A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
You cannot be a large corporation.
The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Hello, I am looking for a quality and durable headphone with high audio quality on a budget around $200, I want it to last long and be comfortable when I wear it for hours, I primarily listen to music and audio-books and do some casual gaming like story games and Minecraft, I don't usually carry headphones around but portability would be nice, preferably it's not from a niche brand since the availability of brands is low in my country does anyone have any recommendations?

So. Anything I say should be taken as hearsay and unsubstantiated since I can't cite it other than people I've worked with with direct experience working there. Drop had a particularly... Tech-bro-y chudly corporate culture. I seems the company has since been bought by Corsair but the whole thing still leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, however not bad enough that I haven't still bought things from them when the product was unique and the price was right

That tracks, tbh. I imagine they've enshittified slightly. I don't think I've looked at that site in years, let alone done business with them.
