Their website/marketing is full of the vague-claim/fud stuff that turns me off. I don't really remember, but perhaps that's why I didn't take notice of the initial crowdfunding announcements.
However, just because marketing people spew bullshit doesn't actually mean the product is bad. Audio is joining the likes of double glazing and life insurance, where the selling method ruins the reputation of an essentially possibly good product. And I am enjoying the Geek Out 450 that I borrowed yesterday.
Reading the stuff on their site, I'd walk away. Reading Merv's comments I'd buy [the V2 or V2+]. Sack the marketing people and give the commission to Changstar!
I'm not in the market for the kind of stuff, at the kind of price, in this "pre-order" anyway. Many of us probably have a wish list of stuff we won't be able to afford, but, if I'm dragged off the street to do one of those marketing surveys, my answer to "does out marketing make you want to buy our product?" gets a tick in the No box.
So, I tick yes to the question "are you just a cantankerous old curmudgeon?" So they probably don't care what I think anyway.
And, "are you a contrary cantankerous old curmudgeon?" Yes. I'm enjoying the GO450.
