哎呀大家好最近耳机界有些抓马让我们来聊聊
这两天Drop(Massdrop)上面出现了一批打折的Audeze耳机

没想到过没多久Audeze在推特上面声明这批耳机没有得到授权,并要求撤下并且提供序号看是谁外流的

最后说了不会为了Drop上卖出的任何耳机提供保固
想当然Headfi上广大烧友开始敲碗并要Drop出来说明耳机的出处,毕竟几年前Audeze家的仓库才被偷过

Audeze is claiming "fake" as a tactic because they're upset these units are selling for less than their MSRP. Fundamentally, this is an attempt by Audeze to price-fix using derogatory tweets, MSRP "adherence", and "minimum advertised price" policies. For context, price fixing is illegal, and these policies are fundamentally anti-competitive.
Beyond that, consider that this inventory comes from physical retailers who approached us, asking if they could sell this inventory on Drop because their stores are closed and nobody's coming in for the next two months. Some brands are engaging in buyback schemes to support their retailers through this crisis, but Audeze seems more interested in maintaining margin.
之后一位Massdrop的员工出来说这些耳机是从一个授权经销商拿到的, Audeze会生气是因为希望保持一致的建议售价,要不然他们网站的耳机要卖给谁? 并指出price fixing 是非法的
至于经销商联系上Drop的原因可能是因为最近武汉肺炎的关系,该经销商将不能持续营业,也不知道这波封城会持许多久,也许会好几个月,为了让公司持续营运下去才联络Drop看能否帮他们在网络上卖
并且说明了有些厂商了解经销商的难处 选择将部分耳机买回去让他们度过难关,但显然Audeze更注重自己的获利
Draw your own conclusions about who's being shady, but I'll add for context, Audeze is the only company in the audiophile space who entered into a collaboration with DROP, took the designs we developed, claimed they couldn't commit to a production schedule, and launched the product as their own at a higher MSRP a couple weeks later.
最后Drop的员工还顺便踩了Audeze一下,提醒大家以前Audeze找过Drop设计过LCD-2C的头带(Headband),然后当Drop收集完消费者意见及设计好头带后Audeze拿走了设计一脚把Drop踢开然后加价卖xD
所有跟Drop合作的厂家里面只有Audeze这样干xD
心得: 规定经销商不得特价这个其实屡见不鲜啦,Sony也有类似的规定,不乖就拔经销, 不过也要你够大才能这样干,最后如果LCD-2C的事情是真的也太不厚道了吧哈哈哈但Audeze家的耳机有够难戴是真的
