Minus $10 off your first order if you sign up to their newsletter, so $189 in that case. You should get a pop-up with this extra offer, if you don't try opening the link in incognito mode.

Drop do actually ship this internationally and international shipping is quite reasonable, $15-20. You may have import duties and/or VAT depending on your country's specifics, and luck of the draw, but this could well still work out as a very good price for what is essentially a dark blue HD650.

I got the HD6XX a couple of years ago - no extra fees when shipped to Canada. FYI

Who was the carrier that shipped it? Some older posts in the Drop forums indicated that Drop used DHL to ship, resulting in additional fees, has that changed? I may consider picking a pair up if there aren't extra fees outside shipping + taxes...

I checked my emails from that time. Can't find what shipping company was used. At the time I think Drop had changed their shipping so that all fees were up front, but it was two years ago so I can't be sure if that was the case or if they still do that.

This is so crazy cheap. I spent $660AUD on a pair of HD650s 17 years ago when they were basically the best headphones on the market. Stupid money at the time but all these years later, they still serve me well. I'm tempted to buy a pair of these now so if mine ever die I'll have a new spare pair lying around.
