Hi, it’s possible. I doubt they still manufacture them actively, or they simplified / lowered production quality today. I got a new pair back in 2018, but the sound in bass range is not as deep as it is on my “original” model from 2010 (but the old ones are now with almost completely broken plastic frame). So, I plan to swap drivers from the old version and put them in new ones eventually (I don’t use them anymore though, hence the “delay”).

Just to update. I took the faulty earpiece apart in my HD 201s and there was no sealed (glued) black box inside – just two wires soldered directly to the speaker. This confirms my suspicion that refurbished HD 201 units are being sold as “New” Sennhesier headphones on eBay (possibly elsewhere too). They’re either China knock-offs or leftover packaging and casings from OEM moldings. This may be why Sennheiser stopped selling HD201s and started selling HD206s. One advantage is that they are easy to solder, but the connections can be broken by the slightest tug.
