I just hope they keep selling spare parts for theirs actual and old models.

They keep saying that nothing will change in the future, but it always does. Another brand to avoid.

Following the coronavirus crisis, sales had collapsed, making restructuring measures necessary.

I cannot believe it

Shouldn't it like... idk, increase? Everyone was forced to stay at home, people needed headphones and headsets much more than ever, so I'd asume headphone company could thrive...

I stopped buying from beyer a few years ago because of Brexit, sadly. Their website stopped supplying to the UK which I totally understand. A lot of other European companies did the same. The rules the UK gov put in place I think we're around the same time as covid.
