Musicians are asking us what music stores carry our headphones so they can try them out.
We have been in the market place for 14 months. We are in 600 of the approx. 2500 music stores in the US. The music stores are slow at ordering through our 5 US distributors. It seems that they wait until a new product starts getting good reviews and customers are asking for the product before they get off of dead center and place an order. Although we now have new distributors in Singapore, Malasia and Australia since the great review from... Dan Richards( DOT)... of Digital Pro Sound who awarded us with 5 DOTS. The link is on our home page, just click "REVIEW". www.extremeheadphones.com www.drummersheadphones.com www.directsoundheadphones.com We have a 30 day money back garantee if customers are not satisfied. I started building my headphones 10 years before the others on the market and started marketing them after so many request from studio musicians from coast to coast that had used my prototypes and wanted to buy them on the spot after using them on stage and in the studios. Really comfortable and affordable, serious isolation headphones that are designed to save your hearing for the rest of your musical career. They saved mine! Thanks for your time, John Josef |

Got a set at your website. Dan Richards is correct sir. Your headphones are here to stay.
Saw them in Moderm Drummer and Home recording. Couldn't do without them now. Do you give discounts on multiple sets? |

Hey, John! Good to see you here.
Are there some music stores with online stores that carry the Extreme Isolation Headphones, or are most people ordering direct for your website? Dan Richards Digital Pro Sound The Listening Sessions |

John--
I wanted to let you know that I've been quite happy with your headphones. Hopefully, I'll have time to write a review in the next couple weeks. In some ways, they've been the most impressive product to come through for review. --Steve, publisher of Mojo Pie www.piemusic.com |

A big thank you to John for putting together the best all around isolation headphones I've ever put on a clients head. Also a big thank you to Dan (Dot) for setting them on the desk in front of me and simply saying "Trust Me". I did, the EX-29's smoked and my client said "Cool !" What else can we ask for.

I used the Extreme Isolation Headphones (HP's) for the first time in the weekend. I was mixing sound for a band at a gig, around 1000 people and I was about 18 metres from the stage.
The most amazing thing about these HP's is being able to hear your mix or solo without interference from the PA sound delayed through the air. It was much easier to hear reverb and delay effects in the mix and hear the attack and sustain on instruments you solo-ed. For this reason alone I highly recommend them to live sound engineers. Initially I thought the HP's sounded a bit dull compared to the Sony's I had to compare them with, but by the end of the night, I realized they were just "flatter" and probably presented a more realistic impression of what was actually leaving the front of house console. The bass is nice and extended and I had no problem discerning the low bass guitar open E string. A great product. Cheers Tim. www.buzzaudio.com |

I got a pair of Extreme Isolation Headphones last week mostly because of the reviews I've read in the newsgroups. I work in a small room and needed something to cut out the noise. The phones are great! At first they were a little tight but I bent the center band a little and now they fit perfect. The drummer in my band tried them and he liked them and has ordered a pair too.

Thanks Dan, Tim and Steve for the nice reviews and comments.
I appreciate and value your comments. I wanted to clear up something that people are asking us about. The headphones are made in St. Louis,MO.USA not in Switzerland. We have our earcups manufactured in Switzerland and it says "Made in Switzerland" on the bottom of the ear cup. Anyone would think that when they see them. I have been making Extreme Isolation Headphones ( without the name on them ) since 1984 for myself and a few close friends in Studio City,CA. and LA studios and in St. Louis, MO. It took many years of having studio and stage musicians asking me where they could get a set before I realized what a great tool these headphones were for the music industry musicians and engineers. I could not believe that nothing like this was on the market. After seeing a few brands surface on the market in the mid 90's and going "OH MY GOD!" "I waited too long". I tried the others out and realized that they were not up to performing like Extreme Isolation does. It still took a long time to get some help to get them to market. You all know when a musician says," heah, can you invest in my headphones or give me a loan?" They look at you like??????? Someone finnaly got excited about them and here we are! I will keep finding ways to improve on the product but we are very pleased with the overall response we have received. The design and thought process to refine the headphones to where they are now came from the many comments and suggestions from experienced musicians like yourselves. It seemed they had tried some of the others out there too. Thanks for all of the support out there and please feel free to email us anytime with questions or comments you might have. See Ya, John Josef |
