First and foremost, I would like to thank Denon for sending me out the AH-NCW500’s for review. I was quite intrigued with the new range of headphones that Denon were offering, especially after the old range of headphones became phased out (D2/5/7000).
The wireless headphones range, thus was something that I was intrigued in, as it would be a little different from the “normal” range of headphones, both in portability and features.

The Denon AH-NCW500’s can be bought from AmazonUK & AmazonUSA.

First and foremost, I would like to thank TDK for sending me out the 3 speaker boombox to review. I’m honoured to have had the opportunity to review this boombox, and it has been a joy listening to it and using it.
The boombox can be bought in quite a few countries, in the UK it can be bought from Amazon UK & AmazonUSA, and many other resellers to name a few, for around £350. Furthermore, for more information head over to TDK’s website.

The TDK 3 Speaker Boombox, is a powerful set of speakers, which in my opinion, is used for indoors use only, and not meant to be really portable, despite it having the option of having batteries inside it. I have been using it throughout my university final year as the best way of blasting music during our pre-drinks and whilst cooking with others in the kitchen.

1964-SLV Universal IEM Custom Sleeves for Phonak Audéo PFE 232

Leave a Reply

Introduction

In summer 2012, I was visiting my family in California, USA for a month of sunny holidays.
Whilst I was out there, I thought to myself to get some custom sleeves done. I had previously, from the UK emailed 1964 Ears to see if they would do the PFE 232’s – The reason being, is because the PFE’s have a slightly larger nozzle than your standard earphones like the Shure Se535’s ones. Thus I couldn’t find a reputable custom earphone company within Europe that would do them. All of them that I called, emailed, either hadn’t heard of the PFE 232’s nor would do them. For example, I got in contact with ACS in the UK, and they said they were unavailable to do it; I’m sure there are other companies out there, that could have done it, but I wasn’t aware of them at the time.
