Buy it with this https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5574 and you could maybe use it with IEMs. Maybe it would not be that bad....?

Clearly just for the BT adapter, but who would ever use something like that hanging down from their headphones? That looks ridiculous.

Have never pre-ordered anything from them... Do they charge the credit card now or will it be more like a temporary hold until they ship the item when they actually charge the card?

Don't post that in the deals thread man, that's not a deal

I believe it's an up-front charge. When Massdrop started, it was about group buys making unusual products (like limited run keycap sets) happen. They branched out, and tried to go more mainstream over the years. Problem is, once they started offering a lot of products you can get elsewhere, they haven't always been that competitive on price and/or shipping times, with Amazon shipping far faster at the same or a bit more price, and places like AliExpress taking about the same time to ship at the same or a bit lower price, depending on the product. Their after-sales support is also somewhere between Amazon and AliExpress. A distinguishing pursuit for them has been collaborative products, which when launched are more like a Kickstarter in the sense that you front the money to them potentially a long time before the product ships. Not as risky as a Kickstarter, but an unusual practice. That has sometimes translated into products that they have later stocked and can be shipped on demand, more like a regular store. I think of Drop as an odd site... I like to visit it and get their emails mostly just to keep up on products, but don't buy much from them that often.

Well, the HD-6xx was/is competitively priced. But overall, pricing has been hit-or-miss -- some very good deals, and others ... not so much.

As far as when they charge, it seems to depend on the item. I've had them charge me immediately for some items, and much later for others. In this case, the listing says:

Payment will be collected at checkout.

Which, if like most other drops, is just wishful thinking at best.

It's a deal to me. I almost just bought a HD800S (on sale) for $1400. This is basically $900 for a new, improved model (once you spend the $200 credit, and I can definitely find somewhere on drop to spend it). Balance cables I can get for $100-$150 later, no big deal. If Sennheiser had released it themselves, it would be $1600-$2000, albeit, with balanced cable.
