OO1 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I owned Klipsch S4 and S4i-II. There is no doubt the audio quality of Klipsch headphones is great. The warranty service WAS great. Now, these headphones are shoddily made and their warranty service involves an extremely laborious and lengthy process. I literally waited months for weeks if not months to receive a warranty replacement and within one day it had broken. Regrettably, I have to recommend: DO NOT PURCHASE KLIPSCH! The build quality of Klipsch headphones and their warranty service is awful. which headphones are you talking about - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Flyfysher is away resting his syntax. I sure would like to know what unit he has had issues with - since most are not cheap either - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Holy crap, this is the funniest thread in a long time. I am still laughing. This had me in tears too - of course it's 3am that helps. I do hope the OP is able to get the issue resolved also. If it takes an extra day or so, one may consider that it appears Vlad is busy resolving customer service issues and taking over Ukraine, please be patient, these things take time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Chad Posted March 20, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2015 how do people manage to make a pair of knock offs on a design that is proprietary and macroscopic? It happens all the time, with most major brands out there. There are probably factories in China that exist strictly for the purpose of building cheap knockoffs of popular brands' products.

akdave Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Also, Vlad may or may not be a part of the Ukrainian Mafia, so... Duly noted. If this is my last post well... I think you all know what happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time, with most major brands out there. There are probably factories in China that exist strictly for the purpose of building cheap knockoffs of popular brands' products. There are teams of Chinese hackers as well that routinely attack US companies to steal design and manufacturing data to try to recreate it in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean obviously... but there is highly specialized manufacturing equipment needed for such tiny manufacturing. it's not like taking plans to a random machine shop and saying, "can you please machine these miniature armatures in economies of scale please?"

Vlad Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Our partners make some of the most expensive headphones in the world - they're not the type to sell data as counterfeits are a problem for them too. However, it's pretty easy to 3D scan a headphone and recreate the outer shell, then shove whatever driver inside of it with a custom boot. They can also fold the packaging flat and scan it, then recreate most of it in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop (also stolen). And akdave - you're safe. Alaska is a bit far for my people to travel to anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
