New Release - AKG K181 DJ Ultimate Edition, launching on Massdrop
Hey Everyone, In the past 6 months or so, Massdrop has been able to offer some really cool AKG products. The K7XX was an ground breaking open-back collaboration between AKG, Massdrop, and our community. The K553 was a neat closed-back can that did a lot right at the price. With these two products, I feel we’ve covered a lot of ground regarding home/stationary use headphones. I’m excited to announce that later on this week (of May 19th), we’ll be launching the AKG K181 DJ Ultimate Edition headphone, a portable on-ear that’s got a few interesting tricks up its sleeve. Its predecessor, the AKG K181 DJ, did a lot right but mostly flew under the radar (I’d never heard of the product before AKG brought it to our...
New release - the AKG K553 Pro - featuring a killer Massdrop deal
Roughly 4 months ago, I had a chance to demo a new headphone from AKG. Well, not exactly a new headphone..... but rather a new configuration called the K7XX, sold exclusively by Massdrop. I posted my thoughts HERE and the thread soon grew to hundreds of pages. Response from most people seems very positive, especially considering the price. I've seen several seasoned AKG veterans (who certainly have more experience with the AKG 7-series variations than I do) proclaim the K7XX as a superior value - that it's very similar or maybe identical to the 65th Anniversary Edition, at a far lower price. What's not to like? That model is still available (for the moment), but AKG and Massdrop aren't sitting still. They've...

About the Sennheiser HD 6XX and HD 58X..
Hello all!
I've just purchased the ALEX CAVALLI TUBE HYBRID AMP and GRACE DESIGN STANDARD DAC. I have always been into audio, but never really pulled the trigger. I was looking to pair the two with the SENNHEISER HD 58X JUBILEE HEADPHONES, so I purchased them too.
Sometimes I feel extremely...

[WTB] Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00/TR-X00 Ebony
Hi!
I know this will be tough because it’s such a good headphone that is pretty desirable right now but I might as well shoot my shot.
Looking for a Massdrop x Fostex TH-X00 Ebony in good condition. Removable cable version (TR-X00) version is fine too. Doesn’t need to be immaculate but close...

3 Pin Dual XLR Female to 4 Pin XLR Adapter Male (where to find?)
Hello all,
In advance: I apologize if this has been discussed before. I did my best to search around on Google & Head-fi, but the discussion on this has been sparse--at least in my findings.
I'm going to be picking up an Oppo HA-1 and I currently have an AD2000 with a dual 3 pin balanced...

Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread
These are definitely not rework or resold units.
The shipping time is low on these units because they are part of a large batch that went directly into the store.
Typically the first drops are smaller batches and would not be available for immediate shipping.

Sansui Integrated with Headphones
I did spend another $500 to have mine brought up to spec. by a qualified repair shop. I highly recommend doing so if the amp has never been serviced before otherwise you're not going to be getting the most from these vintage amps.
I also love the amp has two phono inputs for both my turntables!

Happy new (y)ears everyone!
For years, the Audiophile community has wanted an audiophile quality set of cans with wireless capabilities, but these have historically been mutually exclusive qualities.
In 2020, Drop is changing that.
