No company is beyond reproach. I say write what you want, but don't shy away from writing a bad review if the phones are bad. If AKG has a pissy fit and takes it out on you, then that's not going to look good for them. You are the [H] of headphones; shine a light on both good and bad. That is healthy for the hobby.

Wow. Sorry to hear that - and sorry for the flashback Bikers are definitely a polarizing crowd, depending on the actual individuals. -
I am not privy to your request for a refund obviously, but if it was me, I would definitely ratchet up the language to them, as it really seems as if the train is going off the rails of sanity. Get that money back ASAP. Good luck.

The refund went through. The whole damn thing was avoidable and they did not really own up to the mistake: The deal was vague. The fact that they would have made it right with me if I mentioned blessingx's username really pisses me off. I made sure not to mention him just to see if I was treated the same, even though I kind of eluded to it. This is not something I am desperately needing (since I would get it in June at the earliest), but if I have to haggle just to get the deal that they fucked up on, I would rather take my money elsewhere. It sounds like I am sour grapes, but it's not about the money at all. It's about the fact that even though they have an existing company with distribution and everything, this whole thing stinks of amateur hour. I am firmly in the camp of take the small hit for PR points, and they chose to have an accusatory e-mail address ([email protected] - fucking really?), bad communication (I only knew of this because of blessingx's post), and poor execution. Here is their latest PR campaign: Those fuckers could have swallowed a bit of profit for the obvious gains that would have brought. Hell, I might have referred a few friends to them. Not anymore. Oh, and the 5th place prize really tells me all I need to know about that kind of people we are dealing with. $999 MSRP? Eat me.

Is this a closed headphone? I am not seeing any grills. Aftermarket cups? Based in the price, I am thinking SR60i drivers and aftermarket cups and permission to use the name for a price. Nah, probably done in-house based on the finish. It's all just kind of odd. Oh and Justin, you have a hunch or heard something from the grapevine?

Well wonder of wonders, even though I wrote what's above to the company, I still got back the same canned bullshit that you guys did: To which I replied: Seriously, if they cannot even read what I wrote, they can go fuck themselves. I'm out.

The Schiit Audio Version Of A Leather Company

No, the pants are not tight at all - hate tight pants. Like I said, the wallet I have is a bit large but flat. Standing up and sitting down would rip the seam where the pocket meets the pants. That and I don't want to be sitting on anything when I sit down. Yep, just tried it - damn near ripped my seam. How the fuck can you sit on a wallet? That's really annoying. Sorry for the post. Oh well. I seem to have killed my own thread -

I always keep my wallet in my front pocket, and my pants are more or less casual formal pleats for work, so I can have a larger but flat wallet. I never tried the wallet in the back thing for fear of ripping my back pocket when I sit. -

100 bucks is not that bad, but as long as the wallet holds together and organizes everything the way you want it, the less paid the better. It is going to get beat to hell, so I could care less about absolute fit and finish. The wallet I got is damn thick full grain leather,and the stitching is outstanding. I am happy. Jacob, you are, from what I can see, a great cook, so the cookware and chef knives splurge is/are well warranted, but a wallet? Maybe if you are a hell of a saver -

Yep, mine is still the same as it was after the first few days. -

While I am all about a diversified market and upscale stuff, but holy hell, 160-400 bucks for a wallet? Even if I shit Benjamins, I would never pay that much. It's still just a wallet. -
Things got interesting, but I cannot say I am surprised. The communication was shit, and the directions were silly. Here is what I sent to their e-mail address (which also leaves a bad impression, as it insinuates a little more than they are letting on): We'll see what happens.

Kauan's new album Pirut is now streaming in its entirety: http://blood-music.bandcamp.com/album/pirut This and Re-Vamp's Wild Card are definitely albums of the year for me! Anton Belov is like the Steven Wilson of Doom/Atmospheric Metal.
