Always figured it was the former.

That's what I thought too, until I heard a musician call them West-Ones...

I've been in touch with people in media who pronounce GIF with a hard "g" sound so... shrug :P

For a long time I pronounce them Wet-stone, then sort of changed to West-one

Wes Tone (Like Wes Anderson). Hearing aid companies used "Tone" in their product names often. I think my mother worked at Beltone for a bit - building essentially CIEM's - she makes fun of me because they look like old people hearing aids.

Neither. It's Wee-Stone.

Pronounced West-tone, heard WTF-tone.

This cracks me up. I'll never forget my first audio meetup where I heard other humans say company names out loud for the first time. Audeze blew my mind...I always read it in my mind as Ah-Deeze.

Me too @Skyline! I am glad I was not the only one.

I think I got lucky with hearing the LCD-1 proto at a meet and hearing it pronounce how I thought it should be. Like an Audio Odyssey - Audeze.

Being British, it's Zed M F Headphones.

Just say it really fast so no one can tell

Same with Grado. Is it grah-doh, or gray-doh?

don't ever say focal to the Focal rep at a meet. Foe-CAAAAAAL, you unwashed, mouth-breathing skin sack of organ meat.

F*-all. That's what it sounds like.

Damn! I have little or no interest in iems but just spent time browsing their site, which is very bad and slow to load pages. And nowhere, not in 'about us,' 'our timeline'. or even FAQs, did I find "How to pronounce our name."

Maybe they haven't decided yet.

Another one: Triangle (speaker manufacturer) Tree Ahhn GLAY! And don’t you forget it!

Seriously? Like Taahn-O-yEEE?

I have a Tree Ahhn GLAY soob woo FERRR. Lots of re VERBBB...

Makes me think of the meecrowavay in the kitchen!
