Hi
@AdamG247 thank you for bringing me up to speed and your kindness. My Brick avatar is spot on - I posted these posts in the wrong forum
So this is weird and kind of a last option for me. I think it may turn out to be good for folks here. I love this thread - like I don't think I have come across a better one.
My issue and deal is this: There was false advertising that I tried to discreetly bring up to a website linsoul.com and just wanted them to honor their advertised pricing for my one one purchase for my own enjoyment. Their response and their need to avoid the issue has prompted this post. Maybe others can benefit from this major issue.
I own the Thieaudio Monarch IEM - they are my TOTL(not relevant to discussion other than I like to check to see if the price has changed). If you scroll down to the bottom of the page is what I consider false advertisement at best and fraud at worst. I brought this up to them am gave reasonable options(3 to be exact and non of them were greedy on my behalf in my opinion).
First - the site isn't fixed, it literarily is falsely advertising the wrong price :
URL -
https://www.linsoul.com/collections/thieaudio/products/thieaudio-monarch (scroll the the very bottom)
I also have Moondrop S8s which are also TOTL IEMs. They just aren't for me. They smooth out the music and don't hit with the bass or the trebles in an unfiltered way. I feel like there are some crossover stuff going on that make it a pleasant experience. The Monarchs are more vicarial and doesn't hold back - I like it better. To each their own
The IEMs in question are Fearless Audio x Crinacle Dawn. Will I pay 1400 USD for these - not at all, won't even consider it. At 730 USD, yes please - I may take 2 at that price.
Please find screenshots attached to further show the issue.
What is my aim/goal? I tried resolving this issue via a kind customer server rep, wanted to talk to a manager(Karen style) and I was responded to with what I call "non-responses". It is basically responding but not even acknowledging the issue presented. If you are interest in these IEMs I would suggest demanding getting them for the price and giving them a difficult time - it is kind of my own recourse. I have no allusions that any of this will work, but there is a shot that folks will get high end IEMs at reasonable prices.
I have been a huge lurker and disabled an account a while ago(I even subscribed, sorry Amir for cancelling), not due to my own toxicity but due to things out of my control(things said about me that were not even close to being true - what can I say, it is the internet). This whole spiel is actually very much against my personality and kind of against my conscience, but the "non-responses" I received bugged me to the point that I thought it was warranted.
Doh, I wanted to mention my screenshots and edits were from registered Adobe products(PDFs) and Techsmiths Snagit. Snagit has always been solid for me - I think Windows 10 has a free replacement for it and works great, alas I'm old and stuck in my ways
I love audio and am grateful for you guys as a community
Thanks for your time and stay health
