The EU version of AKG K7XX is ridiculously priced. $260 is way too expensive when you can get K712 Pro brand new for $225 and less from various places. K712 Pro is still made in Slovakia, EU, not in China, although they claim "Where are these manufactured? How is the quality?
A common question that is asked is “where are these made?”. The entire 700-series family, including the K7XX, are produced in China." that all 700-series are manufactured there.
