Apparently not...
HELLO? SENNHEISER??
Is this thing on? .gif "Confused Face(1)")
And before someone tells me to be patient, I am patient. I am not demanding delivery or acting out because the headphones aren't here yet. I am dismayed by the lack of information coming out of Sennheiser.
I personally would prefer an announcement that there has been a two-month delay to this silence. That way, I could plan what will be charged to my credit card and when. As it is now, I need to leave a constant $1400 cushion in my budget to make sure I can pay for these when they ship. (I don't finance luxury items.)
Give your customers some respect, Sennheiser. Nut it up and tell us what is going on.

I'm with you guys on this one. Senn is dysfunctional - no communication skills whatsoever.

I called Headroom to change my credit card on the preorder and found out the unoficial word is they are changing early March to LATE March, based on whatever they could deduce from their conversations with Sennheiser.
I was also surprised to find I'm "58 or 59" in the cue, so close to cutoff, but looks like I'll make the first wave when it does show up. WEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 
Also possible good news for others, they implied they may afterall get much more than the last projected 60 and that all the preorders MIGHT get filled afterall. 
But this was all very unoficail and uncertain.
Heck, Tyll might fire the guy who told me this and drop my preorder down to number 151 for even posting this  .

Seems people are being uneasy about whole Feb/March -> March/April changes.
Tyll and others, is there any official update from Sennheiser?

I hope this delay means that they will have more than a paltry 100 units or whatever was said earlier.
