There’s a solid amount of clamping pressure to hold the headphones on your head, but the headband has surprisingly little travel.
The earcups are much better, with a generous amount of leather-covered (and easily removable) memory foam. It’s not so much padded as simply made from a rubbery material with the slimmest of cushioning. That’s why I was a little surprised there wasn’t more padding on the headband. There’s no question these headphones are heavy, though – weighing in at more than 13 ounces, they feel substantial in your hands and do tend to feel a little heavy on your noggin, especially after a few hours of music or gaming. It’s easy to miss the singular tiny “Drop” branding on the right side of the headband otherwise it’s matte black.Ĭonstruction is aluminum covered in plastic, and it has a tight, solid feel befitting $400 cans. But that’s irrelevant the stark, smooth, logo-free design is as intended. Having said that, they actually are pre-production – the production line hasn’t quite started yet, and deliveries to Indiegogo backers won’t begin until June at the earliest.
Based on pedigree alone, it’s a safe bet that these $400 cans will be great for audiophiles – but we wanted to see if these headphones would also make sense for gamers.ĭesign and FeaturesThe Drop + THX Panda headphones resemble pre-production prototypes – not because they’re rough or unfinished, but because they’re so minimalist.
