MEE Audio IEMs Grab Bag for $9 shipped [MD]

While waiting and pondering whether to get the HD6xx next Tuesday, here’s a live offer at Massdrop, it is an MEE Audio (formerly MEE Electronics) grab bag, for $8 plus $1 flat shipping. You will randomly receive one pair out of four options with a $10 to $25 value. Limit two buys per member, with a total of 3000 units available. To further encourage shoppers, there are six milestone prizes that will get you a lot more expensive items instead of these earphones. The prizes include headphones and DAC/Amps, with prices ranging from $100 to $800. The offer is running for the next seven days (from blog-posting date) and will ship late November 2016.

Massdrop Bombshell: Sennheiser HD6xx for $200 starting on Tuesday

Massdrop dropped a bombshell today! They have their first Sennheiser exclusive deal, and it’s an audiophile level headphone, the HD 6xx, based on the current HD 650 with a detachable 6-foot cable. The drop will go live on November 8 at 9am eastern time. A total of 5000 units will be available, the first 500 of which will get sub-550 serial numbers. They are estimated to ship mid-December 2016. If interested, make sure all your account info at Massdrop is up to date (address, credit card, etc), so you can jump right in when it goes live on Tuesday 11/8/16. These are made in Ireland and come with a 2-year Sennheiser warranty.

What does it say about HD 650 prices?
This also raises an interesting question, considering that the current new condition of the HD 650 is $300+. Does this price mean Sennheiser has flexibility in bigger price drops for the HD 650, or is the nature of the Massdrop offer such that allows them to offer it for less because they don’t have to deal with the traditional retailer infrastructure?
