The demo is just a demo. According to the web site, the phones come equipped to repeat that process to acoustically match the specific earphones to your ears and apparently can be repeated as needed.
It appears to match the audio level at eight different frequencies to each ear. Like many, my ears are quite different, with large holes in the response due to too much weapons firing in the Army many years ago. They compensate for that. I found the impact listening to their music clips striking. I would like to hear if that has an effect on Ham-band SSB comms. The headphones are $179 I believe. FWIW, I do have the beard. Didn't notice any tats or man-buns on the models, but I wasn't searching for them. I have no involvement with the company. I just ran across the web site and thought it was interesting to those using headphones. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Bunte Sent: Friday, February 3, 2017 12:12 PM To: Al Lorona Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Interesting Headphones I think the demographic they are shooting for is likely the folks who see friends paying $300 for super fancy headphones, and can't spend that kind of money... maybe those folks look different than you do... I know they don't look much like me. I do think they are quite interesting and I believe you are correct in that they tailor the response to each ear separately. My hearing aids do that for me. Where I think these phones become less attractive, is that as your ears change, a new set may become necessary. Also, the way they evaluate what settings would be "correct" for you, seems too dependent on the headphones with which you take their test. I am very happy with the "Gaming" set from Plantronics that I got from BEST BUY for about $16.00.
