So does this mean we can openly mention "massdrop" on HF from now on ?
I would think not.
I'm guessing the OP got special permission from the Head-Fi admin to start the KXX thread.

Just FYI guys: Massdrop is now actually a headphone and amp reseller essentially, so you can now talk about and link to their sales. :wink_face:
I ended up hopping on. 200 buckaroonies is a tough deal to beat. I had K701s years ago and love my K240 Sextetts. So I figured why not. I think I was somewhere in the first few hundred after 2000. When I went to check out I was given the option for the Dec. 15th ship date. I picked it of course. When I go to "My Transactions" on the Massdrop website I also see that I chose the Mid December 2014 date for shipping. The question is: will they really ship on the mid-December if I'm beyond the initial 2k?

Can someone compare them to the Sennheiser HD598 for me plz? I'm thinking of buying one or the other Thank you
62 Ohm impedance headphones are not that hard to drive when the headphones have good power sensitivity (105 dB SPL @ 1 mW). In the case of the AKG K7 series the voltage sensitivity is around 117 dB SPL @ 1 Vrms, so they should sound fine with most portable devices, but they will sound a bit better with a headphone amp anyway.
(I use the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II (70 Ohm) with my iPhone all the time and they sound loud enough. The HD 25-1 II have a bit more voltage sensitivity (120 dB SPL @ 1 Vrms), so they sound louder than the AKG K7 series).
Maybe you jumped on earlier than you thought? You can check your number by posting in the massdrop discussion then hovering over the star next to your name. Or maybe they do just allow people to choose either date even if they won't get them earlier.
edit: well I just checked and the option for December wasn't selectable, so either you were earlier than you thought or they simply didn't prevent people from choosing december for a bit after 2000.
