High quality things.

The Sennheisers that I've used have had pretty awful low range response. Audio Technica ftw.

They often have a flat response curve and you need an amp to drive the higher power drivers. Depends which model you buy, and what you are plugging it into.

Le Crueset pans.

I was shocked by the prices for a long time. Then got a voucher from a friend and coughed upped the rest for one of their non-stick saute pans.

There is absolutely no comparison to anything I've ever had. Collection has grown to cast iron skillet and sauce pot now.

It's made in China. I like good quality cookware... any other notable brands to recommend?

Just because something is made in China doesn't mean it's bad.

If it was DESIGNED in China that would have been a different story.

BMW's are built in South Africa...so they must be bad?

Le Creuset? Those of the legendary foundry in Aisne?

I think you might be confused, or referring to some sort of auxiliary apparatus that they sell which is not specifically cast iron cookware.

Their cast iron cookware is made in their foundry in Aisne.

EDIT: almost as I suspected, from their Wiki page:

Production

To manufacture their cast iron cookware, the Le Creuset foundry uses standard sand casting methods. After hand finishing, items are sprayed with at least two coats of enamel. The enamel becomes resistant to damage during normal use. Currently, all Le Creuset cast iron cookware is still manufactured in the company's foundry in Fresnoy-le-Grand, where workers employ a 12 step finishing process implemented by 15 different pairs of hands to ensure that there are no flaws or imperfections in the final product.

However, Le Creuset products that are not cast-iron may be made in other countries, such as China (accessories or silicone products), Thailand (kettles and ceramics), England (enamel cleaner), and Portugal (stainless steel).[citation needed]This is due to the mastery level these countries have in manufacturing the materials.
