Is it reliable with delivery dates or like crowd funding sites that may or may not deliver the goods?

It is very reliable with delivery dates, and in most cases there are great deals to be had. I have the Sennheiser HD6xx, which is Massdrops equivalent of the HD650, for about half the price. If you're willing to wait for the Drop, it's worth it.

Thank you. That's what I was hoping to hear.

Did your drop come from USA or China and did you just pay taxes or were there duties too?

 

[bobjob]

IIRC it was US and yes duties also.

Seems like pretty good deals there on MassDrop.

I won't use Kickstarter or Indieogogo again. The rules are all stacked in favour of the creator and the platform. I think I've lost about $3000 from failed fundings that never delivered. Most galling is they use the money to further develop the product, sell it on Amazon and the Kickstarter supporters wait for years.
