All these Accura posts drove me crazy so I went searching for the source of these phones......Well, they must be made in China right.

Found one particular company that seems to be very fond of copying other people's designs, here are some links (so you won't be surprised when you see them show up in the states, especially somewhere near ChinaTown):

Likes like Koss UR40's, yet less than $10

Audio-Technica, anyone? <$25 though.....looks pretty well made too (probably higher end model of the accura line)

Most of those look like genuine Sonys, Sennheisers, and Audio Technicas.

As for the others. Well they do share some qualities of the well known headphones......but they don't look nearly as nice. Those ones that are supposed to look like Grados actually remind me of real 1940s era headphones
