@shotgunshane and more than their controversies, which I understand not everyone will care about as long as they get good product... their products aren't good? Like I get it, their market is people new to "high-end gear" (hah), but to allow their gear to sound so harsh and call it good beggars belief.
Its funny, starting in the hobby a decade ago, KZ was coming out with new models weekly, varying QC issues, and completely ripping off other designs. They have gotten so much bigger since then and they still are dripping in drama too often.
Tyvan's response is clear BS, DMS and other industry folks have been getting these offers and when they call out KZ, KZ pretends it wasn't them!
I didn't hear much of KZ back then, but I guess I was looking elsewhere. The IEMs that I was drooling over at the time were the original Vsonic GR07 (still wanna hear a pair TBH), but I suppose KZ was still growing at the time. More familiar with more recent scandals.
I can't blame people for taking money to sustain themselves, but yeah had to be someone established and ostensibly cosy to blow this out of the water.
