They are getting help.
By “help”, I mean …if Jerry Harvey had sought out that help earlier
he wouldn’t have basically folded
Empire Ears would not have ground to a halt with EE X “Some other company”
being only profit making option.
The Economics of “Business”
Being a person who promotes China made goods…watching other China cough supported goods (advertised as other indirectly) get the big markup and them being implied to be superior…is a bit annoying.
Truth is (which many know but don’t say) is that most earphones come from China.
Almost ALL of the internal components are sourced from China.
If MADE IN CHINA is something folks think is bad…they really have been captured by this hobby.
Completely agree. The one thing where some of the Chinese manufacturers are not helping themselves is perhaps the ‘sold from’ China part and the issues that arises (at times) when there are defective units involved (we’ve all seen those posts on Hifiguides I think). People are used to the way in which Western companies deal with that sort of thing (there are exceptions as well of course, but in Europe laws are quite strict so we expect the same when ordering abroad I think). The easy way around that is to buy from reputable resellers of course, even if that means less variety.
There aren’t that many reviews out yet but the Alien Brain caps are apparently quite nice when you see them IRL. PS I was reacting to the clipped part form the Alien Brain thread (just to avoid confusion).
Counterpoint:
People who use Amazon’s return policy (or used to) to get sets to try without any intention on keeping them.
That’s Fraud, and I can’t believe anyone ever said that shit out loud.
Those same folks, try and return sets to China with fraudulent claims.
If a company asked me to destroy a set on video…I’d jump at the chance!
Can we livestream it?
Will you please post my vid on yours site?
Can I smash everyone’s bad set?
Completely agree with your counterpoint. That kind of behaviour is unacceptable. That means they must have also made up issues with the sets they ordered, right (not just with the Chinese sets I mean)? Over here, you cannot return any IEMs bought on Amazon once the package has been opened (unless there is a defect) because they are classified as a ‘hygiene item’. I assume that’s standard policy for Amazon everywhere. The mind boggles what people will do nowadays without any sense of shame…
I started on the bags today but got my drill pace wrong again. I put a playlist on and worked it for 15 minutes or so. Then I remembered that I had a specific boxing playlist from years ago. I wasn’t sure how long I’d been going (it felt longer) and the first track that played used to be my finishing track, so I put some effort in. I was disappointed when I saw how long I had done at the end but it felt really good to do my routine again.
I would definitely want to hear an actual owner’s (as opposed to reviewer’s) opinion on the Earman en Elite. Especially the Elite goes from competent to ‘best thing since sliced bread regardless of price’ as far as the reviews out there are concerned.
I intend to do the video, but I got to first actually conduct the research aka listen intently to everything and figure out what I really think, then figure out how I am going to structure the video and so on.
To cram everything into one video is a fair amount of work, but I feel at the moment it’s best to do rather than make separate videos for each unit.
