Not to be a mamby pamby protect you for everything that you do from yourself Ontarian. I want to know how you hear external sounds when bicycling? I have never used my Headsix on a self propelled vehicle. I am using a case I picked up for a cell phone about 10 yrs ago that has a side pocke the amp fits in perfectly. I do have the scratchy sound moving the volume control, but a squirt of compressed air fixes it.

PS when I cycle I listen to crap AM talk radio in my non-drive side ear, and I hear everything but electric vehicles.

Actually FYI, I'm an Albertan at heart, just lived in Ontario for a few years. Anyways, when I bike I usually go off by myself in the woods somewhere where hearing outside noise isn't important. Else I will just take one side out so I can hear traffic and people etc.

I'm thinking about doing a reverse-noise-canceling thing, but I'm not sure how it could be accomplished. I have an in-line mic that came with my cell phone but I'm not sure how I would use it to listen to outside noise while listening to music or if it's even possible, just an idea. My old mp3 player had a voice recording feature and I was able to kind of use it as a makeshift hearing aid if I wanted to, it would play back the sounds it recorded in real time if I wanted it to (but not music at the same time).

Hey all,

Not much action happening on this post any more, does that mean the good Dr. is getting ready for releasing the next project? I still love my Headsix and do not consider it a burden to carry it and the IPOD, LOD combo around. After all that is why we have pockets in our shirts. .

Just ordered one of the HeadSix in "Silver", seems some of the stock still available, simply send an email to Dr. Meier for detials, he will responses in no time.

 

[bikeboy999]

Is this a dead topic now? Will a Headseven be forthcoming?

Update 01-05-2010

Dear Headfellows,

Due to the economic crisis, the poor dollar-exchange rate and stiff competitian from Asia sales of the HEADSIX unfortunately never reached the anticipated numbers, despite the enthusiasm of the people that own one. However, we now have reached a point where the silver version is no longer available. There only is (limited) stock of the black version remaining.

As for a Headseven (or Headnine), sorry guys. Right now the risks are too high.

There probably will be a jubileum amplifier by the middle of this year though, to celebrate 10 years Meier-Audio.

Thanks for the update. I still enjoy my Headfive and Headsix with no plans to cut them loose, even though I currently use the 3MOVE a lot more. Cheers!

Wow I'm quite bummed - the headsix deserved a lot more!

Looking forward to the jubilee

I have the Headsix...and I love it!

That's all I have to say

I just wish Corda would develop newer portable amps.

 

[prone2phone]

there is a new amp on their site

 

[dfkt]

Not much of a surprise that Jan Meier releases an amp with a digital volume control (or an even more sophisticated implementation of a similar concept). Considering my Headsix has the absolutely worst volume pot of all amps I've tried (but still is the best overall sounding portable one I have), this might be a welcome upgrade.

Here is the thread on portable amp forum in case any of you missed it: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f105/m...-dance-475051/

Bringing the active ground to portable amp is also good step forward.

 

[alfanumeric]

I want to buy corda 3move is there any link to do so? the official site doesn't have links

 

[swayne]

There's the How To Order link on the top right of the page.

Might sound as a silly question: how does headsix compare to 3move?
