The Drop/DCA version I got did not have the pads inserted despite website mention that the white one-notch insert is pre-installed; I still have them unused in a little packaging baggie. (For that matter, neither did my Noires, direct from DCA .. )Yes, the white inserts with one notch are fitted when you get the headphones from DCA directly. It is even mentioned in the documentation you get with these headphones.
This makes it difficult to compare EQ profiles since you have to remove and re-install the inserts when switching between EQ settings.
