You don't want these headphones. The wiring is the earcups is atrocious and WILL break eventually. Just poor design and terrible build quality. You don't move production to China because it will create a better product. Save your money and buy something else.
I've had these headphones break on me twice already. Same issue, wire inside the earcup breaks.

greghCan't blame the Chinese for that one, the Q701s are made in Austria! ;)

mick2d2Actually, The Quincy cans are still being made….in China….. You gotta goto eBay or other reputable used source. Luckily, mine were still made in Aus.

mick2d2Nice! I didn’t know anything about their outsourcing, and not sure why I was surprised. I believe it’s a fairly recent move. I hear the quality of the build is terrible (wires breaking off inside), and the sound is “noticeably“ different. 2012! Good to know! I should probably find out the real cut off period. Mine have a SN#. I wonder if the Chinese do.
