There is almost no mention in the press or press release of any of Drop's lines of business except for keyboards. In addition, Corsair already has lines of crappy gaming headsets and better streaming mics (elgato), so Sennheiser may not be interested in a continued partnership. With as much as IEM's, DACs, and headphones have blown up it would be ashame if Corsair just closed down the Drop's audio division.
