Someone should sacrifice themselves and order one
Or someone who has a hunter should buy a hunter x, crack both open and see if it's just the same IEM rebranded.
Call me cynical (it happens, after being on so many TA threads) - one scenario is this:
- Trinity get into financial trouble due to issues during machining the Titanium shells for the Hunter (as per their original "come clean" email) and the ongoing Air debacle
- They finally get someone to manufacture and deliver a decent sized batch of shell components
- they are still in trouble with their cash flow
- they rebrand the two models they do now have parts for as "X" versions and start selling them from stock to raise some quick cash
- they can try and shift some more units before clearing their backlog (if they ever do), as the "original" models can still be designated as awaiting delivery/whatever, and the X models can be considered separate products
- they have a lot of left over units from all the refunds, if the manufacturer has finally delivered (repeat from point 3 above)
May be a little far fetched, but considering that they admitted the manufacture of such a complex internal shell structure in Titanium for the Hunter was proving beyond the ability of most manufacturers to do in a profitable manner, going down the same path again seems even more unbelievable than most things I've read here recently.
Just a wild stab in the dark with no actual grounds for proof, so take the above with a pinch of salt - just where my mind went when I saw they were being described as "in stock".
