I hardly feel this is a slam....
The comments are not a condemnation of the product, and I actually read that for the most part they enjoyed them. Remember, as with any reviewer, they are not in the business of selling audio equipment, they are in the business of sellling magazines. As this is an online review, they need to generate website hits to attract the attention of advertisers.
I would have questions about there testing methods, and equipment involved. Moreover, using a numeric scale is convenient, but what happens if they rated something as a 10/10....and then reviewed a product that simply outperformed the 10/10 in every way? What would they do? Suddenly the scale becomes suspect.
Anyway, I think that a review is a good thing. Maybe they did not think as much of the package as you would have liked, but we can each have opinions.
(sound of BBIBH jumping off soapbox....)
