Are the Q701's that Amazon are selling still being Made in Austria or do they now sell the ones from China as of this year 2014?

I don't know, but it's a real probability. I have Sony MDR V6 made in Thailand; Harman Kardon , Infinity ,JBL, Sherwood, Panasonic, and several other "old name brands," American and Japanese, all now made in China. It is all about competition and I haven't noticed any real change in quality. As for the knock off's , it is hard/impossible to knock off a set of good headphones; the sound will give them away immediately.

It says right here in the description these are assembled in China. You might get lucky and get older inventory made in Austria, but I would not count on it.

Mine are green and say 'Made in Austria'. However, they arrived with the left side black plastic (with the "Q" logo) fallen off of the unit and laying beside it in the box. I popped it back on, along with the round foam that had also fallen out and gave it a slight turn to hold it in place. I've only used them a handful of times since purchase and yesterday, I went to put them on and the same piece popped off again, dropping the foam out onto the floor. Kinda annoying given that they are supposed to be well-made and moderately expensive.

I purchased mine(white) on June 27, 2014 and it is Made in Austria. Maybe i'm just lucky.

I am not sure for the following headphones. But the one I bought is made in Austria.

No longer. Mine is 'Made in China '. I think the reason is because I have bought it late... I bought it in September... so I decided to buy another K712 which is still manufactured in Austria.

Based on my telephonic query to the company, this model is made in Australia. The lower-priced models are made in China.

That is something to bring up to Amazon, they post this photo. The ones we sell are real AKG product, and we only know of Q460 model in the U.S.

Made in China but well-made nonetheless - it appears AKG has retained their high QC standards. These have always been high-quality headphones and that has not changed, I'm delighted to report.

Mine is. There's a photograph in Amazon (of the back of the amp) showing it's made in Japan. Maybe the first ones were. Nowadays they're made in China. At least, as I said, mine is.

Amazon UK carries the German version for about 1500 Euro. The model is called P1801-B073K. I'm going to wait for the US version.

Some low end models are made in China. And those that are made in China have problems with quality and reliability. Mine died after 2 yrs!

The one I got through amazon was made in China. No problems with it within the first month.

I've just checked the box. It says that they are made in China but that the "acoustics" where made in Europe...?? It also says that it was designed in Germany. I hope this helps.

Some are made in China. Others are made in Austria. It is really luck of the draw which one you get. However, the difference in sound quality should be negligible.

I don't remember for sure, but I think maybe China. But don't let that scare you as they are very good for the price. I have 4 and love them.

The 845's are designed in Austria. The headphone and packaging are silent on where they are actually assembled(made) Likely made in China but that is a guess.

I wish they weren't , I have 2 of them. They work very well for me. I did not know they were made in China when I brought. They are sold in tourist shop in Alaska I hope Alaska makes money on them. I brought refurbish at a great price an they came in excellent condition.

No, they are made in China. That was a big issue with me when I bought mine (a year ago?) I complained to the reseller and to Amazon that the image used was misleading. If this question is still coming up, maybe nothing was changed.
