Got to give them credit for transparency, but not sure I completely buy the B2B angle 100%. Certainly, even with the same pieces, things can come out quite differently, especially taking full ownership over things you can control.

This is certainly the most transparent of admissions I've seen from a company in a while. Nevertheless, it's not necessarily going to impact sales, since we all know the score here anyways and your typical consumer is just going to buy Beats, yo.

My Beats are exceptional actually. Regarding Advanced, it sounds like a lot of words, but appears that the answer is generally, yes. It still could very well be a nice product, no matter how sourced. I will give them credit for addressing the question head on. This is a tough crowd here on headfi. Reminds me of the uproar created when the Mobius was released with a little background hiss. People crucified them. Talk about first world problems.

I don't mean to take this off-topic (maybe) but how did you nail the "secret" and super early bird price? They were hush hush in the telegram and facebook.

It was in the pinned link at the top of the page. I checked it earlier today.

Well, I wrote them a nice reply and invited them to join the discussion and here's what Advanced said.

Dear d3myz,

LOL, yeah, as I sit here with the Studio3 next to me that's actually good for business calls and looking like a flat out baller in the office (I have the Gray version).

First World issues, indeed

Should I do it? Should I?

Hmm, if they are truly in Like New condition, not bad. I got mine new on a fluke clearance at Target for $104. Totally happy with them at that price.

 

[ticoss]

What am I missing? Sarcasm? what’s special about the buds and that price?

Maybe a little one .
in fact, I doubt that they sold 100 of them because it was the purpose of their promotion on Aliexpress, and here I still see them at this "special" price: https://www.facebook.com/JadeAudio.Co/posts/715475722237623

Ran in to these today. HIFIMAN TWS600, they are $55 off at amazon. Has anyone talked about them here?

Is there a way to force the bt20s to use AAC over aptx? When I switch in developer settings it stays in aptx. Tx.
