    Bwahahaha! Um...no. The "unique sound" they produce is laughter from the people that sold them to you.

    I would rather we see reviews of equipment than "announcements" of what's to come. There is an awful lot of tech stuff coming out every week, no need to look at something you cannot review.

    So posted a link for the purpose to "endorse" this product ,with no disclosure of any kind of any partnered or business relationship to this product?
    This is not a clear advertisement,this is disguised as a news announcement with no disclosures.

    If you were "influenced"to post this "announcement" it must be disclosed,especially since an endorsement was included.
    This is basically called "native advertising"trying to disguise the true intent of the article.

    Anyone even THINKING of spending this much money on IEM's should really go to https://www.head-fi.org/

    I was expecting a display after i read In-Ear Monitors. Now that would justify a price.

    Funny you mention diamonds, as that is a classic example of something that doesnt have any intrinsic value that has been artificially inflated and marketed to that point that masses associate diamonds with something rare and precious 

    Thanks DeBeers

    This is the kind of shit people with zero sense and too much money buy




    What? How do diamonds have no intrinsic value, it's one of the hardest naturally occurring materials and has tons of industrial uses.

    I don't think you understand the definition of intrinsic value.

    "An asset’s value is essentially driven by the (discounted) value of the future cash that asset will generate."

    When you go to a jewelry story and spend $5000 on a diamond ring - but then a year later you want to sell it back - you might get $200 for it.

    Because diamonds are sold to you at a massive markup - you will never recoup your investment - it's always a loss on your part.

    This is why diamonds (just to be clear - I am talking the ones you buy at a jeweler not the ones on the tip of your drill bit) have no intrinsic value.



    Agreed, it's basically just a piece of rock sold to people at artificially inflated prices....

    Pro tip, in the coming apocalypse, stockpile meds, firearms, ammo, liquor, and food...leave the jewelry behind.

    Maybe they are simply announcing a crowdfunding program to build overpriced earphones.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    How many contests are they going to have for free ones?

    I'm...sure these are great, but I wonder what quality regular headphones you could get for that much money.

    They don't even translate languages, why would I pay so much for some headphones that don't even have translation software in them? https://spacemazing.com/best-language-translation-earbuds/

    What a ripoff. Doesn’t even come with RGB and liquid cooling.

    How are you going to advertise a product as a review with a endorsement but no disclosure.


    Imagine seeing this even seven years ago here. Dude you are as sketchy as your reviews lol.

    They look crazy, not my style but I would like to hear them just to hear the difference.

    If you want a new idea, go read an old book.

    In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'
