Has anybody got any experience with Chinese made headphones. I don't mean the brands we all know that decided to shift their production to China. I'm wondering about the Chinese designed and made headphones.
One of my mates orders quite a bit from Chinese websites. He recently came across headphones that use 50mm beryllium drivers. Closed back, decent specs and low impedance. He got himself an open box pair and it sadly came damaged. One of the drivers snapped off.
He only paid about $50. I've seen but not heard them. The build quality looked decent in all fairness and should they came fully working they'd look easily worth as much. Sound wise I cannot tell as we didn't test them.
I remember when China started making tablets etc. at first they were large and technically sub par. Nowadays there are some decently made devices with good specs and it's mostly software that suffers. No software with headphones I'm aware of hassle should things go wrong but at under $100 am tempted.
Would it be a waste of money, calculated gamble or smart choice? Any experiences or advice, please. Thanks
