Could it be? NCIXtechtips are biased reviewers.

[FileCorrupted]

Linus reviewed the sync by 50 headphones and completely bashed them

 

NCIX However LOVED them, and are doing a giveaway of them

 

Its possible that they just had different experiences but I doubt that Linus found them that terrible and NCIX couldn't find a single flaw

 

Until they clear this up for me I just can no longer trust any NCIX reviews

 

EDIT: I geuss there really was no reason to trust them in the first place, they are trying to sell it, geuss I just had my hopes to high

 

Second Edit: some people are wondering if this makes linus untrustworthy, and thats complete BS. He USED to work for NCIX, now he just kinda guest shows on netlinked every friday. Besides back when linus was on the show it was less reviews and more guides, I dont think I watched any reviews on NCIX with him, only on LTT. That said I am sure he has done some reviews on NCIX, just not to the extent where it was his primary content. Looking back through his first 3 years of content shows he only reviewed GPU's

[Levent]

would you rather to shit on a product and give it away ?

[Izaya Orihara]

Linus already said it once or twice. 'If you trusted me then there is no reason not to trust me now' (Paraphrasing) NCIX is a company that needs to sell those items in order to sustain itself. And that is why therer reviews are generally pretty damn postive. Terrible pun: Also Jack seems to know jack shit about audio

[LukaP]

i would be honest.

 

the only selling point of these cans is looks/swag, so emphasize that, bellitle the audio experience.

[Langdon]

NCIX is a company that needs to move product. They can't bash their products because then they can't sell them.

[mcmad358]

those are different headphones, linus reviewed Street, NCIX reviewed sync.

 

Mostly everyone is biad these days and i i find myself including basically Linus only to give me unfiltered, honest reviews and opinions.

[FileCorrupted]

That's not what bias is you plebian.

prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

 

How the is that not bias?

[FileCorrupted]

Didnt even notice, however I doubt they are very different EDIT: the only difference is one is wired and one is wireless

For starters, this is one pair of headphones which have been deemed crap by Linus. NCIX (The Company) are giving them away personally. The only imaginable instance of bias is the hate of celebrity endorsed cans but it really is true that they are all shit.

[Rorgash]

their shows are all to sell a product, none or to be taken as actual reviewing

[Sauron]

ncix is a store...

[mcmad358]

They may or may not be different, im not sure.

 

Linus is honest and i would take his word over any other reviewer out there. NCIX gets paid for advertising and get money from doing giveaways. They just say it is good because if it is bad, no one wants it. They get $$$$$$

[Wiflare]

name-calling isn't appreciated.

Exactly, Linus speaks the truth while NCIX lies to us so that (1.) we go and buy them and/or (2.) they get sponsorship monies.

Didn't Linus not used to work at NCIX and do reviews/unboxings for them?

[LukaP]

Didn't Linus not used to work at NCIX and do reviews/unboxings for them?

yes. he was product manager.

 

now he does netliked fridays i think

[Trik'Stari]

yes. he was product manager.

 

now he does netliked fridays i think

I thought he left NCIX entirely.

 

This makes Linus seem a bit more questionable then, if he was a reviewer for them, and does in fact still work for them, then are we supposed to believe he didn't engage in the same sort of "we can't give this a bad review or it won't sell" behavior?

 

I haven't been led astray by Linus yet, but thinking about that does make me question his honesty a little bit. Granted I do take into account that if he lied, he wouldn't be nearly as popular or succesful as he is now.

linustechtips is not affiliated with NCIX. only linus still does a news show every friday, that is like 5 min long

I know that, I'm saying if he (and I'm only hypothesizing here) had done this sort of thing in the past, what guarantee do we have that he isn't doing the same at LMG? The difference being that instead of selling a product, he's advertising one.

 

Granted, his success and my personal experience with products I've bought after watching his reviews/overviews/unboxings would indicate otherwise, I'm just playing devils advocate.

there is nothing to convince anyone, apart from that he says he is honest with us. and frankly, that is enough for me

[SeanBond]

3:25-3:40.

You are absolutely right sms definitely threw money at them for this review and if you don't see it from those 15 you are insane. Im quite shocked right now.

 

Edit: They are even giving away a headset and have a 20% promo code! Wtf. They are being quite blatant. 

[Trik'Stari]

Indeed, and I agree with you. I'm just playing Devil's advocate and trying to see things from their points of view, however ridiculous that point of view might be.

 

Still waiting on some LTT special edition computer components lol. Some kind of fans or wiring kits would be cool. I would be interested in like, a special edition aftermarket air cooler for gpu's or cpu's but I am probably alone in that lol

Corsair SP140 LTT edition?

[Digital Brit]

People need to get paid, sometimes you have to not tell the whole truth.

[Trik'Stari]

Corsair SP140 LTT edition?

Perhaps. But only if they did it orange LED's and did it right, not just 4 led's stuck to the side of the frame. An orange LED themed gpu cooler or cpu cooler would be hell awesome. I guess you could just do the fans and put those on an air cooler. I'd probably put them on my noctua cpu cooler if they were orange and pressure optimized.

THAT is a principle that needs to die. Make products right and they will sell themselves. You shouldn't have to lie to get sales the way consoles do.

 

Edit: Woops double post, mod can merge if they feel like it.
