I hope you guys all understand that my intentions on this thread are to keep it open to EVERYONES opinions because they all matter. We share impressions on the products we have to help people decide what earphones they want.
In the same breath, we all have the option to listen to whoever we want on Head-Fi. There is no right and wrong in this hobby. It's a matter of personal taste.
I could jump on an ice cream forum and say that "chocolate ice cream is the best" and show how my own custom toppings make it even better. That's fine, and anyone who wants to listen to that or take it as gospel has the right to do that. What would be entirely wrong is dismissing/arguing with other people's opinions who are different than mine. We are here to discuss products and not people. The same philosophy applies to earphones.This isn't a hobby where we should take things to a personal level.
Think about it. I personally feel that the ED9 is the best earphone that KZ has released to date from what I've heard, so I share that based on the time I've spent listening to them as well as many other earohones. Some will agree with me on that. Now, just because I said that, it doesn't mean that all other stuff is worse. It doesn't give anyone the right to argue with me, dismiss my opinion and add the "rolleyes" imoji to it.That's insulting and not what Head-Fi stands for. Agree to disagree with me and explain why. I embrace those conversations. I'm not here to instigate, but rather defend the people who's opinions have been insulted and dismissed on this thread. It's not right.
I don't want to throw my weight around on here, but I write reviews and even do beta testing for some companies. If I didn't know what I was talking about I don't think I would have these opportunities. If you disagree with me I'm not going to take it personally, it goes with the turf. Just don't be rude and condescending while doing it. When that happens you aren't doing Head-Fi or yourself any favors.
I'm not here to pick on anyone or carry on. I want to represent KZ the way they should be, and not dismiss any of their products, or the people who like them.
We all like KZ, so rather than argue let's keep things positive. Share opinions and don't dismiss people. That's all I'm saying.
Cheers guys
