Unlocked at Massdrop: Audio Technica MSR7 Bundle (and Gustard H10)

Back to Massdrop we go where some new offers are up on that members-only (but free for anyone to join) website. The reason for the login wall is that some of their offers are below MAP (minimum advertised prices) prices, so they can’t have an “open” website with them.

As of the time of writing, two offers are fully unlocked (= lowest price possible during this promotion). Each one has four days left from today, with today being the blog-posting date, not the date you are reading this. They are the Audio-Technica MSR7 Exclusive Massdrop Bundle for $250 that includes the muted Antlion Modmic 4.0 and Brainwavz Zirconia headphone stand, with two color choices at checkout. This offer has a maximum of 400 units (129 purchased as of the time of writing).

The other one is the Gustard H10 headphone amplifier going for $300 plus $11.50 flat shipping.

Who knew, Amazon is now making its own headphone + amp match-making schemes 🙂
