ok soo when logan and linus made a Meze earbud and headphone review i got the iliments version instead http://iliments.com/. (his new kickstarted failed sooo no more of his headphones) 

And Esmooth looks like the OEM for Meze plus you can buy some headphones from them http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2053587.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xesmooth&_nkw=esmooth&_sacat=0&_from=R40 so is there anyone who can confirm this?

but all the specs are a bit off arn't they?

 

Audio equipment manufacturers don't exactly provide the most accurate specs until you start look at expensive professional gear.

PC Build in LTT Gallery - JBL J88 - Fostex T50RP (Modded) - Pioneer SE-A1000 vs audio-technica ATH-AD500X - Skullcandy Aviator

Esmooth give you the specs they measure from a batch run, meze will give you the best case scenario specs they can from a highly cherry picked unit.

they didn't lie, they just didn't tell the whole truth.  eSmooth makes headphones for all sorts of brands using different manufacturing processing in the same factory.  But it's not Meze's factory.

 

Kind of like "If you like your insurance, you can keep it.  As long as your insurance provider doesn't drop it when it doesn't meet standards."

isnt there a stereo type for all white politicians to be into hookers and hard drugs or other form of corruption?

honestly i dont even think its that bad xD

just think he should step down before people start rioting. 

i would personally like himn to stay cause i think all politicians are equally shit cause thats what they have to be.

if a pollster randomly phoned me up asking me if I'd vote for ford you fucking bet I'd say I'd vote for him while masking my giggles. I'm pretty sure everyone I know would say the same thing as well. when it comes to standing in the ballot box I think things will change.

Nothing specifically about toronto, but it says a lot about people.  In most polls people don't care about hookers, drugs or gambling. they only care that the person is doing the job, not wasting taxes and looking after the poor and destitute.  Outside of that just about any politician could be a drug crazed hippy who visits the track with hookers every other Sunday and people just think, lucky bastard, Wish I could do that.

Lol, I think that's more indicative of Australian politics than North 'Murican. Lots of religious peoplez up in here.

Well, they should learn to get over it. :D  

 

We must just be very laid back down here, 10% of our population are active Christians, gods how many of the other religions there are.

aside from the "controversies"... 

 

How do they sound? (compared to what you had?)

 

I like the way they look, might get a pair or ones from esmooth.  Maybe the bamboo version ahha.

well i never tried the meze ones, but the iliments ear-buds that i have http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/iliments-hear-the-music so you get anymore of them sadly D; sounds a bit muddy with the vocal parts when listening things like hip-hop, metalcore, punk rock(? what genre is fall out boy), and so on. But for things like monstercat or any electronic music with a strong bass, they sound quite nice (not bass heads ear-buds) but the amount of bass is nice. However take these with a grain of salt because I normally use these with my HTC one so the sound quality of the on the on-board DAC is not that great.
