Massdrop Shipping TIme

[Stevoisboss]

I just bought some sennheiser 6xx's off massdrop. When I looked at the estimated ship date it said December when the drop ended yesterday July 31. Is this accurate? I was hoping it would be around than 2 months or so. Has anyone bought off massdrop and had to wait a significant amount of time?

The long shipping time for this drop has been widely discussed and was clearly stated on the website (and is the same for both of the recent HD6xx drops). It won't ship before they say it will.

The December estimate is correct.

 

Massdrop estimates are based on lead times from the manufacturers.

 

In this case, the long shipping time is because Sennheiser has to source a bunch of extra parts from their various suppliers. The actual assembly will only take a few weeks to a month or so.

 

It very well might ship before December, but don't count on it.

 

I've also purchased a set with the current drop. I'm willing to wait, since in Canada, HD 650's still go for $500+.

Thanks. I'll wait it out. Didn't look accurate to me at first but it makes sense now that you say they will need to source that many parts.
