Anyone keen on the Drop x Panda? It's on Indiegogo over here https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/drop-x-thx-panda-headphones#/
The early bird price is tempting (add about R2-2.5k extra to get to our landed price). I'm a bit apprehensive about the warranty (since it has electronics built-in), and battery and ear pad replacements too. Perhaps the FiiO BTR5 will make for a more versatile and compact travel setup. I'd also feel bad to throw about ~R6-7k headphones, whereas with the FiiO BTR5, I can switch IEMs based on where I'm going and what I'm doing.
Interested to hear others' takes on these as I haven't read up much.
