Hopefully they'll get someone in who can give them a bit of a shake...

I was surprised to see they are trying to muscle in on Sonos. I can't ever see them being taken seriously against them. Doubtful anyone other than Ashdown enthusiasts will consider them.

Haha. Yes. What is the point of the meter thing. I find them neat on an amplifier, but you can't see it on your headphones

'Bassic coding skills...'

'If your interested in the position...'

Bloody hell.

And the quote in the ad in the music mags... was it someone from Biffy Clyro? - 'These headphones are cool as f***!'

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Maybe copy reading is also a requirement and this is the first test

By the way ... Despite the fun, I was seriously thinking someone might want it. It might not be the best of amps and stuff, but a good way for a young kid to get into the industry

Quite right. It's certainly seems a better deal than the ad which ran years ago for a marketing assistant at (I think) Warwick. The money was ... er ... tight, the duties remarkably onerous and it also involved a six-month 'temporary' relocation to Germany.

I'd be more concerned about requiring someone to have an interest in Weechat......

08:30 - 17:30 5 days a week? How long are the lunch breaks? For those sort of hours, I'd expect a lunch time finish on the Friday. Interesting to note that they don't consider knowledge of musical equipment to be essential, or even desirable.

I'd never seen the headphones before - I must admit, for a second I did wonder whether it was an April Fools joke that leaked out early. I'd feel a right pillock wearing anything that looks so daft.

i had to look up the headphones,a meter you cant see unless you take them off,seems a tad gimmicky.
