Mercenar1eNot alone but from what i have read on head-fi. Not anything to worry about. A guy posted in the forum post you can find linked here in the "reviews" section that he had a pair of the same model akg phone,one made in china the other in austria and that he "couldn't tell the difference"

Mercenar1eI was uneasy at first but oh well. Bought one anyway. What isn't made in China now days. Even if it says made in wherever, the internal pieces of it at least one piece will be made in China. As long as it sounds good, don't matter to me.

Mercenar1eI'm not one bit. As far as I'm concerned, chinese robotics are cutting edge and niche products produced in China come out just as good as home country made most generally :)

Mercenar1eits still AKG, AKG as a company wouldn't want the place of manufacture to affect the quality of their headphones.. unless you're boycotting china (I know people that are) then they're probably gonna be fine.

Mercenar1eNo you are not alone and don't be concerned. I have 702s made in China and they are fine.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
