That was a bad acquisition and their parent company is now in a bind, but I don't see a world where they can't sell it somewhere. Hopefully it doesn't end up in private equity hell because the 600/650 line is legendary and the HDB 630 is a true leap forward.

By this time next year we'd be seeing some Chinese owned company producing "Sennheiser HD9000000000+ Pro" headphones that are leftover Shrek themed earbuds that smoke when you turn the volume up too high.
Senheiser's CONSUMER side of the buisness is basically dead. Senheiser still makes headphones and such with the focus more on business/production products
Sennheiser is basically dead too.

That's a bummer. I was just wondering where my HD 280s went (did I sell them when I emigrated?).
this is quite sad. i used to love and recommend sennheiser wholeheartedly. when i migrated back to the states they were the pinnacle brand for me. :(
Got a source that isn't ai slop?
The first line of the linked article contains a link to Sonova's statement (Sennheisers new owner).
It's actually much worse than the linked article though, since it's corporate BS style AI generated slop.

My 6xx still worked when I left it at home when moving countries for my siblings to use. I really loved that headphone!
Similarly sad for their PC38X headset. Though I know they shut down their Epos brand it was under a while ago.
