How else could you test the experience?

They aren't the same person unless he's going through some extra-ordinary hoops, but they could know each other.

But astroturfing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing) does seem to be successful, maybe not in this case, but do most people care?

I'd just delete this thread if I were a mod. It's only pollution, and I'm sure they're trying it on other forums. The second post from the op was ridiculous.

Yeah, though sometimes Google really really likes CP, and sometimes a CP thread like this will get onto the first page of a Google search for the company, which is kind of hilarious.

Yeah and that's kind of my point. Their posts caused me to check out the site and now I feel like I need a shower, lol.

KAI's second post was pretty bad. What model did he buy? What did they sound like? How was the comfort? Why did he try them on when they were a gift? Hehe

My favorite bit is PYB274 making a half-assed attempt to mask the obvious by making 2 posts in Tech Talk about Mass Effect and Bitcoins, before pimping the site.

Ah who cares if they get traffic out of it? I hope this thread sticks around for the amusement factor.

Wasn't really trying to give them a pump. Just expressing my opinion. Glad I joined this forum though. A lot passionate people on here.

But starting to agree with calmuniate. This thread is just about ready to be deleted by the mod. Not sure it is really adding much value anymore, regardless of whether or not the post is legit.

Oh, I think you're wrong there. This thread isn't even close to being closed by a mod.

All of the fake Experience Headphones reviews that have been posted in this thread were taken down within hours of them being posted here.

Whether or not PYB274 and he are the same person, the CEO is definitely monitoring this thread regularly.

That's really odd, I wonder why their customers would be removing their Experience Headphones reviews?

Hey you bet! Once you experience the CalgaryPuck experience, you will ask yourself, "why did I ever compromise using sub-par, non aesthetically pleasing HTML based forums?!?" The vB Code functionality on CalgaryPuck is an absolute pleasure of an experience and if you ever have any issues, you can just PM the administrator directly and he's always more than happy to help out.

I never really pictured myself as an online forum guy, but I decided to give CalgaryPuck a try after my IT friend recommended it, and let me tell you...it was a pleasant surprise! I simply clicked on the easy to find "Create an Account" button and in no time flat I was signed up, had my very own unique user handle and avatar, and found myself deeply immersed within the community. The fellow users are absolutely fantastic which makes for some excellent discourse on a wide range of topics. You can use like smiley or mad faced emoticons in your posts too which adds to the whole posting experience. I have nothing but good things to say about this forum. I would highly recommend it.

But hey, don't take my word for it. Why not give CalgaryPuck a try and be witness to the online revolution.

Calgary based. Calgary spirit. CalgaryPuck.

So you are still claiming that you are a 3rd party, not at all related to the website?

Does anyone have any experience ordering from them online? Or any advise on what brands to look for/stay away from?

Here is their website.

Thanks
