Right on, perfectly in tune with what psychologists and sociologist claim. At least in the ones we use in my class.

From the companies point of view they will always be interested in getting promotion for their product, sending out review samples is a great way to show of your product to the rest of the world and possible buyers. If a product gets a good review the publicity is great if it gets a mediocre one it is alright from the manufacturers point of view because it is still valuable marketing.

Products that do not perform well will get a bad review therefore most of the companies who know their product do not live up to market standards tend to hide and only do online marketing via ads.

Now some companies are so big that they do not need this type of marketing, but that is only the minority companies like Logitech, Microsoft, and other huge brands.

but at least in some countries like US, u can return the unit within certain period if not satisfied. so, the "good feedback to justify purchase" is not a good claim.

wish i can do that here, buy 10 iems, returned 9 units after 1 week haha

On the other hand, Sotiris doubts may have some grounds. Though these grounds are quite different from those he claimed.

Look, trusty reviewers will not write the false. So if the product have some troubles, he'll let us know. The right question is:

Will the vendor provide this particular reviewer with the sample of a new product next time?

I doubt this.

Yes, thankyou. I agree with you: the PK1 are amazing buds.

Sotiris,

I have read your posting before this review. While I don't care about your hatred towards head-direct, or for this matter to any seller, and I am not interest in defending fang or anyone for a sample I got for fun, I don't like youe attitude towards me. I have described a headphone at the best of my possibilities, and I don't care if it will be a winner in the market or a loss of money for both the maker and the retailer. Should I be so cheap to push a product just in exchange of a free sample? If I wanted to pronstitute my reputation and honesty, I'd be much more expensive than this. And I'd last really short time, as endorsers like what you are insinuating are easily spotted by anyone who has a bit of knowledge of the poster, or of the headphone. I haven't been pushed by head-direct to tailor a review on their needs. I listen to a headphone, I state what I hear exacly, I don't care if it will sell because it's not my money, nor my job. I don't know you and I have no idea why you would be bashing this particular seller instead of others, and it isn't my concern unless you start talking crap against me. Last note, is this review really positive? I have stated the headphone's strength and its weak points. I have an opinion of the G1 sound and I expressed it the way I am able to. I adviced towards buying it for listening to good recordings (with which it sounds stellar) and I adviced against rock and poor recordings (sibilance with some rock). I described the headphone as bright, which it is, so it's for he like the particular flavour.
I think you didn't even read my review with attention, and just bashed against me for the issue you seem to have with the seller. Again, I don't care about your problems, but refrain from insulting someone you don't know and have never been in touch with.

Thanks for another great review Tony, always enjoyable to read your thoughts on new toys

One thing I'd like to know, how's the bass compared to the Pk1? Your comment on the G1 being great for electronica and trance music caught my eyes, but one thing I don't enjoy about the Pk1 is the lack of bass (unless you use those huge Radio Shack replacement covers, which then makes the Pk1 really hard to stay in my ears but DO enhance the bass by a lot).

I'm not looking for a basshead portable headphone, only looking for something WITH bass..

Hello Squir,

The G1 have less bass than the PK1. Neither has deep bass (which might be what you are looking for). I always stress the deep bass thing as, after having owned the SR-X MkIII Pro, I got in love with the thunderous way it representes the deepest notes. Unfortunately I have never seen the same bass quality in any other headphone, apart from some hints with Etys with the stock black foam tips .
Spacially, the G1 bass is projected farther than PK1 bass, but the G1 are not basshead headphones.
You would be better served by the Shure SE530 or maybe Triple.fi.

May you try G1 with better source?
I want to try the G1 with a decent DAC and home amp to see how things improve. The iRiver E10 is one of the best mp3 players out there, but it's still inferior, for example, to the M-Audio Audiophile 2496.
I also plan to buy a Mini^3, since it might be useful on the go.

Before i go out in the limb and getting one. For me it was i can get any the yuin lineup. The thing is that i am going to use it on my Cowon D2 and most of the time uses the fiio amp. When you say it's revealing do you think there as revealing as your Grado's cuz i owned sr60's and now own SR125's and i am used to it by now. Then again to me they make any source sound good. I am mostly listen my comp with a sound blaster Live!. Old card but seems to sound pretty good with my PAPV2 amp. I guess for me ignorance is bliss . Or I am so used it i ignore it.

Nocturnal, I have not heard the PX100. Based on headfi impressions, they should be a totally different animal, dark and cloudy.

I have only heard the Koss KSC75 as other clipons, and the G1 are on a different planet compared to the Koss. I would like to hear the Apuresound-recabled ATH-EW9 one day, they are the only clipon I would consider as a contender against the G1, but I don't think I'll have a chance to listen to them soon. They might be a lot more expensive than the G1 due to the expensive recable (the stock EW9 itself is in the 130$-180$ price range).

i never accused anyone....I defend the right i have to try to look at the other side of the coin..I will pleased if next time someone ,at least one, read a review and try to figure out if it is a authentic one or the attempt of a company to promote its product.Never the guilty admits his illegality until it is proved.

Neither the accusator (because your words keep having an insulting mood) admits his illegality, even if proven wrong.

Don't behave like a victim now, after having called me basically a scam.
Please spare your mistrust for thread where it's needed, even if they aren't about head-direct products you seem to keep so much in your heart.

I assume you mean the EW9 and not ESW9
