Only Sennheiser headphones at $19.99 per month. Only in California though.

"SoundClub is a headphone subscription program by Sennheiser. Our vision is to democratize access to true high-end audio by making it available at a price that is affordable for everyone. We believe that anyone should be able to discover high-quality headphones and be given the chance to use the best and latest audio technology.

SoundClub is the brainchild of Sennheiser employee Sonny Wouters, who relocated from Belgium to San Francisco in 2018 for a chance to introduce the SoundClub SF program to the global tech community in the birthplace of the sharing economy."

• Why is this not on Sennheiser.com?
  Because this pilot program is only in California, we created a separate website to able to iterate and change as fast as possible to whatever we find out.
