    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Getting rid of Dan is definitely a step in the right direction, as was that video.  Hopefully someone else can step in who does a better job of customer relations, because honestly Rob isn't bad at that but he needs to be focusing on the IEMs themselves.

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    It looks like, as of the most recent Facebook post, Rob is taking over customer service again.  Everything went to crap communication-wise when Dan took that over a couple months ago, so hopefully Rob can right the ship again.  Whatever I could say about the rest of the experience, communication...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Sorry, took these fast with my cellphone camera, but hopefully they get the idea across.  Forgot to get pics of the cable, but it's pretty simple... a very thin copper cable with no memory wire and a beefy plug.

    Pics will be up later tonight when I have access to my better camera.

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Honestly, knowing what I know now?  Yeah, I probably would.  Granted, I've never used anyone else for reshelling, but I can say that the fit is perfect on the first try, the finish is quite nice, and the big reason I went with them (the fact that he offered me a cable that fit exactly what I was...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    I asked him what the deal was with my headphones and he said they shipped and gave me a tracking number, I guess something screwed up with their email service (which would explain a lot, honestly).  Then I found out it was getting here today.   And it's here.   And I love it.   The...

    And just like that, I should be getting my headphones today.  Let's see how they turn out!

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    For the most part I agree with you.  My whole "he's nice" and "they're a start-up" thing is mostly because I don't want to bum myself out (edit: though I want to make clear, I absolutely don't think this is a situation like what your links mention.  I honestly don't think Rob is trying to screw...

    KOSS UR40: PERFECT!

    Quote: To be fair, for some people the UR40 might be significantly more comfortable than the KSC75 or PortaPro, which might very well make it worth double considering how cheap they are to begin with.   Anyway, yeah, very good for their price range.  Far from perfect, but a good...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    Like I said, I accept that they're a startup and got more orders than they could handle.  I'm understanding of that, especially in light of seeing them bring more people on to get the work done.  I also don't want them to rush the product... I'll gladly wait longer if the result is better. ...

    INEARCUSTOM - Cheapest re-shell ever?

    As of Monday it will have been two months since I sent payment.  There have been two issues that both delayed things (mistakes on their part, once in shipping and once in the actual creation of the earphones), in addition to the standard "we don't have enough people" thing they addressed, which...

    Website's working for me, but yeah, the relative lack of communication is a little troublesome.

    Dilemma: Should I not believe any reviewers who talk about cables or just ignore that section of their review?

    Oh, I know that the problems with HDMI can be numerous, but the ways in which they manifest themselves aren't subtle.  You can't pretend you're seeing a slightly flatter image as the result of a defective HDMI cable.   And yeah, whenever I start getting too into audiophile stuff and start...

    Dilemma: Should I not believe any reviewers who talk about cables or just ignore that section of their review?

    The thing with an HDMI cable is that when it isn't working properly, it's blatant.  With an audio cable it's easier for people to convince themselves of slight differences because it's not an all-or-nothing proposition like HDMI.   WITH THAT SAID... there are people who think a better HDMI...

    Shure SE846: A New In-Ear Flagship From Shure. Finally! (Impressions p26-28)

    Quote: Then why bring it up, given that it's a total non sequitur?   And I don't know about you but I've been reading the impressions just fine as they come in.  It's not like there's a maximum post limit and we're pushing out all the impressions that would otherwise be here.  There...

    Best price/performance range?

    Quote: The entire point of a price/performance ratio is that it's about where the best value for the money lies, not where the absolute best performance lies.  Nobody is shooting down high-end gear merely by pointing out that the concept of diminishing returns exists and is a real thing...

    The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.

    Yep, just jumping in to confirm that I was able to price match with Best Buy as well.   laowai, the reason companies like Best Buy do this is because they know the vast majority of people will never, ever take advantage of it, but the mere possibility that they could encourages them to spend...

    Shure SE846: A New In-Ear Flagship From Shure. Finally! (Impressions p26-28)

    Quote: That's not remotely what he said.   He's saying FitEar costs more because they're a small outfit and therefore don't have the buying power or production capabilities of a larger company.  Therefore, the extra price is a result of the increased manual labor required.  This isn't a...

    Shure SE846: A New In-Ear Flagship From Shure. Finally! (Impressions p26-28)

    Quote: Yep, on the consumer end we know Shure for their earphones because that's what's targeted at us, but it's not what really pays the bills.
