Idunno after getting some chifi stuff like hifiman, moondrop, timeless that outperform euros for fraction of the cost (hd600 is a ridiculous 300+ eur for ancient set of cans vs hifiman h400i that could be had for 90 bucks at one point)
A shout out to Austrian Audio (former AKG engineers), Focal, and Meze. Some of the best high-end audio companies for headphones, not that beyer is bad, I just don’t personally enjoy their sound signature.
Also on the amp side of things Analogvibes is a German company producing diy tube compressors and equalizer kits for music production. On the pricey side for sure but the quality cannot be beat, they sound and feel absolutely beautiful.
As a American, I really do love Electrolux appliances.
Also, for headphones, beyer dynamic. Damn they make a great set of cans.
Tbf, most great headphone makers are European

Chifi is definitely also some good stuff. I love my Moondrop Aria IEMs. But I also love my Sennheiser, Beyer and Meze cans.
I’d like to get some beyer closed headphones but the 7hz timeless is so good it blows everything sub 500 out of the water.
