#12this is terrible, imho. defeats the purpose of the platform. i'm sad for 6XX series headphones :c

That's a bummer. I was just wondering where my HD 280s went (did I sell them when I emigrated?).

#13Drop/Massdrop had been on the way out for many years, I don't get the impression that they ever truly recovered from the transition away from the "group buy for anything" model. They were probably just barely kept afloat by the audiophile gear and keyboards.

#14Massdrop was interesting, as a place to get stuff you couldn't get elsewhere easily (even if I never bought something there, I considered it multiple times and I think I had some things on my wait list). Is there already something like a successor platform? Drop.com as a site for branded corsair gear is completely useless.
For keyboards specifically, there are still community run group buys happening on the geekhack forum.
It's both a lot more interesting and a lot more risky than Massdrop used to be in the sense that there is lots of stuff that even the old Massdrop never would have offered but you're sending a random person on the internet money (sometimes hundreds of dollars) and hoping to receive a product many months later. They have added a "vendor trust" program in recent years to better help inform buyers but there is always risk.

Similarly sad for their PC38X headset. Though I know they shut down their Epos brand it was under a while ago.

#16Unfortunate, but as others point out, quality was on the decline for a while now. That said, I use their iteration of Holy Pandas on every keyboard I can. Wish I had hoarded some when they were still available.

#19Saw this coming a mile away. Brand was completely ruined after several debacles.

Got a source that isn't ai slop?
The first line of the linked article contains a link to Sonova's statement (Sennheisers new owner).
It's actually much worse than the linked article though, since it's corporate BS style AI generated slop.
