There is a thread in the amp section talking about a high end headphone amp made by a Japanese company called Luxman.
This gets me thinking.
Japan has Sony, Stax, Audio Technica.
Germany has Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic.
Any good American headphone manufacturers?
The only ones that come to mind are Etymotic research, Ultimate ears, Sensaphoric, Shure, but these are not as well known as the Japanese and European brands (Koss if you want to count them, but it is not of the same caliber).
It's a pity almost all of the high end cans are made by overseas companies.
