Depends on the licensing agreement. They should continue for at least as long as agreed

I'd be interested to see whether the consumer/audiophile market has shifted. I don't think many companies really cover both markets.

I got some last week - hoping they arrive some time this week
Nice just ordered a set today. Money back guarantee so a no brainer.
From? I cant find anywhere even close to half price
Ignore me, LOL.
Sorry should have stated direct from Sennheiser.
Yea, with that discount im wondering if its worth swapping my headphones out, had them for years and still sound fantastic but starting to get a bit tatty. Anyone whos more up-to-date on this can suggest / recommend where the sweet spot is for mixed usage, including gaming?
I dont mind spending more to get something that will last longer either.

Gaming on which device? Over Bluetooth? Which version of Bluetooth?
I don’t think I’d get these for wireless gaming on a PC but they’ll be very decent headphones. Adore my Momentum 2 Wireless, hence getting these

Wired is fine
The GOAL21 code still works
I ordered from the Outlet last week at £170, and the following day England scored 3+ goals to qualify for the 50% off code, so I ordered a another pair at £175.
Sennheiser won't cancel an order, you have to reject the delivery or get an RMA. Still waiting for either pair to arrive. Will return the Outlet pair, or might keep if it's brand new and sealed.

They’ll be pretty good, and they also have an onboard DAC which you can use by plugging in the USB type C cable.
Soundstage won’t be the widest but the slightly bass heavy sound will make gaming fun
A few reviews I read say they sound best wireless or using the USB-C cable for wired. The 3.5mm cable doesn't sound as good. I have the wired M1 with and will try the cable with the in-line mic with these. If they work well with a game controller, I'll order a cable for the M3.
Remember they do work wired over USB-C.Gaming on which device? Over Bluetooth? Which version of Bluetooth?

USB-C with a smartphone will be nice if there is an improvement in sound quality.
90%+ of my listening is EDM, and it seems that's the best genre for these. Hope mine arrive soon.

Depends on the DAC you’d otherwise be using.
Can’t see there being much of a difference though for most situations.
It'll make more sense with high res audio. I'll be testing both.
And better latency for gaming
I maybe wrong, but isn't the DAC in the headphones? The source will just pass the digital signal over USB. I've read reviews saying there is no difference between Bluetooth and USB, but a bitrate over USB should make a difference.
