2E1 Pro Ears Ultra Headphones For Single Sided Deafness

Thanks a bunch for that information. I did look online but all I saw in the brief search was Bluetooth. Think I’d prefer the radio frequency. I’ll look into Lekato IEM.

Please do PM the email address.

I had an email exchange with the person who developed the 2E1 Pro Ears. As I understand the situation George originally made them for himself following a loss of hearing on one side then started making them for others with the same issues.

I mentioned that I had started a post in the Roon Forum concerning his headphones and there was a good bit of positive discussion. He expressed interest and requested a link so he could see it.

The following information was included in an email response after reading the post.

*Mike, I was not expecting that and reading your posts brought tears to my own eyes, what a great early Christmas present for me and Eric Clapton is one of my favorites! Making the 2E1 for our single sided deaf community has also been a healing experience for me which allowed me to heal over the trauma of my acoustic nerve tumor and hearing loss. *

*PS: Please convey to the Roon forum that I just don’t add the Porta Pro drivers from Koss (or Panasonic for the lower end 2E1) into the ear cups - I actually use a proprietary method of mine that I developed that enhances the sound over factory settings. Also anyone trying the same design without my innovations will not get the same results - there will be feed back problems for having two drivers that close, their will be an echo chamber effect like putting a sea shell to your ear, etc. So a lot of mod work goes into drivers that I repurpose for my 2E1. *

Also, the vibrations you are feeling is my other innovation where I mount the drivers in acoustic foam so they free float (this is why I call my innovation “The Flying Echelon” because the drivers free float and are staggered) - while all headphone drivers are glued down and rigidly set inside ear-cups, mine flex and wiggle with the audio creating a sympatric vibration that enhances the overall listening experience.
