I'm not headway's biggest fan but I wouldn't say their listenings are so biased. In fact, I'd say half of the listenings in the Intermediate book I'm using at the moment are non-native speakers, a lot of Americans and the rest British (English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh).
What is interesting though is no matter where the non-native speaker is from, the students understand them better than the native speakers. Curious.
