Drop.com is having a Prime day sale, shipping to Australia is $20USD.
HD6XX $169, ~$280AUD delivered.
- The cheapest USD price in a while, unfortunately our dollar has been trending down.
HD58X $139, ~$235AUD delivered.
If you've already got a older pair, don't forget about ear pads, the foam in my HD58X lost its shape after ~2 years of daily use.
Earpads for 58x/6xx series $29-49USD.
The hybrid pads are nice, there are cheaper options on AliExpress but quality and fit varies.
Referee receives $10 on a new signup with referral link. Referrer receives $10 credit upon the Referee completing a purchase.
You can try making a new account and getting $10 further off, which would make this about as low as they've ever intentionally been priced.
Thanks, Got the 6XX for $179 shipped (transaction $265.15AUD).
Do I really need this? Been on the fence for years. Still got my pm3s. Cos if I get this then I need a qudelix… So tempting
Would probably recommend a better dongle these days, probably for less.
What a cliffhanger… Please recommended away.
Onix XI1 if you're happy with using 4.4mm balanced/Pentaconn.
@jasswolf: Thanks. It looks good but doesn't have Bluetooth. Kinda wanted that so I can freely walk around with it. Yes I know the sq is not as good but convenience is sometimes important
@mit: Ah yup, not across that segment yet, hopefully it's getting updated with LC3Plus low latency and stuff like aptX Lossless.
@jasswolf: That’s a bit new, so may be a gamble. There are quite a few reports of USB connectivity issues over at Head-Fi.
Personally, I’m waiting for the dust to settle so we can see if these are hardware compatibility issues, or just software bugs that will be fixed in time.
@jasswolf: qudelix on sale at drop for roughly $160 delivered (+/- GST?) at the mo - so pretty similar price it seems - plus it has EQ…
These are awesome kinda kicking myself for selling mine a few years back. Once you go wireless there's no going back, at least in my case haha.
6XX is going to have better timbre and will scale further with gear. 560S is going to sound wider and image more precisely on basic gear.
560S will dig a little lower and higher, but might be a little sharpish.
unlike most headphone users, I have ears on the SIDE of my head. 🧶
Probably the best couple hundred bucks you can spend in audio but you absolutely NEED an amp (e.g. an ifi hip dac works well and is still portable) to hear the potential of these.
Highly recommend getting the 58x over these if you're going to be running these on regular consumer 3.5mm jacks (e.g. a Nintendo switch, an apple USB dongle, etc) as it genuinely sounds good out of low powered devices, unlike the 6xx which is going to sound quite dry.
Should I cancel the Philips Fidelio X2HR from the other deal and get this instead? Hmm…
Any working discount codes for Drop.com?
