Just a heads-up, in case anyone is considering buying any headphones from Drop - DON'T!!!
I purchased a PC38X from Drop.com, which are now defective due to a manufacturing defect, and they are refusing to honour the warranty, within the approved period.
So far the excuses they have come up with have been:
-
try these fixes (which I already tried - they never bothered to properly read my email)
-
your item is not in the warranty period (it absolutely is, and their dates in their email confirmed this)
-
ok, fine, it's in warranty, but it's out of stock now (absolute lie, the item is 'available', 'in stock', and 'ready to ship' - I had a friend put in an order out of curiosity, and it went through with no issues
-
how about you take $15-$20 instead and piss off?
I have attached the conversation with them to this post, and images showing the item (a) is in warranty and (b) is in stock, and their horrible reply.
Just a thought for anyone considering a Drop.com purchase - they are REFUSING to honor valid warranties. Stay safe out there everyone.

Except my used shit =/= somebody else’s used shit. Entirely different value. It’s like eating a burger that you’ve spat on vs eating a burger that some other random person has spat on.
I would expect a reputable company that is sending out refurbished products (as warranty replacements or otherwise) to ensure those products are in a usable condition before sending them out. Buying a used product privately from the previous owner is a different matter. Of course, all of that applies only to products that actually retain a significant amount of their initial value after being used, which headphones do whereas partially eaten food does not.
