If I were you I would email them and demand to be able to get the upgrade for the lower price. If they have any decency they will agree.


I did open a ticket last Friday, and only got a response yesterday. I was told that costumer service will report it to Gavin and maybe he will do something.
I highly doubt anything will be done though.
 
I had a similar issue with their Audeze LCD XC/3 bundles. Since I backed too early, I had to go through the "Old Friends" perk to get a LCD3. However, it was $378 more than what bundle was going for. I emailed them, both Casey and Tami told me I had to pay that difference still. I decided not to join the "Old Friends" perk, but didn't mind because I rather have the Pulse Xfi instead of the Pulse X anyways. And maybe it was because I have the Pulse Xfi.
I opened another ticket, explaining the situation for those who got the Pulse X:
Pulse X + LCD3: $2145
Pulse X + "Old Friends" LCD3: $777 + $1746 = $2523
Stephanie, who answered this ticket, told me she'll talk to her supervisors. Then the very next day, they closed the Audeze bundles.
 
Now they decided to add the "movin' on up" perk. People who joined the Audeze LCD3 (which was only one I think, but still), not only got the LCD3 for $1368, but now they can upgrade their Pulse X to the Pulse Xfi for a lot cheaper than what I paid for the Pulse Xfi.
 
This, to me, is just ridiculous.

They've never made it clear if the THD applied to Soul Tube as well, though some think the Tube wouldn't benefit the same way. Anyone have any information on this?

The Old Friends perk is for backers who already bought a Pulse.
 
As of now there are 6470 members. Roughly 5000 have 0 Posts, and roughly 1000 have under 10 posts. Numbers are fine and the Force is growing, but quality > quantity.

 
Oh, you're right. That's for getting certain items that are not Pulses but are associated with the Pulse and shouldn't be mentioned in public. *cough* Thanks for the correction Xuan!
 
The thing I mentioned, where you backed all previous campaigns, was something Gavin mentioned as a possibility for future projects. I mixed them up.
 
And you guys wanted me for historian/keeper. :p

Can anyone who was at the HeadFi meet or has had a listen possibly post their thoughts on the Xfi. I hope to have a DNA stratus incoming soon (with unbalanced in) so the balanced nature would be of no use to me right? Its hard to understand just how much upgrade I'm buying in "upgraded capacitators + femto clocks".

Well, I went for the THD upgrade. I have it on my Wave XD Ti SE and GO SE, may as well have it on my Pulse Xfi. At least I have the standard Pulse to hold me until the Xfi with THD arrives. I'm not bothered if it pushes my Xfi back in the queue.
 
Speaking of listening to the Pulse... soon. I'll have some first impressions up tonight and then hopefully a comparison in the next day or two. I feel like I have an obligation to the yet-to-be backers; I need to get impressions out for all of you so that you can get in before the forever campaign "ends." I'm guessing that they're going to turn the Pulse Forever Campaign into the Wave Forever Campaign on the 28th.

Could you edit out that link in your post?
I don't know if that's your referral link or the original poster's, but that's a referral link in there.

Ah, fixed. I originally just had the hyperlink text edited, but not the actual link. I fixed the actual link now, so it shouldn't be the referral link.
Thanks for catching that!
