Drop announced today that a new Drop edition HE5XX will be available for sale starting tomorrow:
https://drop.com/buy/drop-hifiman-he5xx
Mad Lust Envy was given a pre-release pair and published a review today: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/drop-x-hifiman-he-5xx.945708/ Price would appear to be $220.
Crinacle posted at SBAF that the 93.5 db sensitivity and 18 ohm impedance are the same as the Deva. And then scaled his Deva measurements to match what Jude took for the HE5XX and they look very similar: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.o...xx-review-and-measurements.10082/#post-323197
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this headphone performs once more people get their hands on it. And with the HD560S and X3 (now down to $215 on Amazon) within the last month or so, good news for people looking for new headphones in the ~$200 range.
