I'd just find a cheap pair of used 6XX's and call it a day. Have seen them sub-$120 before. Realize this may still yet be more money than drivers once were, but it's still dirt cheap for the hobby nowadays, for better or worse.
Wait that's actually horrible, what the hell. One of the best things about the classic Senns is how you could keep them alive for decades because of how easily parts could be sourced.
Wonder if they're scaling production down, or if they're maybe considering putting the SKU to bed? I REALLY hope it's just them not wanting to keep spare parts for whatever dumb reason.
@EagleWings I emailed AudioSanctuary on November 27th and they told me "We do have some more on order with Sennheiser and if I had to guess I think we are looking at about 2 weeks before we will receive them." Still out of stock and with Sennheiser telling me "We currently do not have any drivers available for purchase and do not see when more may become available." I don't think they'll be restocked.
@james444 Thanks for that resource. Yeah, that's almost the same price for most of the used pairs I've looked at, so used is probably the only option people have now.
@EagleWings Yeah, it's very disappointing. For sure, I'll keep checking audiosanctuary every now and then to see if Sennheiser comes through, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I'll probably just pick up a used pair to extract the drivers.
