Stax are still made in Japan; and the the company is owned by Edifier, a Chinese company. I bought my system for $420, USD, from a fellow in Canada. There were few hours on them.

There are plenty of headphone & amp combinations well north of $700. The magnetic planets, for example, seem to start at $300 but need an amp, and that's where the cost accelerates. Beyerdynamic, AKG, and Senn all have cans that are high-priced. There are a couple of a few of intro level Stax systems around $800 USD.

I understand your point, and I actually agree with it, but it is a quite complicated situation, national economic policy, personal financial power, and individual freedoms. The good news is that Stax is a fine company still producing outstanding products employing people who live in a great & free society.

A sincere question I have is whether Koss is still an "American" company still producing its stats in the in America.
