Like already posted by Earfun before I was visited by their team recently. Rocky Deng the main engineer behind all Earfun products together with Helen Shaw who is the promotion manager came to Austria for several days. Aside of some sight seeing in Vienna I also took them to my house to demonstrate what I was working on and talking about some ideas for future products and collaborations.

Earfun’s attitude towards audio is different to mine. They aim at low budget products for the mass market with maximum sales possible putting less attention to offer the best possible sound quality possible, I suggested some ideas for future speakers and headphones but it’s unlike they could be realised as development and production costs would be high especially with me participating.

We had a nice time together but unfortunately no actual plan for some next collaboration was set, therefore my only hope to get some decent sounding headphone on the market is by releasing an own product that I am currently working on.

Really cool that you're releasing your own product.. I'm excited. Hope to see an Oluv'Sone speaker one day! With classy build to match :)

Incredible what is happening here. Future looks bright! Halz und Beinbruch Ollie!

It's a bit disappointing that they dont want to participate with you on a higher quality product.

Well it doesn't have to be the perfect sounding product, I felt like a headphone with serval HRTF EQ models would be good enought, the IEM is difficult though... I think it all comes down to how well UboomX sold, if it does then we may soon see a Earfun Wave Pro 2 soon or whatever.

Exactly what I'm looking for. I'm bored of the samey rubber speakers. I want something with switches n metal n chrome like in the 80s 😂

i mean its not like they don't keep him in mind or anything. it's just that mass market aspirations of chinese culture is missing a sensibel part so the union of both temperaments will occur in the future

Keep up the good work Oluv... We stand behind you!

Noble ideas but not realistic for an off-brand company. Too much risk for unknown returns. I don’t think there would be enough demand and honestly people with ears tuned or even caring for audio quality. Like selling bibles to atheists.

Off-brand, as in not a company owned by Samsung or Apple worth billions or trillions actually. Actually I would be interested in what you think of brands like KEF? Or other smaller audiophile brands. I think portable Bluetooth speakers are usually appealing to low budget consumers and they usually come with low expectations and therefore companies don’t want to invest in something they would sell without putting as much effort and money into.
