LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread

[SeeHear]

  Got a really good deal on the Geek Out V2+ infinity and I pulled the trigger this morning. Gonna be a few weeks till I get it but totally worth it! Thanks LH labs for having awesome customer service!

 
 

What's the good deal? Can you share, please?

 
 
It seems getting it is the good deal.  I ordered a GOv2 last June and still haven't heard a peep out of them except to offer me the crappy Verb IEMs.  Since I'm a little slow, I bought 4 as gifts. They all failed with in 1 week of use. 
 
SMH

I just asked customer service about upgrading my V2 and we worked something out  doesnt hurt to ask!

Hmm, thats a shame, if I were in your shoes I would be pretty ticked off. I got lucky perhaps. I ordered on Sep 9 last year, and I had it in hand the next day in Toronto. The key is to send customer service an email. Personally speaking. they have ALWAYS gone the extra mile to help me. Their happiness agents esp Stephanie and Gina are stellar and helped me out quite a bit. Have you tried emailing customer service? I know that LH Labs gets a bad rep but I would also like to add that I have had nothing but fantastic experiences with them. Ymmv.

I should clarify: I ordered the GOV2+.
Still, I've received no update in months.

I was in the same boat initially. Going for months without a firm shipping date, so i asked for a refund but my initial credit card was cancelled and paypal has a bit of a problem. So Gina helps me out big time to speed up my unit. received it 2 weeks after my complaints. Really like to thank Gina for helping. The unit still look ugly despite "all the modified chasis". 
 
But the sound is wonderful.  Geek out V2+ kicks the Oppo PM3 alive. They are engaging, giving life in the music...
 
But closed to 6 months wait, is never the way to buy a gear. Never again.

At the advice of many, I opened a ticket. Gina said my device will be shipped at the end of March.  We'll see.

Guess it'll be a while before the + versions hit retail if crowdfunders are only just starting to get theirs.
If anyone tries their V2+ with Walkman as transport would love to hear if it works.
 
Though I'll probably lose patience and just get a Mojo or something... I think crowdfunding is not for me, could  barely handle when some preorder headphones took a month

What does the final unit look like? I know there were pictures in this thread but couldn't find them.

Still waiting for my GOV2+ Infinity.  Gina said end of March or beginning of April.  I did get a Mojo a couple of months ago and am very happy with it.  When the GOV2+ Infinity finally arrives, will do an extensive head-to-head comparison.  I am particularly interested in the balanced output of the GOV2+ Infinity, as I have read that it compares favorably with the single-ended Mojo.  I agree with others - I am finished with crowdfunding for good.

Looking forward to your comparo!

That looks different than those in post #605

Yes, we're onto the THIRD v2+ chassis design.
Hence the continual waiting, while they sort it out, before pressing the go button.
 
+ lead times, changes in location, changes in personnel, "the dog ate the check" etc etc.

Does this mean the promised ship date of "W4 March" is meaningless, then?
