Naw, I’m asking for the email people used to reach out to fatfreq not a tracking site. My tracking is dead in the water and has no data for the tracking number. So back to the question, which email did ya’ll use to reach out to fatfreq?

Seems like the general consensus is that the Deuce itself (for those that actually have it…) is executed extremely well while everything else surrounding it on FatFreq’s end is a total shit show. I get that they are a small company and a limited amount of people can really hinder progress but that also means that they need to do better. They can’t afford to just brush off negative sentiment with just “oopsie we made a mistake :point_right: :point_left:” like some of the larger companies do (looking at you KZ :face_with_monocle:) It really sucks too because FatFreq clearly know how to make really, really good in ears. All of their “consumer” releases have been great.

Complete side note as I was rereading through; FF’s primary customer base is music professionals right? (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) Could they be similar to Nvidia? In the sense that Nvidia’s primary customers are datacenters and heavy ai computing just as FF’s primaries are music professionals. Nvidia still sells consumer cards but they don’t have to. They already make a shit load of money from the professional space. I might be reaching a bit with this comparison as Nvidia is a multi-billion dollar company but it’s the best I could think of.

The biggest issue has always been self inflicted stuff that distracts from experience.
Shipping and communication

You just made me wonder, did you opened these sets before selling on eBay?..or after? how else you know whats inside? Not pun intended…I really want to know what drivers they use and what your source for that info.

I have the drivers in hand since the 2nd sample.
I know what they are and how much they cost.
They are excellent drivers.
Same DD in Scarlett :call_me_hand:
Fatfreq doesn’t skimp there.

Boy are people pissed about Fatfreq’s customer service!! But so far it seems like the Deuce itself has received a lot of praise from those who have experienced it. While FatFreq needs to step up their communication and support, it’s clear that they’re doing a great job with the product itself.

Im going to share a little story about my life as a collector of iem’s

New iem announced on pre order

I order

Reviewrs and other people get said iem before me
Everyone sings praises, I get excited

A user pops up with an opinion of the new iem is pants and they have $20 iems that outperform the new pricey iem

All while I wait slowly deflating

The end.

Ps true story for pretty much every purchase ive made

This hobby doesn’t have benchmarks.
It has Music and Emotions.
That’s it.
Pissing people off is fucking crazy.

As a counter to my negative Nancy posts, I’m still very excited to get Deuce. I think a Lizer Lab Jiju Jet tip would be a nice tip to experiment with if you can fit it.

Totally get that! Music is all about feelings.

That’s why, once you fall in love with a brand or product, there’s loyalty there and you maybe even ignore the bummers like these.

On a side note: absolutely love how passionate the community is haha

I am on the same boat with you on that Andy. So many opinions on things it’s hard to ever feel comfortable until you hear it yourself.

As far as the negative review from the user on the deuce… He criticized the drivers, but I’m pretty sure he never opened the iem. So that is a blind accusation. Secondly, he never expressed what tuning he prefers. He may be someone who only likes a harman tuned iem so this iem would never have worked for him.
