Note however that these will ship in mid-September 2017, that’s almost two months from today, so keep that in mind if you don’t like waiting and waiting and waiting.
Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones for $200
Pearly pearly dewdrops drops! The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones are back on at the Massdrop website at the market-enforced price of $200 with free shipping. There are thousands of units available, so these ones won’t sell out in milliseconds.
HOWEVER, these are expected to ship mid-December 2017, which is a full SIX MONTHS from today. So if you can’t wait, or if you will suffer for six months of sleepless nights waiting, don’t do it 🙂
[DEAD] Sennheiser HD6XX drops to $200 at Massdrop [still ship December 2017]
As of 6/30/17, this offer expired. Those who ordered the HD 6XX should expect to receive it in mid-to-late December 2017…
Sennheiser HD 6XX for $250 (over 4650 units available; ship December 2017)
What a difference $50 makes 🙂 The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX are now live at the Massdrop website, going for $250 with free shipping instead of their original run price of $200. The new higher price has a silver lining though, it means you can actually buy them without fighting the internet like it’s dial-up 1999, and not only that, but you also have more time to research them and deliberate and get official permission in writing from the Spouse C.F.O 🙂
As of 11:40am ET, 2819 units were purchased out of 7500 units available. The offer runs for the next three days. The HD 6XX are based on the open-back over-ear HD 650. They come with a 2-year warranty. Note however that all sales are final.
NOTE also that these are estimated to ship mid-December 2017. I repeat December 2017. That’s half a year from now! I repeat, half a year from now!
The Unicorn is Returning: Sennheiser HD6XX on June 26 for $250
The unicorn is coming back! The Sennheiser HD 6XX open-back over-ear headphone will return to Massdrop, available for purchase for signed-in members on Monday June 26 at 9am eastern. There is a catch however, the price is now $250 with free global shipping.
The original launch that crashed the Massdrop website was $200. This new price puts it closer to the HD 600 and HD 650 duo, making the decision more complicated when you factor in used options as well.
This drop will have 7,500 units available for purchase.
The HD 6XX is based on the HD 650.

I am listening to music through this as I am writing this as a matter of fact 🙂 The promised review is still in the works, but I already posted a utilitarian text and pictures unboxing (no audio, no slideshows, no video, no annoyances).
If you don’t want to deal with Massdrop and forgo the option to return it if you don’t like it, you can get it for $79 Prime eligible in the gold color scheme.
Further complicating decisions is that Fiio released a 2nd Generation model which goes for $100 and adds Bluetooth. I’ve only used the first generation, so I can’t compare them.
