Massdrop is a group buying site where the final price is determined by the number of purchases; you'll be charged when the drop ends for the lowest price point the drop has reached at that time.

The drop is live again..I think it is 1800 units this time. Ships in 2-3 days. Which is great compared to previous drops.

No. Not at all. Open headphones do not seal off the outside world and don't seal the outside world from your music.
These are on sale today! Massdrop fixed the the issue with the bass and they're regarded as a ridiculously good deal to get into audiophile level headphones.

They will sell only 1500 today. Unlike most Massdrops THIS IS IN STOCK AND WILL SHIP IN 2-3 DAYS NOT 6 MONTHS

• Jude, Head-Fi: "I really like it, and it's a big improvement over the prototype." -https://www.head-fi.org/threads/m...t-13926651

• John Grandberg/project86, Head-Fi: "I liked the prototype but I love the final production model. This is among the smoothest response I've heard from any of the HD6 series. Upper mids and highs are just so well controlled and clean, without losing much detail or feeling overly dark. There's still an awful lot of air up there beyond 8kHz. Bottom line, for me, the $150 HD58X is arguably one of the best entries in Sennheiser's HD6-series, and the absurd price advantage it carries over all other models makes it an easy recommendation." -https://www.head-fi.org/threads/m...t-14324294

• Solderdude, DIY Audio Heaven: "The HD58X has the best bass extension of Sennheiser's HD6** series headphones. At this price-point the HD58X is very hard to beat." -https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress....-massdrop/

• Marv, Super Best Audio Friends: "This corrects minor issues with the original pre-production HD58X such as the lack of bass extension and a small peak at 5.5kHz. The issues were minor, and given Massdrop's price, easily forgiveable. Now that these issues have been corrected, what we have now is a headphone with an amazing performance-to-price ratio. The lows now extend as well as the HD6XX headphones, and actually sound clearer. There is actually more clarity in the bass than the HD6XX! Not quite as good as the HD600, but somewhere in between, closer to HD600." -https://www.superbestaudiofriends...ents.6530/

• Ken Denmead, GeekDad: "At their introductory price of $150, they've just set a new standard for entry-level audiophile headphones, and considering that you don't need an amp to drive them, Massdrop and Sennheiser have just brought great-sounding audio down to a level where a lot more people can afford to hear what they've been missing." -https://geekdad.com/2017/12/revie...eadphones/
Interesting, but as mentioned before, these headphones... HD 58x, have no relationship with the old HD 580s you have and love. Different drivers, different tonal balance etc.

This drop is for in-stock headphones and not "in-manufacturing" headphones so you should receive them in 5-10 days for standard shipping and much faster for expedited shipping.

Edit: I was watching the sold count. They sold well over a hundred in the first 6 minutes of the drop.

No. Not at all. Open headphones do not seal off the outside world and don't seal the outside world from your music.

Why do you prefer them over the 650s?

These aren't old school 580's but something that's based on/similar to the 660S

I have the 580, 600, and 650. I like 650 the least because the treble is fatiguing over long periods. You can get ringing in your ears after hours of use. The 580 on the other hand, has that "sennheiser veil" but you can listen with them all day long without any fatigue. The 600 is midway.. the treble isn't as bad as the 650 but less veil than the 580... but for some reason the 580 sound is more engaging and fun to me. The 580 is the special one out of the three.
