Boy, is your timing good. Excellent article in the latest April Birding
magazine. At age 40, I am losing the high end (all comments re. ear too close
to the amp during my Jimi emulation phase disregarded). I have ordered a pair
of the "Nature Ear" from the address in the article. I'll let you know how
they pan out after I give them a tryout.
