      Why? Samsung owns Harman and puts out quality equipment. The Samsung Galaxy Pro2 buds are arguably some of the best sounding earbuds.

            As far as I am aware, AKG hasn’t done anything meaningful since the Samsung buyout. What they HAVE done is move most, if not all, all their headphone manufacturing to Asia from Europe. I really hope we don’t see Denon’s higher headphones killed off.
