Yes, I realize that. Trouble is, there are so many products that come from China that are bad, it often makes me forget about the quality products that do come from China. But you got to realize, the JVC SZ2000 was like a 300 dollar headphone when it first came out. You would expect a 300 dollar headphone not to snap at the hinge, you would expect that 300 dollars would get you something quality right? Well, nobody got the quality they thought they were going to get from JVC's most expensive headphones.
And because of that, I will never trust another JVC product again. Plus, the people who run the company, their personalities have truly snapped. They are mostly catering towards the wireless market now. There interested in making people who jog happy, pathetic. And yes, China does have crappy laybor laws, they allow kids working at sweat shops, making shoes for Nike for example. And they even have factories where adults are not allowed to leave the factory, they lock them in there, force them to work.
