Rofl, you can see he basically ripped out glued parts. I’m gonna keep an eye on this one!

I’m actually thankful that anyone here pulling that stunt would be drawn and quartered…

Is this normal behaviour? Only when it's your own gear and you're willing to presume risk. I hope the owner pursues and claims damages; arrogance and inconsideration of this sort cannot go unpunished.

they claim they asked HiFiGo before proceeding and had a repair professional take it apart. That's fine then, if all's above board.

Yeah it’s all good bro, LOL

"I only took the really thin planar diaphragm out of its housing but hey it still sounds good when put back together"

Whoa, "all good bro" there. Took it all apart, including diaphragm, magnet, etc... then took photos, and his professional friend didn't even bother to measure frequency response or anything afterward.

“Due to our limited experience”. Checks out, professional to me.

how does one repair a diaphragm ripped from a frame...

Next reviewer be like "not quite as good as I thought it would be this left side seems a bit wonky"

Not ok if there are others waiting in line to review the same. Although I have only seen him reviewing these kind of IEMs in India.

@Qildail - it kinda happened with another loaner. Mods were not happy and the loaner was discontinued

"Thanks bro!! An update here, HiFiGo agreed to send me another sample so that the tour can continue. I mean the current unit was also working fine but they preferred sending another one for the tour ahead." Nothing to see here rofl
