Um, from what I understand OVC developed these themselves and presumably did the tweaks as OEM for Crossroads, all the while selling these as the T20 under the OVC nameplate, so it seems you're insulting the actual company that designed and produced these to defend a brand that licensed them to sell them to people like you at a much higher price.

The headphones listed here are not counterfeit, as was already pointed out in this thread. Sennheiser has its headphones made in China because it's far, far cheaper than doing it anywhere else, and in the case of the CX300 it is also a product designed and sold by the Chinese branch of a Japanese company first, which is how nearly the same product could also be licensed to and built for Creative, Sharp, and AKG.
