MaheshZAIt looks like they saw customer response and the lack of popularity and took into account the wait we will have and agreed on making more product and a lower price per item. In other words, Senn will make more money even with the lower price if they can make up for it in sheer sales (its a profit either way, the parts they use to make the headphones are cheaper if bought in larger amounts so the headphones are cheaper to make). Massdrop communicates with them and plans accordingly.
Still made in Ireland, still just a 650 with a different paint job (a good thing), just more of it and less cost to us.

I am apart of the drop - I waited for 6am PT. It's great to see that the drop has both increased in quantity as well as decreased in price.
But this is where my confusion sits - why is there no change of date in shipping? Surely affording an increased +-50% in drop quantity should affect some sort of production? Unless either or both Massdrop and Sennheiser knew that there would be a quantity increase and planned for such a lengthy date until shipping. There's a lot of talk about the lengthy production process and that's all well and fair. But adding 4000 units to the production line up and still hoping for the same shipping date can cause a lot of doubt/ speculation to whether the products are going to be produced in the same quality. Or, again, if knowledge of the entire quantity was previous knowledge and was planned for. There's also the fact that if there hadn't been plans for the extra quantity, why would it still take as long til shipping if there would be such a great amount left to produce.
This is all speculation on my part as I personally was wondering how the quality could be the same and my mind wondered.
I could go further to state that I could understand Sennheiser finding cheaper products and production methods - but all of that since the announcement of the drop would be somewhat unlikely in my opinion as quality is one of Sennheiser's pillars.
Anyway, I'd like to hear what the community and maybe even Massdrop has to say about this.
I look forward to reading your thoughts!
