I understand that, but that is what's acceptable, and that's the case across their entire range. AKG and HIFIMAN are there putting the…

If you put this against acceptable sales prices for the Bathys and account for 2 years of market development, then you're asking this to be…

My bad, confusing it with the 200, which also lacks slightly with the woofer size. Still feel like you're paying for early adoption.

Correct, but high data throughput only takes you so far if the speaker implementation is rubbish. Plus the JBL has no battery.

Probably not worth it over the likely Harmon Kardon Go + Play 3 price ($249 or less), despite it's lesser Bluetooth codec range.

They have a crossfeed feature in their DSP settings that's tuned to sound like the HE-1, which is arguably the best sounding headphone on…

I don't think that's true for most audio companies. I can see it being true for a gaming headset or an electronics brand, mostly because…

I've heard the Momentum 4, they are not. They are definitely better for audio quality in the typical consumer ANC price bracket, however. >…

There's a difference between audibly changing the sound and bringing a higher level of resolution to the audio, versus fundamentally…

This is like saying the HD 600 is the same is the 650, or the 660, 660 S2 and the 700 are the same: they're not. I have enough of a grasp…

These are better, but neither are worth the spend.

The reviewers I trust say these changes are substantial, and the starting price - which I do not recommend people pay - reflects the nature…

I'm not a fan of the current price, but the way Sennheiser iterates their drivers is slightly more complex than that. I'd say there's been…

Sennheiser themselves are claiming bare minimum that the driver is housed and dampened differently: > Versus the MOMENTUM 4, you will see a…

WOLED panel, as has been mentioned many times.

If you haven't opened the box, a return should be easy, but as I understand it the fluffy optic head is far better overall and isn't…

Which part? The wholesalers? I'm just going from comments relayed directly from or by retailers. It's not a consistent thing.

The problem tends to be more with AIBs and the like, where there's still an additional wholesaler. It's almost cartel like at that point,…

The problem with the supply chain tends to be that there's an extra middleman, and way too much bundling to secure pricing, leading to a…

My point was more the association a tray CPU from China being dodgy and not a respectable purchase that somehow undermines AMD, which was…

They are selling directly to Australian consumers, so the law applies. They also collect GST, but the cashbacks tend to give that straight…

AMD retail boxes have a 3 year international warranty... the rest are OEM/tray stock. For any given model they all have the same SKU but…

What does anything I wrote have anything to do with dropping the price of the Quest 3 to the price of the Quest 3S next month? They want…

They aren't intended to be re-sold to consumers anywhere, but the world doesn't work like that, and with ever escalating pricing for…

The odds of a CPU issue down the line are incredibly small, they tend to work out of the box or not. It's such a complex device with such…

This isn't really meant to be a deep sale everywhere, it's taking advantage of early supplier offers and trying to foster ordering volume…

For those trying to price compare, you're looking at about $520 net if you stack everything up that's available, maybe $470 if you've been…

HIFIMAN have excellent after-sales support, doubly so if you buy local. Just properly assess the headphones when you receive them, and…

The Nano has its own quality issues with regards to driver matching (and most planars do have about double to quadruple the error rate of…

Pretty sure there's at least one review on YouTube that covers their functionality in Teams. They are certified and the mic array is very…
