By the same logic, there is now more demand than supply, and now that they have established a reputation they could charge more in-line with AKG's pricing in the rest of the market. Maximize profit, you know? Sale items don't "increase" profit, they just increase liquidation and maybe establish a brand (and in this case, open up Massdrop to Head-Fi rather than being part of the banned list). Just saying, it was a very good sale.
Hmmm, from what I've read. not much of an improvement sound quality wise over the X1 (aside from some comfort issues). Since I don't have a problem with the X1 comfort wise, these are really inexpensive (when you find them) now, I can get a second pair (my teen daughter "liberated" my 1st pair)
Well, they did make significant changes. X2 vs the X1, the new one tightened/lightened the bass, brought mids up, improved comfort. People just find it really musical.
