You very eloquently made a statement on the other forum about "riding the hype train"... well, from the looks of it... the "hype train" was about to pull into this forum... There's a fine line between what I hope to see, and "hyping and item up"... I admitted in my original post that I did NOT hear this IEM, more than likely I will once it's made available.. but, my message was a more or less let's not lose our heads over something (which a majority of people tend to do...I highly doubt every poster here has heard those IEMs except me) still in "prototype" stage and will be so until it's on the shelves available to be purchased.
And yes, I do believe that there is a level of "marketing" that goes on... when you think about it, what do IEM or any manufacture REALLY care about??? We all need to eat and keep our car payment up no? It would be totally naive to think that producing "profits" via viral marketing or whatever you want to call it doesn't exist! This is a capitalist society
Look at ALL of my threads in total (200+ posts, low number yes) and I'm a "troll".. don't think so.
And, I was kidding about the "amendment line"... It's a website, I could be booted within the next 5 mins. and?? the only saving grace would probably be my wallet gaining some weight, as I, in the past have jumped aboard that hype train.
look, this thread is a SPONSORED thread by westone to market their new product. it's designed partially to inform, partially to get some feedback, and partially to get people interested. so what's the big deal? that's what marketing is for.
for someone who hasn't even heard it yet, how can you be so certain about what it is and what it isn't? and why the need to rain on someone else's parade?
this is not to say that the thread must be all positive...i've heard the 3 and really like it...but i've heard other westone products that i haven't liked, such as the UM2. my post above was meant to be instructive to other people who are interested in the 3 but haven't yet had a chance to listen to them, so i provide a reference comparing the 3 to the UM2. i think what zanth is saying is that your post really does nothing to inform others...and while your post may not be intentionally malicious, it's not particularly helpful or informative...
