We are positioning the HD 560S below the HD 600, though we still aim to present a high value for the $200 (USD) price. There are no plans to cancel the venerable HD 600... while the HD 560S may be a great tool for the studio and a fairly balanced, linear listening headphone, we know many people rely on the HD 600 for mixing and require it’s continued production. Options at different price point
You are not alone! First production and releases are always a bit open to delays, but we’re looking forward to a more concrete update and getting headphones into hands in the near future!
We’re glad your process was smooth, even if you decided not to keep the headphone. Just be aware though, returns and cancellation processes differ from region to region.
This link is to the US policy... hopefully you won’t need it, but it’s here!

Many more than that were produced for the first run. Of the current/first US/Canada run, the web pre-orders will be fulfilled first, then units will be distributed to retailers .
