I was browsing the site.  Lots of cool items (not that I need any of them) but are they all one-offs?  How do you know if the stuff is any good since it all looks liked limited runs.   Thanks.

Unless it says "Massdrop Edition" like the K7XX I don't think they're limited runs. At its core they basically just organize group buys between people who don't even know each other, even in internet forums, for a discount. What that does for them is that they don't manage a warehouse waiting to offload the stuff in a store - they organize the "drop," get the money, receive the items from the manufacturer, then they ship to the buyers. Once that's done none of it stays in their warehouse.

I just learned about Massdrop. Somehow, I decided I need a pair of Sennheiser 650's! Hope they are good.

This is a perfect explanation. I should add that often the discounts are really good. For instance, the HD6XX is a great deal, as was the Elex.
