Tripowin x HBB Mele IEM

Valid point but do really think every expensive iem costs that much to make. Just like any other IEM, the mele probably costs $5 to make and every included accessory would have added a few bucks to produce. Not taking time to design a better box and using a cable they probably have a surplus of (they are a cable company) would keep the cost very low. If they cant sell the iem at the price they were hoping to, then you dont get the good presentation or accessories. You still get the iem that was designed to be sold at $150, their loss is your gain. The sennheiser ie900 probably costs $20 to make but people still pay the $1200 price, its all about the time and effort that goes into the design. Because of the miscommunication after they finished the product, they weren't just going to throw it away but i doubt they will work with Chris again.
