"Hey guys, this is a very interesting article. However, besides all the discussion about if the tear down denigrated the beats products or even if the product is more fashion than quality I think we are missing one more important issue here. I have heard that some of the replicas are made by the same producers of the original ones! This would be a very interesting theme to investigate, because if you think about it, where do they produce this product? (China, Taiwan, Singapore?) And where the replicas come from? Also is easier for the producer to manufacture the replicas using cheaper materials but in the same molds than the originals, with the same prints and in the same fabric! Even more, if they produce their own replicas they have the whole market for themselves. I think this is worth of a research."
