Ray, given you got yours from RS, I wonder whether it's worth seeing if T=
apesense have any.  I'd be interested in a pair for use with my Book cour=
ier either in MP3 mode or as a synthesised speech text reader.  If I find=
 anything out I'll let the list know.

Cheers now.

Ian

Hi.  The specs for these phones are pretty good, but then on-paper specs =
often do.  Impedence is 4 ohms, which I would have thought is on the low =
side.  It doesn't seem to have any deletarious effect on my Sony MD playe=
r though.

I've mentioned the Philips phones previously, which are cheaper.  Cannot =
hope wondering if there might be a 're-badging' operation going on here. =
Its difficulut to imagine the R&D being done all over again.  I'd have th=
ought patents would be involved too.

Will take a look at the Boss site soon.

RAy.
