“Marty’s always built a good product. We just have a different philosophy in how we build and what we want it to do. The shift from single-driver to multi-driver in-ears was a natural progression — if it wasn’t me, it would’ve been someone else.”

Jerry acknowledges Marty Garcia’s consistent quality in product design while noting their differing philosophies in construction and intended performance goals. He expresses respect for Marty and reframes their relationship as part of a natural industry progression rather than direct competition. The shift from Future Sonics’ single-driver designs to multi-driver in-ears is presented as an inevitable next step in audio reproduction, suggesting that if Jerry hadn’t made the leap, another innovator would have. This adds depth to the industry origin story, showing how overlapping contributions and respect among pioneers shaped the IEM landscape.
