Fix your logo - at first glance I thought it said "Sound Fag" and now I can't take it seriously. LOL
Cool concept - I doubt it would work

It takes fortitude to make a post like that. I can't speak for anyone else, but I accept your apology.
I wish I could be as forgiving as some of you. He may only be sorry for potentially losing customers. No one can know for sure. That first post was enough for me....regardless of whether or not the apology was sincere. This forum means a lot to me! That was too desrespectful as far as I'm concerned.
Either way....The concept is cool, but I think it has a way to go (at least as far as mixing/mastering). For the price, I'd improve my sub par room and get a good pair of headphones.
As for gaming....it probably rocks! I'd imagine it really places you inside of the game. That is pretty cool (it would be cooler if I was a gamer lol).

Well, if you're not down for (constructive) criticism, I'de suggest you stop googling your product every 5 minutes to see whose talking about it. 
Very "Mork from Ork -esque". Seems cool, but highly doubt that this would work. I think with spending the 1500$ on DIY room treatment you could potentially create a better frequency response in your average room.

Yes, and that's one of the many cool things we do here. You're entitled to your opinion just as he is, but we all need to walk the road to respect, you and I included. I give the benefit of the doubt to him as I give it to you, and respect your right not to accept his apology.
To keep it in perspective, he never claimed anywhere that his product could be used for mixing, neither did I. I simply stumbled upon it in my travels and thought it was not only a good concept but a bit of fun. To me it was nothing more than a trivial exercise based on a concept and not a product. I think the product is good. From this point of view I think a lot of the comments were perhaps misconstrued as being negative towards the product when in fact they were mostly directed towards the concept of using the device for music production and not the product it self. I will endeavor to be clearer in the future.
No doubt about it.
I'm sure you could but then you'd have to buy the speakers too
I find it impossible to think about this product and not think about Will Smith in Men In Black when they're recruiting him and they're all sitting in an egg shaped chair and have no base to write their forms with and he pulls the table with loud shrieks

I fail to see how this is new tbh...
just google "egg chair" and there are tons of variations of this. (though I have to admit that I haven't looked very thoroughly into this topic and might perhaps have overlooked some differences between the soundegg and the various other "egg shaped chairs with and without speakers in it".
I understand the impulse response though ( I mean the post, not an IR
)...respect also for the apology post.
are all the shapes and curves acoustically designed for that sound, or is it just a fancy oldschool chair with absorber in it?
at least to me it looks exactly like one of those chairs, just with foam glued into it.....
if it works...cool.

the ibose chair was already based on this old 60ies design, so this is not revolutionary at all, but it'd still be interesting to know what sets this chair apart (acoustically) from the competitors....?

If the sent source was flat, but you get 10dB bass boost on the subwoofer and 15dB variation on the broadband speaker, then the frequency response is not flat. The pink line in the picture below has flat frequency response (+-3dB fluctuation is still considered flat, but +-15dB is not):

Touche. But at the same time I'de rather have it be that way. I mean it's bad enough sitting in a room for 8+ hrs a day. Fuck sitting in an egg all day. Seems like an overglorified big ass set of headphones to me.

Home theatre enthusiasts and gamers spend more on consumer electronics products than anybody else.
It is totally reasonable to expect a market that happily pays thousands of dollars for home theatre equipment already to spend their money on a product like this.

I'm still laughing at how they can think the response inside the egg is flat! Especially looking at the response graph.

Major props for having the balls to admit where you wrong. I was going to make a post against your first post, but you've shown your professionalism here, so I'll let it go.
Hope the product works out well for you
I would like respectfully participate in this topic and forum. It isn't about the sale as it was never initially which was my underlining problem. I don't wish to make any enemies but only friends and you all have brought that realization to me.
I sat up for hours thinking about what I was going to say, so you all made an impression on me.
I will be going through the posts and questions so please stay tuned for my response.
All who wish to still drill me - thank you. I deserve it.

I love this gain
IMO the ideal position for the monitors (speakers in the egg case) is not that one as ears are designed to receive sounds from other angles but the sides and ceiling. I think I'd feel weird. Anyway, I can't really say anything as I didn't try one. Who knows, maybe improving that freq resp could be a good solution for those who live in tiny apartments where you can't really treat the room because it's also your kitchen and living room.
Look at the bright side, when some guitarrist tells you to turn up his guitar track for the 6th time, you can just ignore him and say, hey! I'm in the egg and I can't hear you so STFU.
Send one to any senior member on here for a test!!
I can do the job heheh

I didn't say the response was flat I stated it's source was flat. These are not studio quality monitors inside and would be very hard to achieve a flat response with those speakers. This is a commercial geared version which pricing in speakers plays a roll in the choice.
Also this item was not tested like you would run for monitors because of the collaberation of the 5 total speakers and sub. I will post the procedure we took for the response which might clear up the unusual peaks and valleys someone pointed out previously. Perhaps someone might have advice on the testing procedure because it actually has a unique acoustic value inside where small modification can drastically change the results. I wish it was easier to let people know that the shape of their chair plays a big roll in the audio side.
We are currently in developement of a more precise version that could be used for mixing but will never be a replacement for the real thing. I beleive someone said something about home mixing and what not, which could be ideal for some. Eventually with an upgraded version we'd like to be an option in those cases.
I hope this clears that up.
