HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 7, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 It's black. The kit comes with a #2 magnet. I don't remember if mine had to be changed to a #3.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 7, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 People are talking about the black magnet paint on Rondo 2 peeling off or scratching.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 7, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 @Jdashiell I saw a pic someone posted who has 2 Rondo 2 processors. For some reason one magnet is black and the other appears brown. The peeling paint is only happening on the magnet painted black.

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 7, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 @Mary Beth The paint on mine is also peeling off. I have a #3 Magnet. I got that in January.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 7, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Mine are black and are not peeling. And I just got off the treadmill and had to wipe considerable sweat off it when I pulled it off my head.

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 7, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Well I mostly wear the Rondo2. It has been peeling from maybe the first or second month.

Hila Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Black . Peeling. Got in January as stronger replacement to the one that came in kit. Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/4564-bottom-of-rondo-2-magnet-color/#findComment-30359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 7, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Seems like many Rondo 2 users are experiencing peeling black paint on the magnet bottom. Glad you have been luck so far @Mary Featherston I wonder what the brown magnet bottom is all about?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 8, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 @Mary Beth if they improved the paint they might have made it brown just to distinguish it from the earlier version. I've noticed that some of the internal Sonnet parts are different colors on my second set than they were on the first too.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 8, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 @Mary Featherston Interesting. When you have time will you post pics of the differences between your Sonnets?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 9, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Mary Beth here you go. I think it's actually just one part, but you can see it's the thing you press to remove the rechargeable battery holder. The sunset CI on the left is all black inside and the Stonehenge one on the right has a little white bit up where the batter holder connects to the processor.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Mary Featherston thank you for the pics. I think they showed us these color changes and color changes on Rondo 1 too. The repair & service team was great. They look at problems users are having and then make changes (like the new Sonnet mic covers). The Sonnet 2 seems to have a more robust rechargeable battery adapter/disposable battery pack connection to the control unit. Med-El mentions this but I have not yet seen a close up picture to see the difference.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 @Dave in Pittsburgh Good idea. Since the magnet type (triangles for internal Synchrony and circles for other internals) and strength is noted on top of that paint, that info disappears as well when the paint scratches or peels off.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 13, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 This is the image I saw online in a public FB group that seems to show two different color Rondo 2 magnets. One that has the strength markings intact and one where they are peeling off.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 14, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 @Dave in Pittsburgh I wonder if you can exchange it for a brown one that doesn’t seem to have this issue?

Dave in Pittsburgh Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I will be seeing the MEDEL customer engagement person Alexanna next Monday at a meet up here in Pittsburgh and I’ll ask here about the paint peeling on Mr. Rondo 2 Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/4564-bottom-of-rondo-2-magnet-color/#findComment-30507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salik Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 mine is black with 4 round magnets, i guess the brown(triangle marking) one come is for specific CI as i was reading on the user manual, forgot the name of that implant.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 26, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Circle versus triangle markings on magnets must match our internal implant. Synchrony types of internals use triangle marked magnets.
