How is that even possible? I get that their products aren't cheap and sales might suffer from macroeconomic factors, but I sure would have thought that lockdowns and work-from-home have fuelled their sales.

There's another factor which hurts them but also makes them great. You only ever need to buy 1 pair. The build quality is phenomenal, I've had mine for 10 years and they look brand new.

If I had to buy another pair I would (well, not anymore I guess). But beyerdynamic headphones are in the 'buy it for life' category

I've had my pair of DT-100 since 1993. Still going strong, although very much the headphones of Theseus by now.

Swap some new pads, maybe a new cable, maybe a driver.
Still good.

Physics doesn't change. Audio is still air moving.
And quite frankly, we perfected that 40 years ago (well, give or take).
