I got my replacement!!!!!
Bill really reacted very quick. The package was shipped on the first of april (no joke!) and arrived yesterday the sixth of april (that makes 6 days from USA to The Netherlands).
The new ones sound even better then the oldies (Is that possible?).

Cheers,


Frank

That's great news. Does that mean all online vendors have receipt of new stock now? And is there a batch number for buyers to look out for if they get replacements from somewhere other than directly from Phonak Audeo? Anyway, it's reassuring to know you've had no returns from the current stock. That should please a lot of potential buyers

I had my replacement pair too. Phonak realy takes sirrious about customer satisfaction.

(yes, most of the defects are on black PFEs, but how many people have the white ones?)

I've got a white PFE (although I wanted a black one

). After 2-3 months, they haven't failed, but I noticed that the cable is getting stiff. I always use the ear guides. If they fail, would it be possible to get a refund?

Oh, was getting concerned looking at the thread title and 6 pages = :/ but good to see it was just a bad batch.

I spoke to the Phonak UK Product Manager today just to make sure they had received my cracked pair. They had, and shipped a replacement pair to me yesterday so hopefully I'll have them tomorrow

 

[kevvyboy]

The seller i used in UK recieved my 'phones today, and they contacted Phonak who will send me a replacement pair direct.

Good work Phonak

Got an update for you guys.

I ha originally posted about mine cracking awhile back.

Now my replacement pair have also cracked. This crack is in a new location, on the right driver where the wire enters the housing.

I have the black phonaks.

Your second pair cracked? Can you see a date of manufacture on the box?

EDIT: I'll update this in the first post.

Oh, and do you have a pic? I don't think I've heard of any cracks appearing where the wire enters the housing.

Yes. Unfortunately I don't have the box because I used it to send back my first defective pair in.

I'll take cracking housings over the failing cables of the Sleek SA6.

As long as Phonak continues to take care of me like they did the first time I'll be happy.

Was it an online vendor who replaced them or did they come directly from Phonak Audeo? It was posted here that replacements were coming from new stock, but if you don't have a box with the date of manufacture on it, you can't know which batch it's from. I suggest you call Phonak Audeo and request a replacement set from the new and current stock to be on the safe side, and find out which batch your replacements came from, if you can.
