oops...that's what i meant - not the senn px-200, but whether the T2XS was indeed the same thing as the 2X soft. sorry for the mixup...

hmm, im in the uk as well and was considering getting the t2sx...

ive got um2s and was thinking about custom moulds, but the quote was £120 which is virtually the price of the um2s themselves, which makes me think i might be better off selling the um2s and buying a more expensive phone...

so my question is, how much (roughly) are the t2sx's?

(apologies for asking a question not really related to the thread, but i figured since there were so many uk t2sx owners replying to it...)

I paid about £499 total (including moulds) at ACS in Harpenden. I also got the silver presentation case with everything in it.

Congratulations! You've really got yourself a beast of an IEM.

Enjoy!

I'd be keen to know if someone at ACS explicitly stated that they're a UK distributor for Sensaphonics. Just spoke with the people as Sensaphonics who said their only other distributor is in Japan, and they have no knowledge of this company or its products, other than people in the UK calling them and asking them if they are. To which the answer is "no" - They've heard that ACS is claiming their client list and has also used a review by lindrone - editing out ProSonic 2X-s and replacing it with their model name - but that again, they say if you want a prosonic 2x-s, sensaphonic us or japan are the only people distributing it. Talk with Doris and see what she says from sensaphonics

It may be as these reviews state that the ACS model is a great IEM. and very similar to the 2X-s - but claiming to be a sensa distributor - if that's what they've said, is apparently false.

My emails to ACS to ask for clarification have gone unanswered. Has anyone else had them make explicit claims about being a sensa distributor?

You've got to be kidding. If what you said was true, Sensaphonics in the U.S. would have already had ACS sued and closed down in a matter of seconds and they certainly knew about their existence beforehand. ACS doesn't distribute ProPhonic Soft 2X, but the name of the IEM's they manufacture is T2PRO (earlier known as T2XS). T2PRO is Sensaphonic ProPhonic 2XS under a different name (with several enhancements in their construction which, I think, are also available in the U.S. form). ACS has also come up with a brand-new IEM, apparently unavailable in the U.S.- T2i. It seems that it is ACS now where the progress goes forth. ACS has also got way more different products available than Sensaphonics in the U.S. It is not the hottest piece of news that it was the U.K. people who actually taught U.S. technicians how to make and work with the IEM's. I know that they were official U.K. distributors of Sensaphonic ProPhonic 2XS under a different name. As for their current affinity I don't know.

ACS has never claimed to be a distributor for Sensaphonics. Bob Bieny (ACS) and Michael Santucci (Sensa) work closely together and the T2XS from ACS is absolutely exactly the same as the Sensas.

I called Sensaphonics in the US to ask who could do my impressions and they gave me the name of Hearing Healthcare Protection, based in the same town as ACS. HHP do the moulds (and their main business is hearing aids), and ACS do the manufacturing of the IEMs.

I have been to ACS this week and had my impressions done for a pair of the T2i's. They were great with their customer service giving me lots of time and insights into their products. I am getting custom molds done for my ER4p's at the same time. Hopefully I will be picking up my goodies next week. Can't wait to hear them.

Simon, good talking to you this week - thanks for your help.

So, you've decided to go with these ones

. Nice choice. Both T2i's and T2PRO's are premium choices anyway. Congrats.

root - yeah! you were also instrumental in my choice, thanks.
