>>Jon--That's good news! >> >>I know Hans Troost in Holland likes them and he suggested that I >>sell them, so I contacted the company and received all their sales >>information and a sample headset. But when I wore them hanging from >>my ears, like the instructions said, the headset kept rubbing >>against my clothing and making its own high pitched noise. >> >> How do you wear theM? Are you wearing them on top of your head? When the Sensgard is resting on your collar, you hear the chafing. I wear them like headphones, over the top of my head. >>Also, my problem may be caused by my tiny ear canals and small >>concha. I couldn't wear the Etymotic 20's either because of my >>small ear canals. They caused my ears to ache. Now that they have >>the Baby Blues, it probably wouldn't be such a problem any more. >>Since you said; >>I modified the mounts for the foam covers by cutting away the >>front portion to reduce pressure on the tragus (that protrusion in >>front of the external auditory canal). >>Indicates that they might have been a bit large for you too. >>How did you modify them? I'd like to try them again. I was uncomfortable with the pressure they exerted so I filed off material on each of the verticals where they contact the head band to let them open more. I also shortened the foam collar and angled it 45 degrees at the front edge so as not to place pressure on the tragus. This reduced the circumference of the foam mount slightly and let the foam conform more to the ear structure. I used them today while pounding in bridge pins. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
