In March 2014 AKG informed me that *all* AKG headphones are now being designed in Austria and assembled in China. The AKG "Professional Headphones" web page identifies only the K712 and K812 as still "Made in Austria". So it appears the AKG K701s "Made in Austria" will gradually disappear as the remaining stock gets depleted.

mine are made in austria, but i heard that AKG made a switch to china recently. in fact when you check out their website, the made in austria feature is highlighted only for the newer k712 and not for the older k702. If that's anything to go by the k701 and the k702s are no longer made in austria

They are made in Taiwan and designed in Germany. The build quality is solid.

mine were made in Austria, but I purchased mine 2 years ago. I've heard they started making them in China so I'm not sure.

The black one I purchased was made in China. Regardless, it's a great headphone with impressive sound. I recently compared it to a pair of Audeze LCD-2s (source: NuForce Icon iDo with an iPod Classic as the digital source, running ALAC (lossless) files), and the AKG compared much better than I thought it would. The LCD-2 is great, but the AKG gets 90 percent of the way there at 1/4 of the price.

These are made in JAPAN. But I suggest you not buy this and instead go with the ATH-m50x. MUCH better quality for the price you pay.

To my understanding; the newer version " without the bumps on head band" are made in China. The one I just received is made in China " no bumps on band".

Dear,It is made ​​in China, but it has amazing sound quality.Pros: Not neutral but very balanced sound, bass transients/impact, detailed highs, clear midrange, pinpoint details in wide soundstage.

The HD-555s are made in Germany/ Europe/ China, or as it says in the box: "Designed in Germany - Accoustics Made in Europe - Made in China". I don't know how they compare to the HD-558s, I've never tried those, so I can't say. Hope I've help answer your question.

The unit is made in China. The Speaker I purchased has been one of the best. Outstanding sound and I plan to purchase one more.

Apparently they are made in China...mine shipped from Singapore...I wish Apple would have made a better system to charge and sync their products. Sorriest system I've ever seen. The best I have had so far is from Belkin. It costs more but lasts longer. Apple should redesign their products for a more user friendly product that lasts longer..RR.

make in china ,they said designed in UK .well build is good but even the comfy tip are not the right size ,with all the tip still not fitting well for me .As which will affect the sound quality alot so cannot get a good comparison ;the eu 600 sound less bright and easy to my ear& fit consistence. But build is less than RHA.

The paperwork was printed in Germany, But on the headset it says Made in Ireland. I searched for any Made in China tags or markings, and I found nothing of that kind. To be completely honest, I would buy them again regardless of where they were made . The box they came in screams Quality, I suspect Germany might be involved. I am going to Google Them.

yes, I believe they were made in China - but they fit American ears as well :)

Made in China of course! That's why mine lasted less than a year (ES8103S), not very long for an $80.- investment.
