this is terrible, imho. defeats the purpose of the platform. i'm sad for 6XX series headphones :c

Sennheiser is basically dead too.

  • 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

  • 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. :(

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.
