The market for the digital items plummeted after their glory days in 2021 and 2022, and they’ve proven to be not only an artistic and aesthetic disaster, but a shortcut to financial ruin
I get what you’re saying, but there are basically only 3 companies whose headphones are worth 300-600€. Said companies took decades, mountain of innovations and patents to get where they are now.
If you can actually get that kind of immersion and quality cheaper - I’m all ears. Literally
No judgement intended, and I agree! Trust me when I say that I have an unhealthy amount of money “invested” in headphones and amplifiers. I saw way too much of myself in both sides of that comments thread to not laugh.
Lol no, that is entirely different category, those are essentially limited edition engineering pieces. The consumer one is Ananda unveiled, which in my local shop goes for €460.
A good scam is all about finding a way to bypass bs detectors. Appealing to greed or fear while adding a sense of urgency are the classic ones for good reason. But you’ve got others like appealing to in group/out group dynamics, distrust of institutions, ego, desired self image, laziness, carelessness so much more. You’ve also got those selecting to trigger anyone with a bs detector to only spend time on those without one.
We get idk 1000 of us poors to buy some cheap land in the Midwest. Up in Appalachia.
We sell “Rapture Survival Communities”
They’re $999/month and you’ll get a hidden bungalow community complete with bunker. We’ll fill it with doctors and pastors and birthing women.
BUT YOU CANT KNOW THE LOCATION UNTIL THE RAPTURE HAPPENS. You don’t want any pesky liberals finding it and gaying up the place with their liberal demonic child sacrifice transness.
We will deliver coordinates via analog radio and Morse code once the rapture has started.
By business plan makes Sam Altman hard in his butt:
Collect money
Don’t build anything.
repeat
When they come screaming for proof and receipts and refunds… Just gaslight them and buy a politician.
If I were an “angel”, I’d go with you. I like the cut of your jib. You have what it takes. If only 1) me business angel 2) you pitch-deck. We would clean-up the business space.
Sometimes i observe so many ways to get easy money and don’t have to hard work, than i remember than my parents raised my scruples and moral… Would be so easy if i wasn’t
I need to come up with my own scam to rinse rich idiots.
The best scams are either holistic/psychic stuff or Hi-fi Audio.
High Fi audio is actually legit to a point. Over $300 (well, $400 now with tariffs) is when the scam begins
Not necessarily. For headphones it can go higher. I’m currently looking at hifiman unveiled.
This sequence of comments has me cracking up.
“I need a thing to make suckers out of morons”
…
“You should sell them audiophile shit”
…
“Well… some audiophile shit is ok… up to point… after that, you’re def a sucker!”
…
“Actually… you’re not a sucker at all if you spend a bunch of money on this shit. Here, take my money!”
Wanna start a headphone company with me?

If you’re talking about the Susvara unveiled or whatever they’re currently 15k aud. That is fucking wild.

Unfortunately for you you don’t have what it takes. You need to be a proper psychopath to scam others.
This. The worst thing for any salesman to have is scruples.

Add “AI Agent” to something everyone’s doing like “Tooth brushing AI Agent.”
I’m working on the grift of all gifts, if you want in, you can buy shares of my grift for $100 each.
And if you don’t trust this guy, I offer grift insurance for only 15% of expected value!
Wanna help me convince maga that citrus makes people gay? I think we could solve a lot with that.
