ZMF vs Super Review*

He has a right to call it as he sees it. If the manufacturer doesn't like that they shouldn't have taken the chance of giving them to him for review. 

I think ZMF could have handled it better, and he admitted as much in his follow up apology. I'd also say the reviewer is largely to blame for poorly handling the measurement process and then arguing about it. He should have taken the pointers about the headphone being tricky to measure, and then redid everything right away. He eventually did that but still had an attitude about it. I would say he seemed committed to his original position and could not back down at that point. 

The cynic in me says he may have done this to garner more controversy which means more eyeballs and ultimately more sponsors or advertising dollars. But who knows.
