Back in 2016 AKG was told by its parent company, Harman, that it was relocating from Vienna to California. Some AKG employees declined the offer, and instead stayed put and established a new brand called - hey! - Austrian Audio.
Since then Austrian Audio has established itself as a genuine force in making the best wired headphones, but beyond making other great-value consumer-focused headphones, the brand is also in the pro audio microphones market.
