thanks for the update!

It seems China > New York in headphone manufacture!

Sadly, Denon AH-D5000 is made in China.

Just for the heck of it I decided to see where my stuff is made and this is what I found out:

Audio-Technica ATH-A900 - Made in Japan
Audio-Technica ATH-SJ5 - Made in China
Audio-Technica ATH-EM7GM - Made in Taiwan
MB Quart Phone 85 - Made in West Germany

MB Quart Phone 70 - Made in West Germany

AKG K340 - Made in Austria
Stax SR-Lambda - Made in Japan

I also looked at my other stereo equipment, and let me list a few brand names and countries of origin:

Entech - made in USA
Apogee Acoustics, McCormack - handmade in USA
Audio Matiere - handmade in France
Grundig - Made in Portugal
Stax, Pioneer, Onkyo and C.E.C. - Made in Japan
S.A.P. - handmade in Italy
Samsung - Made in China

All of my equipment is very old and I guess we can see the trand all of the new things are made in china

Sadly almost nothing is handmade anymore

Sorry, but I don't really agree with that picture. Although I live in the US, all my relatives are back in China, and in all the trips I took back there I never saw something like that before.

Imagine someone coming to the US, stays solely in the ghettos, then goes back and tells everyone about it. That's pretty much what Americans do with China.

I don't think where a headphone is made has any bearing on its performance. Nowadays, many facilities in China are kept up better than ones here in the U.S. If you doubt that, just look at pictures of Grado Labs.

Back in the 50s, no one wanted to buy Japanese products because they were considered crap. Now the best electronics are made in Japan. In another 5 years, the best electronics will all be made in China.

My Denon AH-D5000 were designed in Japan, but made in China. They are some of the best cans I've ever heard.

Ultimate Ears also makes a lot of their products here. I believe the Triple.Fi and all of their customs are made in their facilities right here in southern California. Their Super.Fi line is made in China though. They may even be making the Triple.Fi in China now too, but their first production run (the 1,000 limited editions) was made here I think.
