I dunno I never used massdrop in my life, there is no guarantee I will even get a HD6xx because its all a chance if you will be selected or not.
I don't know if they send invoices if they do then I will be screwed.
 
Its also not glossy like the HD 600
 
Massdrop is the absolutely worst seller I have ever seen. So I stick to Amazon

MD is notoriously slow and their customer service is about the worst ever. I don't use them anymore after getting stuck between them and the manufacturer over a couple small things not included in the shipment but specifically mentioned in the drop. The aggravation was not worth the $5 it took to buy the extras outside of the drop but did make the drop price not attractive after adding the $5 back in. 
 
If you need to avoid the taxation the packing Slip sent by MD has no pricing on it, that's what family in the EU use to avoid the import duty and call it a gift, YMMV by country.

Same thing I do to avoid the crazy 50% Tax in my country in Trinidad. If no price is sent then customs assume its a typical $30 cheapo headphone. It is absolutely ridiculous the kind of taxes we pay in my country.
 
It might have actually been a good thing that Britain got out of the EU while they could aswell. It is ridiculous how cheap these items are in the USA no wonder they call it the greatest country on earth.

With Black Friday coming up does anyone know if etymotic will have a sale? Ever since the new er4-xr came out I've had my eye on them, I've been saving up some spending cash but I don't want to pull the trigger too soon if they do go on sale.

Noticed that Sonic Electronix has a "Black Friday" bundle for $550 free shipping with the Chord Mojo DAC and NVX XPT100 closed studio headphones. If the NVX headphone is good, the Mojo by itself is typically $550 (in the USA) and already class-leading performance at that price.

It is a good deal ONLY if you're in the market for these cans...

You can buy the Mojo for approx. $426 from Amazon.co.uk (including shipping to the US)

I've used Massdrop, they're OK, but I have had problems on 1 item, there is a long wait to get things, and you have to deal with the manufacturer if there is a problem (at least, the last time I used them-it has been a while). So, unless the discount is whopping, I prefer Amazon. (the 6xx would qualify as a whopping discount, though).
My $0.02

The back door to etymotic: http://www.etymotic.com/support/out-of-warranty-and-special-purchase-options will work on most er4's except the XR & SR. Send in a cheap kids pair and get a discount on an expensive pair.

They're a little too wise to allow the XR in that deal. They have a discount program, but it's pretty crappy. $75 or $25 off by sending in your $200+ headphones: http://www.etymotic.com/support/er4-upgrade-options

As for me I keep refreshing the HD 600 page on Amazon hoping to see it hit $200. LOL

HD 600 for $249 on Amazon free shipping from the Camera Store merchant
 
This is the lowest I have seen it go so far for the year
 
I am waiting for a $220 price drop mine has to be from amazon or a fullfillment because if anybody sends an invoice I am dead. When buying from Amazon I can click "Gift" to ensure no invoice is sent

Has anyone bought from BuyDig before? They aren't an authorized dealer for HiFiMan, so I am concerned about return policy and quality of the customer service.

I did, Beyerdinamic T90 and I returned with no problem, the refund the money the same day that they got the headphones back.
