To all those complaining about the price: The price is that high because it uses a ES9038 Pro DAC which is 460$ USD DAC by itself making it actually "a good deal" in a messed up rich audiophile way because you pay 40$ more for the speakers, battery and lights. DEFINITELY not gamer-budget friendly. The price should DEFINITELY be the first thing mentioned. I totally agree with all your complaints. I just wanted to point out WHY it's 500$. It's a legitimate professional DAC despite it's edgy gamer look. On top of it it has surround sound noise cancellation. It was cancelling out all the noises from the speakers. That's what that phone test was about. This is not for budget gamers.

where do you get that 460$ price for the dac chip from? A mouser search turns up about 79$ for the chip and in volume they get significantly cheaper. A lot of cost comes from implementation and I wont say that it doesn’t have a lot of features that make that price reasonable, but saying the dac costs 460$ seems disingenuous to me. You cant compare this to another complete dac implementation and say that the chip costs as much. Also a lot of the cost is through the price of the other components in the implementation, which we know nothing about here.

As someone who hasn't used speakers in ages because I find I'm using headsets 99% of the time, this might actually be something I'd be interested in if the price is right. Lol no. Price is nowhere near right for what it is. Maybe $100-150 for it. That's all it's worth even in the fake shortage economy.
