Questions:
1. Are you familiar with the DD Audio brand? If no, what would it take to earn your consideration for a home or personal audio purchase.
No, but my consideration is gained via excellent reviews (pro and semi-pro).


2. When purchasing home and personal audio products which four of the following factors most heavily influence your decisions? Please list in order of importance.
  • Performance - Definitely #1
  • Price - A close second, I'll forgo a cheaper product to save up for the gear that I want, but it has to be "achievable" by me (ie, something that I can potentially afford in 5 years or less of savings - $4K for a speaker, isn't going to be in my budget for a long time.)
  • Aesthetics - A more distant third
  • Brand Reputation - Don't care so much, poor products by excellent brands, or excellent products by poor brands... Still I am risk adverse, so no poor return policies. I don't want to get stuck with junk. - #6
  • Discounts and Promotions - Helps me pull the trigger, but I actually hate promotions. - #5
  • Professional Reviews - Gets the product on my look at list - #4
  • Personal Recommendations - Bahh, I don't trust "personal" recommendations - #7
  • Other (please describe) - See Brand Repution vs a vs return policy
3. What type personal audio products do you use the most? (i.e. earbuds, Bluetooth devices, headphones) Axiom Audio Grand Versus Speakers

4. Where do you prefer to actually purchase your audio products. (i.e. online, brick and mortar stores) Purchase online, view in store if necessary.

1. Are you familiar with the DD Audio brand? I never heard of it, until this contest caught my attention. If DD products found additional favor with professional reviewers, I think it would add to DD's credibility and hence marketability with the public (and me).

2. When purchasing home and personal audio products, which four of the following factors most heavily influence your decisions? Please list in order of importance.
  1. Professional Reviews
  2. Performance
  3. Price
  4. Brand Reputation

3. What type personal audio products do you use the most? (i.e. earbuds, Bluetooth devices, headphones): earbuds.

4. Where do you prefer to actually purchase your audio products. (i.e. online, brick and mortar stores): I don't have a preference. I will shop where the audio product I want is authorized to sell either online or a brick and mortar store. If both types are authorized retailers, then I will go with whatever offers a better overall deal (and advice, if needed).

I am not familiar with the brand, but either reading a review on Audioholics or hearing a friend talk about them if they were to have them would earn some consideration if the impressions were positive.

Earbuds while jogging.

4. Where do you prefer to actually purchase your audio products. (i.e. online, brick and mortar stores)

Typically online for smaller, under $1k purchases. For larger purchases over $1k, demoing is a requirement.

Questions/Answers
1. Are you familiar with the DD audio brand? If no, what would it take to earn your consideration for a home or personal audio purchase.
Nope, hands on trials are the best, followed by, or with, word of mouth recommendations, promotional discounts help me click buy. :)


2. When purchasing home and personal audio products which four of the following factors most heavily influence your decisions? Please list in order of importance.

1) Price (if $300 gets me something that should be $600, I might pull the trigger)
2) Performance (performance has to be above average for the price range)
3) Reputation (both in brand quality, longevity, support, etc.)
4) Professional reviews (somebody's gotta get their hands dirty and know what they're talking about)
..... 5) Aesthetics can help break a tie.


3. What type personal audio products do you use the most? (i.e. earbuds, Bluetooth devices, headphones)
Headphones

4. Where do you prefer to actually purchase your audio products. (i.e. online, brick and mortar stores)
1. I recall seeing some people on the HeadFi website mentioning the headphones about a year ago but other than that my perception is there hasn't been a lot of chatter about the brand. For a personal consideration to purchase, it would have to meet a particular need which at this time would likely be in a bedroom. Along those lines, size, unubtusiveness, and price would be determining factors. BTW, when I first saw the picture of the headphones, they reminded me, because of the wood, some Russian planar ones that I'd heard about recently. I do like the styling of these as they have an industrial/steampunk look to them that I find attractive.

2. It's difficult to prioritize since the factors listed above are interrelated. When forming a short list for a potential purchase, I generally perform a web search but toss in terms like problem, scam, etc. maybe even a BBB search. I want to see if people are experiencing problems and if so what kind. Given that survey, I'd rank the list as follows.

Performance
Price
Brand reputation
Personal recommendation

3. Earbuds most commonly but headphones coming a close second.

4. Online as I generally dislike going to stores which for me is just too time consuming.

Good luck to everyone who enters. Awesome prize.

2: I look at price, performance, aesthetics, reliability.

3: I have been using Bluetooth the most.

4: I will purchase wherever I feel I get the best product to suit my needs and wants for the budget I have to work with. It could be a mom and pop or a big box store. Online is always an option.
