Hello all,
Headsonic will be on holiday from the 24th of December to the 5th of Jan. During this time, we will be unable to ship orders, however purchases can be made as usual. All orders placed will ship on the 6th.
Wishing all our customers an excellent festive season, and best wishes for the new year.
The Headsonic Team
We expect plenty of Audio Technica ANC7’s to arrive within the week. However, only time will tell if it sees us through Christmas or not, so get in early!
The current market turmoil has severely weakened the Australian dollar against the USD, forcing a price increase on most pairs. We will be handing this with each product as we incur it at the wholesale level.
Most predictions consider the recent devaluation to be the result of panic and severe risk-aversion in financial markets, but unfortunately the steep increases in unemployment in the most recent statistics translate to further interest rate decreases. As such, it may be as long as 6 months to a year before the dollar returns to a favourable level. During this time, we may have less stock than normal on hand, so that we can take advantage of any change in the current rate as quickly as possible, and maintain our position as the best value retailer in the Australian market.
Once again, thank you for choosing Headsonic.
Cheers,
Dimitri
Headsonic will be away on vacation to Queensland’s sunny Gold Coast from Friday June 27nd to Tuesday July 15th 2008. During this time, emails will be replied to sporadically, and any orders submitted will be filled upon our return.
Thankyou once again for choosing Headsonic.

Valued customers,
AKG has recently announced their new headphone lineup, comprising of both a revamped line of studio headphones (K141, K171, K240 and K271) and 3 new models (K77, K99 and the new in-ear IP2).
Even more promising is the rumor of the new AKG K702, intended to replace the fantastic K701. While there has been no concrete news as yet, the K701 has now ceased production, and as a consequence of units becoming harder to get, we have stopped ordering from our US distributor. I believe the lack of an official announcement is due to AKG wishing to sell the little stock that remains of the K701 before the K702 is released, to avoid a desperate underpriced clearance of the remainders.
With the sales of the K701 recently passing an estimated 20,000 units, it makes little sense for the new K702 to be drastically different from the original. We suspect that AKG will address the comfort issues of the original K701 with the K702, and leave the rest of the headphone largely unchanged, as previous AKG product decisions have followed the very sensible option of not fixing what isn’t broken, even at the risk of selling some products well past their maturity.
At this stage, we expect stock of the K702 to arrive within one or two months, and to be priced at a similar level to the K701. We will not be taking preorders of the K702 until it is on its way to us.
Secondly, we would like to welcome Stephane to the Headsonic team. Stephane will be managing a complete upgrade of our website over the next month, and the end result should be truly world-class, with a web 2.0 style rating system and brand new discussion forum.
Thanks again for choosing Headsonic.

Some of you may have noticed the many ‘Out of Stock’ icons on our website. Do not fear, we’re not going out of business, just moving to a new, larger location on Brisbane’s North Side. We’re also changing the way we do business, and from now onwards all our stock is located in our Brisbane warehouse, ready for shipping within 24 hours. I’d also like to thank our loyal customers for staying with us during the occasional shipping delays we’re experiencing as we move. The move should be complete by the 1st of February, at which point we’ll be able to ship faster than ever. We’re also taking this time to completely overhaul our web site, adding new features like a forum and automated tracking, so with a click of a button on your account page you can see exactly where your purchase is.
Thanks again for getting Headsonic.
