According to Drop, the quality control issues should be resolved.
Before shipping out to customers we tested and compared samples from this batch against those from a 2018 sample. We compared materials and construction to ensure they were identical. The new samples were also weighed to get an average of 20.63 grams.
Our reference sample weight is 20.35 grams giving us confidence this batch had been made to the correct standards.
Do we have any idea or indication when the Elex might next be on sale? I recall around last Black Friday the Elex was ~$500. Are there any sales that Drop typically offers before next November rolls around?
That really sucks, I really hope things go well with Dropās customer service. I also bought my Elex as a refurb from Drop and I fortunately havenāt had any problems so far.
I got a referb pair in with only minor cosmetic blemish on 1 grill. Good sound. Really digging how clear the treble and upper mids are for a dynamic, it has sibliance but due to the snappy transients it is very tolerable for me. They decoded the lyrics for staying alive so thatās an accomplishment in my book LMAO! Also they do really well with well mastered, prog rock, orchestral, vocals etc. Very versatile and trades blows with my 95x while being different and still fun/neutral.
I agree that the separation on it is super impressive! Was able to hear overlapping vocals super well. Dang I do miss my elex. Iāll hawb to get some clears later lol
Yepp separation is good, it has good dynamics and it is solid with everything I have thrown at it. Instrument and audio ques are very wrap around your head, like these stage really nicely. I love these being a companion to my 95x, I may sell my Nighthawks sometime, but I will try to hold on to them as my change of pace LOL. May continue to appreciate in value too so who knows.
For sure. Pluz hawks will remain valuable as they are no longer in production! So lovely. I currently have 3 Nighthawks lol. Kinda started collecting them
Iād say its worth it, but it depends on the DAC and amp you have as well. I like both headphones but the Clear is the better of the two. How much better? Dependsā¦
Finally got my refurbished referbed elex from drop. I had to send them back due to a dead driver but hey they were $500 bucks with a warranty. For the short time Iāve listened to them tonight all I have to say is these things are stupidā¦in a good way specially for the price. Still judging them but they might dethrone my Aeon RT as one of my more comfortable go to headphones.
