IT'S REVIEW TIME!
After much anticipation and over a year of showcasing demo units at CanJam's around the world, we are excited to announce that it's time to start getting some official reviews on the Explorer! As I type this we are rolling out the first finished production units to be sent out to the eager hands of our IndieGoGo backers, and will be announcing a global launch date very soon
As is the tradition of Echobox, we rely on the feedback from members of this community to help spread the word about new products. We are a grassroots audio company, and Head-Fi is the definitive grassroots audio community, so we can't wait to hear what you have to say about our long awaited new DAP!
In order to reach as many people as possible, we will be coordinating full review tours for each of the following regions:
United States
SE Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, etc...)
S. Korea
Japan
UK
EU
Review time will be limited to 1 week for each region, and each region will be capped at 10 review candidates. Review priority will be granted based on request submission, so the first to request will be the first to receive. We do reserve the right to choose the final review candidates, however, and will be basing our decision off of a few factors including review history, size of audience, influence among audience and desire to review our product. In other words, excitement over the Explorer is something we do not take lightly, so even if you don't have a large review presence we still encourage you to submit a request as you might just get selected!
Echobox will pay for the initial shipment of the product as well as the return shipment of the product, however all individual shipments in between reviewers must be paid for and handled by the reviewer who is sending out the unit. For example, if Joe Schmo is the first reviewer as part of the tour, when his week is up it is up to him to make sure the unit is sent out to the next person on the list and to make sure that shipping is paid for. As a general courtesy, we would request that you try and ship at the highest priority possible, provided however that the cost of doing so does not break your bank
The rules for the review tour are very simple:
1) Be courteous to your fellow reviewers.
2) When your time is up, please be prompt about sending on the unit.
3) Please be careful with the Explorer while in your care! If it breaks, you will make other tour members very sad.
4) If you choose to participate in this tour, you are required to post a full, detailed and honest review of the Explorer. If you love it, please let us know why, and if you don't, tell us that too!
When submitting your review request, please include the following information in this order:
REVIEW LOCATION (i.e. USA)
SPECIFIC LOCTION (i.e. California, USA or London, UK)
REVIEW RESUME (What are your credentials?)
WHY YOU WANT TO REVIEW THE EXPLORER? (We actually do really really want to know!)
If you are selected, we will ask you for your email so that we may follow up and coordinate the review. If you have any questions, or feel that we are missing some form of information (or are not going about this the right way), please share your opinion here on this thread.
Can't wait to get some Explorers out on tour and hear your feedback!
