A Chinese-production version of the "Anniversary" edition of the K702 (AKA "K712") are on Massdrop right now for $199. They list it as "K7xx".
They are very cagey about not being specific about where it is made but they do say it has a "$650 MSRP"... And here is where my BS detector starts to go off. That retail price applies to the K712, which is made in Austria. Zooming in on the box pic reveals that these are made in China. Which I don't have a problem with per se, but it's Massdrop 's tricky parsing of the description that concerns me a bit.
So I was wondering whether anyone on here had any experience with these AKG's? They could be a dog, or the deal of the century.. If they are as good as the Austrian ones, no problem... But are they??? Any thoughts?
