I agree with you also, but I'm not criticizing their decision to not post graphs but it was just the "if someone says they are great, then there is no need to start analysing a graph" part that didn't fit too well. No disrespect meant for the manufacturer , I certainly appreciate them being more up-front with their customers.

You're right, probably not the best sentence from myself.

maverickronin put it quite nicely. The main issue is if there was a null point in a certain frequency area, something that is not noticeable to the human ear, people would start crying out and noticing tiny, unnoticeable issues with the FG. It's fine if a graph is analysed with complete objectivity, but that's not really possible in this world. If we were to show frequency graphs and then try and justify them, it would make us look as if we're trying to defend the product rather than allow people to make their own minds up from professional reviews. Which is why I put trust in people like LFF, Joker, purrin, etc. They can be subjective and objective when they need to be and allow a clear divide to be made from their own opinions to what can be seen on graphs.

I have never been a fan of promoting our own product without proper justification behind it, and my justification is the opinion and thorough examination from reviewers. Rarely do we emphasise or create unwarranted hype on products without somewhere or someone to back up our claims. The audiophile world is a very critical area, and that's why I much prefer real professionals reviewing our products and coming to their own conclusions on them. Be they negative or positive ones, at least it's not our own biased view that comes into action.

In all honesty, we'd be uncomfortable posting our own subjective opinions on our own products because I don't claim to be a complete professional and as knowledgeable as the likes of the people I mentioned above and more. I've listened to plenty of earphones in my lifetime and analysed a good number and have a good ear, but I still don't feel I'm at any level to call myself a reviewer or a pro with these sort of things. So we let the big boys do the talking for our products

How do you guys feel about testing out our new "create your CIEM" website that I will be releasing shortly? I'd like to run it through dummy tests before it gets released to the world and I think you guys would be the best people to test it out.
