I keep seeing this word "colorway" on massdrop. Is that really even a word? It sounds like something that would be on a poor translation.

It looks like a word. (Kind of weird to me.) https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/colorway

I had been confusing it with this company: http://www.colorware.com/p-626-sennheiser-hd-800-s.aspx

$37 is not cheap for porta pro though

Massdrop is assaulting my wallet lately, I'm proud of them!

Neat! I was just thinking about getting some Portapros. Hopefully this one will last longer than my KSC75.

It is a Porta Pro that looks kind of nice. I guess it depends on what that is worth to a person.

Yeah, you cannot put a price on colorway.

@spwath I haven't seen Portapros for less than $40 on Amazon for months.

Looks like if you blink, you miss the price drops, @DigMe
It looks like colorway means color(s). I don't think that word is very useful. :)

Huh. Indeed.

@DigMe "you cannot put a price on colorway"

Not even if it is in an unopened boxed set?

*Colourway* (Even with the British spelling). Yes, a perfectly cromulent word, although Google suggests that it only dates back to about 1950.

Massdrop should stop using the word anyway. It bugs me. :)

I can understand that. I would like everybody who is not working in a museum or art gallery to stop using the word "curated"

I predict that will not happen until after McDonalds markets "curated french fries".

Another previously little-used word that has been popularized by internet business lately is "bespoke"

I missed out on that bespoke crap. I need to read more internet.

*It speaks to* your need to read more internet. That's another phrase I detest. In fact, going forward...

Wait! What did I just say? Aaaaarrrgh!
