Thread Starter 

Don't know if its the upcoming election and all the talk about the ailing US economy, but I am going to buy US product (as best as I can)...... SO...... any suggestion on top end MADE IN USA headphones/earbuds manufacturers that make the product here in the USA??

 

Any best kept secret manufacturers out there.... little know, but good stuff

Audez'e and Schiit come readily to mind.

 

I believe Ray Samuels and Cavalli Audio are manufacturing here in the US as well.

I believe Alo Audio can be added to that list.

As I understand it, Q Audio cables are also made in the USA, though they seem happy with just letting people know they're made in the Milky Way galaxy.

Other than the French, we don't do any business with extraterrestrials so we just keep it to "planet Earth." biggrin.gif

 

But with respect to the OP, we don't make headphones or earbuds.

The reason they're evasive about the place of origin is a certain trade embargo with North Korea. Q agents routinely smuggle the stuff out using the underground railroad.

Fair enough, though I figured Q Audio falls under the "best kept secret" category.
