all seinnys are made in china. the higher range are "hand crafted" in germany or ireland after coming from china so that they can add a premium. the hand crafting is probably adding the ear cover, or screwing in the cable. look at everything in their lower range or mobile range, all made in china. but yeah if you buy fakies then dont expect them to be as good as the sanctioned ones, unless they off the back of the truck. sol i thought you bought these second hand not from a market? i tried searching for cables but yeah only the dj stores sell official. unfortunately not sure what the plugs are to suggest other places. EDIT: as per jaz, jaycar prob is good starter
