I was reading a lot of stellar reviews on CAD products online -- not necessarily that they are top-notch performers but that they are an excellent value.  Owning one of their microphones, I was intrigued when I ventured onto their site and saw that CAD has some headphone offerings as well. Saw these on sale one day and just couldn't resist.  My reasoning was that if CAD could make quality dynamic mic capsules, they might have an idea or two on how to make a nice headphone.  Then I did some research and found these were rebranded china.  Oh well...
