Massdrop: ZMF Master Headphones as low as $300

The ZMF Master Headphones can drop as low as $300 (with shipping included) at Massdrop. There are two versions, one more balanced, one more bassy/warmer. You can select which one at checkout, along with which cable you prefer (XLR or 1/4″ or 1/8″). There is a maximum of fifteen units available for this drop, and it becomes unlocked at 10. Only 2 commits so far. This ends in about five days from today.

PS #1: Massdrop is a members-only website, and you need to have an account with them in order to see the actual products, that’s why I am not posting links, since it redirects to their homepage if you are not logged on to their account. This would create more confusion. Everyone can sign up for their service.

PS #2: if you are not interested in Massdrop offerings, please let me know in the comments or the contact form so I won’t mention them as often.
