Sennheiser Launches Battle Against Counterfeiters [The Hartford Courant, Conn.]

Sennheiser Electronic Corp., a high-end audio maker based in Old Lyme, is trying to knock out scores of websites and vendors selling counterfeit versions of its popular headphones, with a blast of lawsuits.

In one case, a phony pair of Sennheiser headphones was purchased from an online website by the son of Sennheiser's president. When Jeremy Falcone complained to his father, company president John Falcone, "It was, 'Hey Dad, these Sennheiser headphones I bought sound horrible!'" Turns out the horrible-sounding headphones were counterfeit, John Falcone said.

Sennheiser, a German company whose U.S. headquarters are located in Old Lyme, CT filed a dozen federal lawsuits this week in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuits, which allege trademark infringement and other violations, identify more than 100 suspicious websites and dealers in the U.S. and China engaged in the sale of counterfeit Sennheiser-branded products.

As more pirate websites and dealers selling knockoffs are identified, "more lawsuits will be forthcoming," Falcone said Tuesday.

DPA Headworn Mics - how will it work for me?

"How will it work for me?" Isn't that the question we really ask when we're buying something, especially something we buy without trying it first.

We've all been disappointed by unmet expectations and products that turn out to be too-good-to-be-true. Well, the DPA d:fine won't be one of them. Unfortunately, it's not for everyone.

Those of you who know us know that there are certain products that we believe in 100%. Many of them are featured on our site. What you may not know is that we have demo stock of certain products so that you can try them with your system.

We've sold thousands of earsets over the years, and the earset itself has revolutionized the quality of the spoken word. The DPA d:fine (pronounced just like the word define), along with its cousins, the 4088 and 4066, are re-defining the standard for performance and quality among earset microphones.

We're excited to announce...

This is a topic that many of us in the tech world are dealing with these days. We are continually asked to do more with less. This is common problem, and can perpetuate a cycle that will burn us out if we try to actually do it. Over the years, I’ve been in three churches that started off great, and quickly turned into a “Hey, you’re doing a great job, so now you need to do 2x as much with 1/3 the resources.”

To keep from working ourselves to death, we need to learn to delegate.

The trick is getting started. How do we decide what to "farm out." What jobs can I reasonably expect a volunteer to do, and what jobs to I need to keep on my plate. Though you may find yourself in a similar position of demands exceeding your ability to meet them, your answers may well differ from mine. Part of the process is to determine...
