Below is my review of the Drop + THX Panda. As stated in the review, it is a PRE-PRODUCTION UNIT, and things are subject to change. I was not paid by Drop or THX or anyone. They simply sent me the headphones for review, THAT IS IT.

On the fence between Penrose and Panda as I would like a wireless headphone that could go between my PC and PS5 when it comes out. Assuming I can add a dongle that will work with PS5 and that Penrose ultimately will sound much like the Mobius which would you personally choose? I want to get in on the preorder for one of them and can't hear either so it's a tough decision. From what you've said I feel like your sound preference for gaming is similar to mine so I thought I would ask.

Has anyone used the HIFIMAN DEVA and could share the experience. I am looking at changing my dt 990's for something different. It will be used primary for single player games

Is the "wait for a few weeks" comment aimed at the release of the Senn HD 560S?

Nope.

I'll say it's a planarmagnetic, and it's not the Penrose.

Also, it'll be the one I tell people to get if they REALLY wanna know what planarmagnetic is like and haven't experienced one.

As good as closed planars are, the real magic occurs when a planarmagnetic is really, REALLY open, with big drivers.

The upcoming one just sounds so different from a dynamic driver, it's incredibly impressive.

Thank you for your reply. I'm listening to the Mobius right now and I'm not blown away. I have seen that planar headphones sound better with open backs. I'm interested in open backs (never experienced them before) for music and gaming. I'll be watching this thread closely to see when an announcement is made

You are such a tease!

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Well, I want people to tune in. Of course I'm gonna tease y'all.
