Thank You For The Headphones, BUT . . .

KIA probably didn't initiate this, probably KH to help raise awareness of their brand.

I'd never heard of them and, frankly, don't want or need a "high end" sound system in my car or my ears.. Pity we can't make THAT an option (along with Nav. on the GT2)

HK has been around a long time... When in the navy in the early 80's, a friend of mine had a bad ass HK home system which could bounce the paint right off the walls.

Wait until the next batch of headphones arrive...That's all we will see on facebook

Im not going to lie to u. They do sound amazing.

Tell em their dreaming, I can get a Bose pair for that.

But that's not it: Bose won't have Stinger on them, or KIA either. It isn't about headphones, it's about the mention you miss. Which is legitimate. Silly promotion, really: Kia should just treat everyone everywhere as equally preferred customers. This is just a tiny facet of an annoying "quality" of Kia: how they tailor their trims to differently perceived markets, thus providing and denying this or that feature on the Stinger based on some mysterious protocols decided in corporate marketing meetings in the depths of midnight, etc. And US Stinger owners are pissed at Canadian Stinger owners, and Aussies are pissed at Yanks because they got headphones for free, etc. It makes me wonder if Kia is a tool for globalists who want to divide and conquer. Sow divisions by sowing envy. (I always think this way.)

Yeh real dungeons and dragons eh?

Bought car in March- got headphones end of August. Ebay prices are not realistic, lol. This is a mass market Bluetooth unit, custom labeled for promotional purposes. Very nice of Kia to swag their customers, nevertheless. Bluetooth 'phones are notoriously low-fi, so I'll be surprised if I prefer them to my Grados (I won't). Spring tension on the head band is tight for my fat head. Smells like leather ear cushions. Comes with travel bag. Free is good!

How many would have preferred a credit for that value towards an accessory?
