    Good songs to test bass on headphones?

    No real deep bass on this jazzy funky track, but i reckon it's quite a good test for bass control/tightness. Too loose and it sounds like one lumpy bass note.       George Duke: 500 Miles To Go. (obviously, not so good via Youtube's low-fi sound.)

    I have the opportunity to buy an Objective 2 O2 Headphone Amplifier for a decent price. Could anyone advise me as to whether this would be a good accompaniment to the Alclair references? I mainly use a Sansa clip+ and ocassionally my iphone 3gs.   Cheers.

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    If one buys the 232 direct from Phonak, they throw in a pair of 022's, which one can sell on an auction site for around 70 quid (minus auction costs, etc), which would take a portion of the sting out of the full price.   I did the same for my 112's. When i bought them, they were throwing in...

    Quote:     Woo-hoo!!   They've arrived, safe and sound. Took only six days. (including weekend), so you were pretty well spot on, David.   I'm hoping to have the finished articles in my filthy mitts in around 3 weeks. :)

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    Quote: Oh cool. I didn't know that.   I've just done a quick search and found the thread about using hydrogen peroxide as a cleaning agent. Would i be correct in thinking that Otex would work, as it contains hyrogen peroxide?       I've had an email reply from Phonak regarding...

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    I emailed them asking how us owners stand, when it comes to buying filters in the future.

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    I've just been on Phonak Audeo's webite and got a little pop-up, stating that their online shop is closing at the end of March and that Phonak will cease to make earphones, so they can concentrate on the main business. (Hearing aids)   If that's the case, then it may be a good idea to stock...

    Quote: I sent them ISF. It was only cost £10.69.   I've sent stuff to the US before and on average it's taken around 10-14 days to turn up. Postwoman Patricia at the P.O. told me that my ISF package would take around 3-5. I'm guessing that means 3-5 working days, but it's still pretty...
