Hey Folks, DROP is looking to hire an Audiophile Product Manager. https://boards.greenhouse.io/drop/jobs/2964222 This role is focused on community analysis, product definition, and product validation. We're looking for applicants with a strong background in these fields, and a strong history...

Firmware updates will be available via forthcoming EQ app, hopefully done by July but I can't control Qualcomm

Not sure if you're speaking broadly, or about our products, but good news, Low Energy is a big focus for the next gen of BT. Believe it's called LE, but it'll enable more cool things in the IOT and TWS world (doesn't do much for quality or interference afaik).

We're waiting on updates from Qualcomm, we had LL working as mentioned but we can't do much about Qualcomm pulling support to revise and roll out new updates. Once Qualcomm delivers new libraries we should be able to update the firmware and restore functionality for whatever they decide to use...

It's got a better chance than most headphones, YMMV, I don't know how hard you head bang. Hasn't fallen off any of our test users.

Yup, you should be fine. Clamping force is stronger here than sony/beats/bose.

Hey, everything we do is based on requests, so if we have a ton of folks coming back to us, after ~40,000 hrs of listening (roughly the battery lifetime), and want replacement batteries, we'll create a solution. Battery replacement for a small fee, designating an authorized repair center, or...

Re Padding, we're adding a layer of very squishy, perforated foam padding in the headband. Re Extension, we're extending the range by 1-2 clicks The team has been working day and night to incorporate these changes while maintaining our fulfillment schedule.

PSA Dekoni will be showing Panda at Canjam NYC.

We bought the technology, so we own all the existing driver designs (PM-1, PM-2, PM-3) and anything new that's developed on that platform (Panda, etc).

It's a good time if you haven't been, plus there are worse places to spend a weekend than NYC : ) Panda will be with our partner @DekoniAudio

@Warder45 Yes, Panda will be available for sale on Drop later this summer. Not explicitly, we don't have any plans or partners in the DC area. They'll be at Canjam NYC and others TBD. Overall, I wouldn't be worried about the headband point. ~20% of those with units have commented on this...

Coming from an M50, Panda's a whole new world. Would recommend the upgrade if you can afford.

Panda is being manufactured in Taiwan, but sadly no, we can't fulfill directly from the factory. Appreciate your interest in Panda!
