Reading this post makes me wonder where you all get your information?
The users on this forum range from mere beginers to some of the best music producers the world has ever seen. Granted only a few of them have chosen to comment on this post, and their opinions are their own, but typically, in my experience, posts made here come form a collective pool of millions of hours of real world experience from around the world.
"Ah the old 20-20kHz response. Oldest trick in the book, don't mention that response is not flat!" - It's not? How do you know? .
I suggest every single one of you come to our facility and see it for yourself - In fact, I encourage it. It baffles me that you can make assumptions about something that you have never even touched or experienced.
Fair enough and thanks for the invite. Don't be so baffled, peaple make assumptions everyday, I'm sure you do. You've made more than a few about the users on our forum.
"Extremely unreasonable. Especially considering they're aming those at home-theater-enthusiasts and gamers."
WRONG - This is geared to about 50 markets. Some of which you have never even heard of.
Clearly we haven't heard of them, perhaps you could list them? Is the recording industry one of them?
This item was initially designed to test high-attenuation headsets at trade shows (Our primary business). By simulating a prop airplane exactly you can allow your customers to know what your product does before you have to buy it to test it in your plane. That's just the tip of the iceberg... We were asked to bring it to the consumer electronics market by our customers on a daily basis - which is why we offer it to everyone.
So I suggest you all take a seat sometime so I can stop laughing at how uneducated these comments are. Come prove me wrong because 30 years in the audio industry is something you cannot fake.
Oh and Dolby approved this egg, and I take their prestigious comments more seriously then all of yours. You will be able to check one out at any Dolby building by the mid 2010. If you know the president of Dolby then you'd already know he has one in his office.
Cheers and happy audio. I also suggest a little less ignorance of some of you in this thread. Doesn't show well for your knowledge of this industry.

You have a right to defend your product but you've blown a great opportunity. Most of us agreed that it was a cool idea. You could have set the record straight and edified us of how the product was tested and how it could work for us. It's called selling. If it were me, I would have taken the opportunity to pick the brains of the users on this forum. Regardless of what your target market is, you've missed the fact that these users are potential customers, to you their opinion should be important.
Instead you went on the attack.
You've asked us to prove you wrong, this is a ridiculous marketing strategy. You need to prove to us that your product is right. So I ask you, how many albums have been produced, mixed, and/or mastered in a sound egg?
You called us ignorant and uneducated and boasted of your years audio experience. Talk is cheap. You don't know how our forum works or anything about the users that reside here. It is also apparent that you don't know how an internet forum works. The internet gives everyone a voice, you can't have them all agree with you. Granted that not all voices are created equal but you've come here and started flinging the insults around without proving anything to us. We know the opinions the users here are valid because we see their work. We listen to the albums that they produce. We test out the advice that they give us in the real world.
You've offered us nothing, no helpful advice to anyone, no constructive criticism, only this, your only post. So before you come back with the insults, prove your worth, prove your worth to us, offer some helpful advice, and don't flame people you know nothing about, it's called humility.
On that note I offer you some advice - relax.
