Indeed. There was a (Korean?) company called Sonlun that used to make a much better clone of the CK10 housings, though they were not sold as fake Audio-Technicas but rather under Sonlun's own name. They seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth completely, though. Maybe that's why these guys are keeping  their 'clones' cosmetically disparate from real CK10s...
