Don’t forget Beyerdynamic. They even manufacture in Germany.

isn't philips just a nameplate nowadays?

As of a few years ago, Sennheiser’s consumer line is owned by Sonova, a hearing aid manufacturer (who I think may be American)

I've been using Sennheiser for a while, a bit lower-grade models though (Accentum Plus). Works great, the only pet peeve is that they changed buttons for a touch-screen on the right headphone, I don't like tapping it that much. But the sound is great and the equipment robust (my previous ones had lasted for 5 years with no battery or sound quality issues before someone stole them on a train...).

Philips isnt European anymore.

i was wondering why marshall is not present, do they only have good amps and speakers?

I know Sennheisers are german but those are also made in Romania these days. Nice to see Meze here as well

Anecdotally, while I love my sennies because nothing sounds like them, I'm still nursing a pair of older 559s and hoping they last forever because absolutely every single one of the newer ones I bought had or developed issues.

I wish Meze would bring back the copper finnish of the original Empyrians

They are absolutely stunning

I am super happy with my Sennheiser momentum 3

I've never tried Focal headphones but can confirm the speakers are the real deal 👌

Isn't Cambridge european?

Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro are my professional studio reference hp's for over 30 years.

I've had my Sennheiser HD650 for 8 years and I bought them used. The best part is you can buy pretty much any part (except the frame itself I think) and are easy to replace. Great sound and very comfortable.

didn't sennheiser sell some years ago?

No love for Stax?

Is rtings a good, reliable review site nowadays? I used to trust them, but it's a lot harder to trust any reviews/recommendations nowadays

Best gaming headset I had hands down was from EPOS, Seinheisers gaming branch. Alas ended up having a design flaw that broke it. Still works fine, just doenst stay on my head. Anyway, I digress, I'm here for team Seinheisers, badass audio quality.

Did Grado Labs stop making headphones?
