Exchange rates have weakened this deal, but if you have a new Drop account you get $10 USD off the pre-tax price, that takes this back down to $168.80, and thus competing well as a cheaper alternative to the HIFIMAN HE400SE (currently $209 on Amazon).
I'm just going to paraphrase my previous deal post for the rest of this:
This is a slight variant on the HIFIMAN HE400SE driver implementation, just in the older HE400/HE4XX style headband, but they sound extremely similar. If you're not going to do much competitve gaming, this is virtually unbeatable at this price.
Probably the best review to demonstrate the above is here, with the related HE400SE review here.
Enjoy!
Can you compare this to the HD 598, the HyperX Cloud II, or the Fidelio X2HR?
Just kidding, love to see the jasswolf certified audio deals. I'm curious, what do you daily drive?
