Hmmmm....

I dunno. They're nice, but 'nothing special' still applies for me. If they'd just go that tiny bit further detail wise, just a tad... Look at the stitching for example. And the 'corks' at the side don't seem quite right. They're still great cans though, very nice midrange...

Oh well. This whole debate is a bit silly of course. Individual products should be judged individually.

Nothing special, with exceptions of course.
They may provide great value for money though

I am from that country and I refrain from purchasing Chinese electronics. But hey, which current high-capacity line-outable DAP is Made in the U.S.A.? Or am I getting too political?

Those Chinese products with their sheer verity and interesting designs have infused some blood into this hobby which was very boring with bland black box designs of the west, which is still prevalent.

When it comes to amplifiers and DACs the Chinese are clear winners. Its just a matter of time when they start making headphones as well.
