I've never seen a Koss that is made in USA except those which are more than 20 years old....
all the AT's titanium, woodies and leather offerings are made in japan.
No one can be sure where the Ety ER4 are made now as the "made in usa" label has been removed (i suppose that means they are no longer made in usa)
all beyer portables (DTX series) are made in china while the lower DT series are made in taiwan.
most AKGs are now made in China except the most expensive ones like K501-701, K171/271, K240 and K181. all portable AKGs as well as those from K530 downwards are made in China except the newest buds, which are made in vietnam.
sony 7506/v600/cd900 are no longer manufactured in japan (though they are in the past). they are made either in china or philippines.
My impression is that most Chinese factories, especially those produce products for export, have improve their working condition. These factories are mostly along the coast regions in China and in more affluent cities.
But their means of commute is still a bit of lacking :

yeah they will never admit it..
I doubt they do, only the modding (dampening,matching,etc) is done in house.
HP series Drivers were found on these boards to be made by another company and still is available for public sale i believe (unmodded, raw form). forgot the company but it's here if you Really search. I would almost Bet $1.00 they don't manufacture from scratch their drivers..

Although you have to admire the driving skills.
The police would have a field day with the primary rider in this photo here in the US.
It's a distinct violation to ride wearing exposed white socks in the rain!
They'd certainly throw the book at this fella!
Where I live here in Florida it's cool though. Like the guy piloting the bike, you don't have to wear a hardhat. But it's a major ticket if you're not belted in into your massive SUV with front airbags and side airbags and collapsible steering post and heavy door beams and.....

lol the thing that is most funny about that picture is the driver is talking on a cell phone,
like driving with 5 people on a motorcycle wasn't bad enough
