I don't think it's a bandwagon, the head of that company was selling $3,000 cables. And still sells ridiculously inflated cables, and makes very spurious arguments about their value proposition.

It's not a bandwagon. it's just a lot of people find that kind of snake oil to be problematic. That seems like a good enough reason without having to want to jump on a bandwagon.

If you do a little bit of research you can learn more the details and it is pretty odious.

This is not to say the product doesn't sound good, I'll probably never know bc I can't afford to try it. Which is true for 99% of people.

But, I don't consider him to be an honest businessman or at the very least he is advancing very spurious theories about cables and that's reason enough for people to be skeptical.

This reminds me of the episode of The wire where the kids from the street try to eat at a fancy restaurant

Yeah that's not good, they're going to have durability issues like that might as well get a KOSS set

Possibly but we're at a point now where there's a lot of good headphones at that price point and pretty much guarantee you in a year there will be new $20 IEMS that everyone says put all the old ones to shame.

And I'm grateful that there's more good lower priced options I'm just trying to throw a little cold water on the hype on newer products which happens all the time.

Every year we are told that some new IEM is completely transformative at every price point and I'm just starting to think that most of this is salesmanship
