Hi. Are you affiliated with Aful or HifiGo by any chance? You post reads like an advertisement and this forum already has had a bad experience with HifiGo astroturfing shenannigans. Also, your activity on this forum only involves posts that are connected to products that are sold by HifiGo.

If you are affiliated, please have the decency to flat out say this from the start. You will get alot more respect this way and not be viewed with suspicion.

DAWN-X It has the worst build quality and shell design. I guess the sound is BS too, no matter how much you advertise it…:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Hi.
To clarify, I am not affiliated with AFUL or HifiGo. My posts are focused on AFUL products because that’s where my current interest lies, and I wanted to share structured impressions in line with how Hifiguides threads are usually presented – short and concise.

The Dawn X you see right there, I bought it.

I’m not here to advertise. Sound impressions are always subjective.

Regarding DAWN‑X, build quality and shell design are fair points to raise. Experiences can vary depending on fit and expectations - ie not your sound preference.

This is… hard to believe :joy:

Did you pay full retail price for that Dawn X?

You’re only posting hifigo stuff, and you’re literally reposting their marketing material (the p8s post). I suspect you’re just like @SuperJunee.

Idk why hifigo insists on this marketing tactic. Hope they wise-up and take it down a notch :see_no_evil_monkey:
