Okay, the choice of words does get on my nerves.
First of all, "Nothing compares to the sound of a true speaker system..." What's a true speaker system, and what's a false one? O_O
Secondly, "... two key components that replicate the performance and sonic characteristics of a true loudspeaker". We have that again- plus the fact that there are terrible-sounding large driver/open-backed metal mash xx headphones or loudspeakers or whatever they're talking about.
Thirdly, "To make them work in the context of headphones, BLON has outfitted the BL-30 with..." Excuse me? Are they not headphones after all? Yet they ought to be driven with a regular headphone amplifier?
Fourth, "The finished product delivers booming-yet-balanced low frequencies". I am embarrassed for them, and at a lost of words at this point.
Finally, "Rounding out the black and metallic design, the BL-30’s matching leather headband features an innovative adjustment system to accommodate all head shapes and sizes." I'm sure we have seen it before somewhere for quite the number of years though *sip*
Despite my misgivings, it does look like an interesting product. I sincerely hope they will not disappoint for the benefit of all invested parties

phoenixsongSixth, "BLON has outfitted the BL-30 with a large, over-ear fit and plush, noise-isolating earpads."
Noise-isolating on an open-back headphoes ??????

michabarlevTo be fair, they directed the "noise isolating" part at the pads so we can't really fault them for that (despite the blunder) :p

phoenixsongThe noise is still coming from the outside......
So for me in these particular headphones noise-insulating pads are useless.

phoenixsongThe first line “Nothing compares...” immediately triggered some Sinéad O’Connor in my head.

petecamachoNo, he just didn’t like the marketing terms. But he didn’t say they would sound bad, so I respect that he didn’t review the product itself without trying it.

Rowdy2026I mean, if you want to get constitutional about it, @phoenixsong’s original post was clear enough that he didn’t own a pair, or come from the perspective of making judgements based on observed sound. Just had to read far enough to see that.

Rowdy2026It is as Evshrug had said- no point answering the obvious :)
If it wasn't clear enough for you though, I can gladly explain ^^

Rowdy2026Indeed, seems like words and kindly offers alike are a waste on you. If you're having a bad day I hope you'll have friends and loved ones to talk to, unlikely though that may be
