the sound profile and the comfort. But after a while, I just noticed something was a little "off", and eventually realized the sound wasn't quite centered. After more...
