Ordered the ear (1)? Share your experience

You have followed the teases and the news, you saw the event where the design of the ear (1) was finally revealed. And now the day has finally arrived: you...

Just saw they were on sale again, opened the site, and bought. Was way easier then I expected 😃

Really looking forward to receiving them. (In 2-4 weeks)

Dominic manuel19 I think it’ll be “first come first served”, so perhaps the first to order will get them shipped in around two weeks, then four weeks, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that window is shifted soon.

Didn’t even have to get up early this time to buy a pair. It felt good not having to rush against the clock!!

Excited for everyone to hopefully receive their pairs in the coming weeks

Cheetosdust

SteveW It’s so cool to see so many members of the Community finally getting them. “F5 Party” for the next 2-4 weeks it is, hehe.

Just checked again and they’re already “sold out”. Again. Exactly as the screenshot I shared before. I was not expecting this so soon. 😅

Yes! Nice work, lads! The patience paid off, you both deserve to be one of the first!

Thank you! It’s great that now I know for sure that I will receive the ear (1) in the coming weeks. Though I am sure those weeks will feel super long because of the hype. 🤓
How is your order doing btw? Have you received a tracking number or an email yet?

I am happy to see that finally, after the super-limited drop on July 31, at least 4 of us, members of the Community were able to place an order without ear (1) going out of stock in mere seconds. It seems the wait was worth it after all.

Rob ⚡️ Many thanks for the kind words. It was a little bit stressful, but I had all the sessions started beforehand to maximize my chances. Hope you can get yours really soon. 😀

Felix oh, I was on the same boat - I thought it was a site/warehouse for the European market. But I just checked again and yeah, they are sold out here (screenshot at 12:46):

Refreshed again and they returned to stock. Perhaps a temporary glitch. 🙃

On the german webiste they still seem to be available. I am surprised it is not an all europe website tbh

Wow I’ll be honest I expected this open sale to last longer than what I’m hearing in a few places!

Canada still has the buy now button so it seems the ratio of units allocated here vs demand might be a bit higher than elsewhere.

Haha, I’m sure you’ll be checking the order status daily! My order is due to arrive Thursday and is currently somewhere in Belgium. I’m glad that soon we’ll be able to discuss a real, physical product together!

Cheetosdust

I’m sure it was stressful! Thank god for autofill!

Bass

Still waiting for my invostor-pre-order ear (1) as well. They are supposed to arrive on Thursday. Can´t wait!

But I had to buy another pair today as well as an “ordinary” customer, the purchase went through and they ships within 2-4 weeks.It will be interesting to compare the two purchases in terms of customer support/shipping times and so on…

In sweden the price was 1.190 SEK which trades 115-120 Euros but I guess thats some kind of forex fees or something.

Good luck everyone, now lets hope the actual ear (1) product is as good as we (at leas I) hope!

OH your package was surely with mine from HK to Liege, Belgium

I’ve been following the plane since this morning, my package is now in Paris so I expect a delivery real soon! 🖤

Fedex finally has them and it still hasn’t left HK. My delivery date is now changed to 24th. Ordered it on 27th July, so 1 month for the delivery.
I’d like to share a few thoughts I have since the launch.

The primary reason I invested in nothing is because of the community driven approach and the trust I had in @Carl

. I’m sorry to say, I haven’t been disappointed like this in recent times by any other company. It’s okay if we do not receive special treatment by the team. But regardless of being an investor/community member, as a customer, I wouldn’t support a brand who doesn’t deliver. It saddens me more being an Investor and I hope the customers are treated better. I truly believe, customer satisfaction should be the number 1 priority after products and it shouldn’t be compromised, whatever the cost.
Please if possible, try not to make false promises as part of marketing. If you’re not 100 percent sure, DON’T. Cause with the hype you created, people love the product even before experiencing it. And it doesn’t take much time for that love to turn into hate, especially with below par customer services. I’d have been 100 percent satisfied if it said “Pre-order for Investors” and the original time-frame was 1 month. In fact, I’d even be delighted, if I get it a couple of days earlier.
Improve social media game. Brands are now focusing more on customer services through social media and it works. I personally have experienced it, and it does wonders.
Now as an Investor, if possible try to engage more with the community here. The least we expect is response from the team, regarding any/all queries or discussion. I have seen many messages/queries from the community, left without response or getting response after days/weeks. Interact more with the community, otherwise there’s no difference between an official community platform and an unofficial one on reddit.

To sum up, I’ll continue supporting the brand but only till it has not lost its path. I don’t believe in supporting/defending a brand/organization for what it once stood for, as is the case with many “fans” supporting/defending their brands and proving their allegiance.

You can disregard this like any other message or you could use this to engage in more conversations with the community.

They’re now in London and arriving today - it was a pleasure travelling with you guys 😆

After being “Sold Out” and back again in stock during the afternoon (perhaps it was a cache problem, saw Nothing telling someone to clear it), now it seems they are sold out.
