Hmmm. Sennheiser will receive? Thought they made the cans. Do you mean Senn USA, for distribution to Headroom? To all points in US? Or perhaps you mistyped and meant Headroom will receive the 100?

So is that 100 the entire quantity for the US? Seems absurdly low.

Reason I'm pressing for clarity? I have to budget very tightly for these if I'm even to try them out. If quantities are as worst-case scarce as may be implied by your message, my odds of scoring a copy in even a year may be pretty grim.

Thanks.
