Dear Cosef,

This really depends on 1. What stage we spot the product at, 2. Changes and tuning of the product.

Typically though, after we have confirmed the outer mold of the product, tuning takes about 3-6 months, and production takes about 2-3 months, depending on the factory.

So you're looking at a time frame of about 6-9months for most products.

Some products are just more troublesome to tune than others, these could take up to a year, maybe even two years. Some products never hit the shelves because after all the tuning, just because the market does not seem to want products of that nature anymore.

We apologize for not being able to give a clearer answer with regards to timeframe, but the sure thing that happens from the entire process is that we learn from our mistakes and make new ones, only to improve from it all.

Hope this helps,
Team SonicGear

Hey Cosef,

Thanks for the compliments =)

Since we've always stated to 'Trust Your Ears', quite naturally SonicGear will try to push its major retailers to maintain a test set so that users can try out the earphones. =) We know this is unusual, but we know the importance of having to hear it for yourself.

Corrosive earwax is quite new to us. Frankly, we didn't even think about how corrosive earwax could be. But we will be using silcone earbuds which are everybit as durable as the ones used in our previous EarPumps which have received no complaints at all. Hopefully this would be sufficient =)

The overall quality and build for these EarPumps to be launched are modeled based on our current EarPump series, which are insanely popular (beyond our expectations) in Singapore and Malaysia. There have been very few complaints about the quality of the build of this series, but we will keep an eye out for your concerns regarding sunlight and cable durability.

Hope this answers some of your questions and the SonicGear team is every bit as excited (if not more so) about the arrival of our EarPumps. =D

Regards,
Team SonicGear
