Kramer, really? Wow thanks for the info.Not that I have a problem with china made gear ,I know Chinese can and do make some quality products,but c’mon….So much talking at their website about “Swedish engineering” “highly creative and artistic Swedish designers” etc etc …and they are from China? And no mention about this at jays.se: Their site lets you believe that d-jays is a Swedish product while its only a Swedish design .

Ever been to an Ikeya store?
I wouldn't cry over it too much, afterall, they ARE designed by Jays in Sweden, but manufactured in China. Just surf all the late-friday, and poor Grado QC threads... How many RS-1s and lately RS-2s do you see being complained about?... Now... How many iGrado (made in China) complaints have you read about? I cant recall a SINGLE iGrado complaint. I also have not read a single Yuin QC complaint.
Its nothing new... Everyone raves about Toyota Camry and Honda Accord Japanese quality, Guess where those are made?... North America for both.
IMHO quality has very little to do with country of origin, you can find poor examples from all over the world.

It's not a big deal. The designed in xxx, but made in yyy is everywhere. My Sennheiser HD595 was made in China, not Germany.
