Can you guess why I even asked that?
It's not for judging, making fun or laughing.
I am open to a free mind; everyone should do whatever they want (unless it affects someone else).
But this is the thing... many IEMs or headphones on the market are selling as used.
Basically, you will rarely or never find a 100% honest description of the item.
I am not saying that all are hiding something, but lots are.
For items 5, 10 or even 20 years old, I read in the description: "barely used"
)
Yup, right...or only visible traces of regular use...dudes...
I am using my stuff, and I have plenty of them...
and no matter how old they are, there are no visible traces of regular use; everything is in mint condition and like new.
Why? Because I am careful when using them, simple as that.
Recently, I read some comments about running with 2k IEMs...and I was thinking...really, and then you sell them as new?!
It's easy to wipe sweat from outside, ok...but how can you wipe the internals?
So I am all good if folks do that...why not...some folks have that kind of money; 2k is like $2 for me.
I can't blame them, nor will I...
But then...if you do so...please don't put them on the market...it's not fair for others who buy them...especially with the description "like new".
Explain exactly what you were doing with your IEMs, and then it's all good, but that won't happen.
So that was my point...not to judge
That is also the reason why I avoid buying used IEMs or headphones.
I bought two pairs recently, but I was sure I was buying from individuals who treat IEMs respectfully as I do.
They know who they are...
Cheers!
