Why? Samsung owns Harman and puts out quality equipment. The Samsung Galaxy Pro2 buds are arguably some of the best sounding earbuds.
It says Sound by AKG, how much engineering, how much marketing?
AKG was bought by Harman, which Samsung owns, and they're still putting out products. My point is just that I'm not immediately pessimistic
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.
