Oh crap, didn't even think of that.....damn, now I'm more annoyed
. Asia gets an order sooner than the US even though US/Europe are the largest markets? Asia gets things shipped sooner from companies in western
and eastern markets and the US/Europe gets things shipped later in both markets even when the product originates in the western market? Now that's just a load of bull right there.
Oh well, unlike some other less fortunate souls, I do have things to pass the time. Noble X came in a couple days ago, though I suspect the Trinity models will be more comfortable. And at the very least, WAY more well-accessorized. Like, seriously Noble, I know it's a Massdrop and all that, but couldn't include your normal accessory kit or even a full suite of silicone tips? just medium and large and that's it? Eh, I could complain about various products all day long
.
I'm happy for you; seriously! Sounds like you have plenty of great listening to get around to before your Trinity buds arrive.
I'd just like to point out though--because I've seen a LOT of posts to the extent of "well gee bro just listen to your other IEMs and ****! (not saying you; you've been distinctly reasonable throughout this whole process, on both sides of the positive to negative-spectrum)--not all of us have other IEMs! Case in point, I bought into this pre-order as a celebration to finally getting my career started; just to be clear, it's at a very nascent stage, and I don't have a lot of money. And while I have a pair of Sennheiser HD598s that I bought 5 years ago, I don't have
any IEMs other than the ****ty ****s that came with my Galaxy S6. This was supposed to be my first real pair of quality earbuds. I have been
very much looking forward to this. And while people may say that it is my fault for not fully understanding the ramifications of entering a pre-order, fine; fair enough. All I can say is that I spent about two hours researching possible options, and I'm not sure how I was supposed to know that what was advertised as an--admittedly approximate--fifteen day wait would actually turn out to be what looks to be at least half a year. Especially with--literally-- hundreds of pages of pretty much outstanding feedback on this company here.
At this point, I'm just reading and participating from time-to-time in this thread because why not? I've pretty much even given up on expecting these things by any particular point. It sure is a deflating experience to have with a company that was quite hyped up on here, though. All of this would have been a
lot more palatable without the constant, unrealistic expectations (which were understandable in the first half of the process), punctuated by clearly outright lies.
*sigh* Alright. I'll play tag. When I get these things, I'm going to listen to some exceptionally produced, lush, detailed, and densely layered music. IE, Radiohead (I'm thinking, as someone else mentioned, "In Rainbows," as well as some select favorites from "Hail to the Thief"); Tame Impala, specifically "Currents;" and a bunch of instrumental/electronic hip hop music, such as Flying Lotus, TOKiMONSTA, Evil Needle, and much more. Seriously, I can't wait! (Alright, I'll stop being glib... lol)
