"Best of Show" Adverts

I think I know exactly who you are talking about. I have seen the ads and think, gee, all 4 of their CD players won best in show. It is misleading. Not quite a lie and not quite the truth. With so many great products out there I see no reason to deal with companies that market this way.

Why worry about it? Beyomd which as Mapman said the statement could have come from just one guy's thoughts that were published only as his experience at a show. I have not purchased my gear based on that kind of statement. If you see it repeatedly from different sources or a major magazine it would pique my interest, but I would need to hear myself if I could.

It is accurate in general to state that a companies product line won best in show (as a result of a specific model perhaps).

If a specific model is said to do same and did not, that would be clearly a misrepresentation.

Never rely on marketing materials alone though in making a purchase decision. The devil is always in the details.
