This isn’t mass drop anymore. These headphones aren’t a group buy. Times have changed, so shall the circumstances surrounding defects.

For all intents and purposes this is just a normal retailer.

Sir this is a headphone forum

Realistically, you can’t have it both ways.

not exactly a “sale”

This is delusion talking. This is absolutely a sale. You don’t find these cheaper unless you go second hand market.

This is r/headphones, What else do you want to see? Another Schiit stack?
