So iam either hoping you people may have some knowledge about the technology in earphones and are in the plastic manufacturing business or can help me by finding a decent site to help me. Any help would be mucho appreciated, and i remember some rather clever chap was on here discussing speakers and sound systems so hopefully this catches his eye. I may have to change product to investigate so any suggestions for that may be welcome aswell, bear in mind it cant have loads of electronics and something household with some mechanics in it would be brilliant such as a bike pump. I need to look into the ergonomics of the product aswell as the aesthetics.

I know nowt about headphones but I do know about the workings of large corporations - and email is about the worst way to try to get hold of anyone. Unless you target it at the correct named inbox first time, it's liable to keep getting forwarded round head office until someone just deletes it. It's human nature; everyone's busy and it's unlikely there's any one person whose job description perfectly matches what you're asking of them. So it's easier for them to just pass it on to the next guy.
Best thing you can do is pick up the phone, talk to switchboard, explain what you want and try to get put through to someone. If you can't, try to get switchboard to recommend a named email address you can use.
