Let me Comment, Being one of the Original Indiegogo campaign purchasers in 2015. It was nothing short of a Clusterf**k. The player did not perform or sound anywhere near what they promised and had all kinds of glitches. It lacked Google Play, the cases cracked. Echobox repaired the cases, often shabbily, with people stating they could see the sanding and glue used to repair, rather than replace the broken cases. I could go on and on,,,, If you want to know EVERYTHING about this player and all the mishaps do a search on "headfi.org" under.... "The Official Echobox Explorer Thread"

You can read ALL 163 pages of this debacle.

It became so embarrassing for Echobox that they locked the thread to stop the negative comments. I sold mine 3 weeks after FINALLY receiving it. Best thing too, as the purchaser from Turkey emailed me a year later stating it suddenly bricked itself and Echobox refused to help him in anyway, they wouldn't even take it in for repair! Buyer BEWARE!!! YMMV.

TheMadDaneSo it makes sense why do they get such discount.

kidberoI wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to get rid of ALL of the leftover parts or units. With all the people on HeadFi.org they would have been onto a newer version if these were selling at all. You can still see people selling their Indiegogo models for @ $150 to $200 on HeadFi.org "For Sale forum.

TheMadDaneI bet you are absolutely correct. I heard through the rumor mill that the guy who had been running the company for the past few years stepped down, and the new guy doesn't know what he is doing. Would probably explain all the discount campaigns and weird social media they have been doing for the last few months. I tried the Explorer out at a CanJam event shortly after they released it, and it was bad in every way possible. At best it is an interesting novelty, but thats about the extent of it. I would advise that people should save their money and buy something worth having.

omegaohmOmegaohm, See the post above. I have NO idea who this guy is and have NEVER heard of him with anything related to Echobox until now. Sounds like you hit the nail on the head.

TheMadDaneYeah, I know the company used to be run by a guy named Sam, I met him at a few CanJam events and he always seemed knowledgeable and nice to speak with. I heard rumors a few months ago that Sam had stepped down from the company to do other things, and now it would appear this Josh guy has taken over. I asked around the audio community and no one has heard of him, and from what I've witnessed ever since he came on board it has been non stop discounting on their products and really weird social media. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Echobox isn't around in a few months time...doesn't seem like great leadership and the products were already having a lot of issues. Just my 2 cents

TheMadDaneHey mate, I remember you from the threads on head fi... Mine arrived with the headphone socket broken and they refused to accept it back under warranty saying it was structural and therefore not covered. When I explained I had only just unboxed it, they stopped replying..
