Why would you go straight to this thought?  You must have some issues to work out.  I simply stated that the manual said where it was printed, but the cans themselves did not have a "made in" sticker.  I thought it was odd that the more important item didn't say where it was made.  You tried to...

How do you know they were made in China?    Quote:  

I bought them online... I guess I'll send them an email.  But I was hoping some headfier's could help me out.   Quote:  

Of course it matters.  I like to know what I'm buying.  And, it's required that products list the country of origin.   As for Chinese products, I never mentioned China.  You did.  I wonder why?      Quote:  

bump.  Anyone know?  Thanks.

Hi, just got a new Fostex T50RP.  I noticed that the box does not list a country of origin.  Nor do the headphones have a "Made in..." sticker/info.  The instruction booklet says it was printed in China, but where were the cans made???  Anyone know?  Does your headphone say the country of...

I guess audio equipment is not the thing to buy in Bangkok. Thanks for all the advice though. I'll be happy to spend my money on the food stalls instead!

Hi, I'm heading to Bangkok for my honeymoon. Aside from the obvious activities, I intend to do a fair amount of shopping. I know Bangkok is well known for fake Rolexes, inexpensive tailored shirts, jewelry, etc. But what I really want to know is: are there any cool headphones/dacs/audio...

I just got my HP100 and my initial impressions are very favorable. Very neutral sound, crystal clear, tight bass, plenty of power. Works great with my X-DAC V8. Also, really great construction. Fat face plate (helps the sound, right?), Mundorf decoupling caps, Alps pot, Neutrik XLR headhone...

Hi, the timing seemed right, so I thought I'd chime in. I just received my 701s today and am eagerly listening as I type. I'm connected to a Singlepower PPX3 Slam. My previous pair of headphones were MS-2i's. My initial impressions are the 701's have a much bigger soundstage than the MS-2i's...

Hmm... is it worth buying one to compare to my PPX3 Slam?

How's this amp compare to a stock Singlepower PPX3? $310 isn't that much less than a used PPX3.
