If you're thinking about getting one of their excellent headphones or mics, now might be the time to pull the trigger.

Their MC930 mics are way underrated.  Loved them when I had them.

Always loved my beyerdynamic dt770 pro headphones.
Now I'm using my Final d8000 mostly, but the Beyers are great.

True. I love music and will keep this the rest of my life. A bit like investing in Schoeps or likewise mics really.
Hands down the best pair of headphones I ever had and will have.

I am in the proces of going all digital. Selling part of my vinyl collection made it possible to buy the fiio m17/final d8000 setup.
It's not cheap indeed. But if you buy 150 new vinyl records these days you pay about the same.

Luckily I am over 40 and therefore half-deaf (https://decibelhearing.com/hearing-loss-overview/high-frequency-hearing-loss/) anyway. Saves me quite a bit of money. ;)

The whole MC900 series was great, just hard to find matched 910 or 950s in the usa. Ran my 910's last week to compare against the Line Audio omnis and there is almost no comparison, Beyers have more depth.

I'm guessing the mic side of things is going to take a significant decline, as the company taking over is in the headphone game.
