Amazon Black Friday Sales *NO COMPETITOR PRODUCTS TO BE DISCUSSED*

They had some beyerdynamic dt770 80ohm on deal for £80. This is super cheap.

hd598's which are cheaper iirc today only are far superior, unless you need closed.

i own both the dt770 and the hd558 (which can be modded into a HD598)

i take it you have never been in a night club or at a concert where you can "feel" the bass?

basically bass orientated headphones are better for immersion.

reference is better for music.

bass light with wide soundstage better for competitive gaming

I can FEEL the bass, my sub can make my house shake....

It's not like I can feel the sofa move with headphones. Comparing headphones to night club and concert is Apples and Oranges.

Headphones goes down to what? 20hz?

Subs can goes down much lower, with a 12" driver, that's when you can feel them. No matter how good the engineering, a 1" driver isn't going to move enough air to be able to feel anything.

I had the hd555 before the beyerdynamic and prefer the dt770 by far.

Available for £90 via the Spanish site.

just picked up the fire tablet for £34.99. i plan to put cyanogenmod on it

 

[Catanonia]

Better deals on the high street.

Wandered into Boots this morning and got the hair curlers the wife wanted discounted for the day by 25% Happy camper and have them in my hand and local shop should anything go wrong

Couldn't resist a new SSD from OCUK too

How easy is that to do, I need a new tablet but don't want any of the adverts on it?

£75 yes definetely for gaming you won't find a better gaming headphone unless you buy AKG Q701, K702, etc. They were £115 in the sale a few days ago.

If i had the option between the 2 I would have went for the K702 for £115.

If i were to compare the 2 the K702 is a 9.5/10 in terms of gaming the HD598 would be a 9/10.

Compare that to some gimmicky headset by steelseries or razer, etc I would rate them as being around 6/10 for gaming.

For movies you will want something with more energy and bass.

Good gaming headphones don't make good movie headphones. In competitive gaming you don't want to hear loud blaring explosions you want to pinpoint soft foot steps. Whereas in a movie you want to feel the explosion.

So there is no such thing as a great competitive gaming and movie headphone.

If you want a great immersive headphone which is brilliant for movies then look at phillips fidelio x1 in the members market or brand new fidelio x2 (newer model with removable ear cups)

Thanks for that response Sonny.

Work away in hotels a lot and game on my laptop so these sound perfect! In fairness I mainly watch movies at home with the speakers. These headphones in reality will probably do 90% Gaming and the remaining 10% for tv, movies and youtube music vids!

Your account works across all Amazon sites IIRC although obviously you probably won't get quite the same next day service.

 

[Housey]

I can not find anything to buy

I don't see anything I want

I need 'things' because the whole world tells me I need things today, THIS day

Thanks,

Yeah getting next day delivery from Spain would be something!
There's also a Garmin 810 for £150 on the Italian site so wanted to be sure before ordering.

 

[Housey]

Shame.

I might buy another, but think I'll wait till tomorrow, I don't like queues

 

[Housey]

...or people

 

[slick rick]

All I purchased so far was a 128gb Samsung evo micro SD, there was a Makita SDS drill bit and chisel set I wanted but missed it.

Can you kindly refrain from discussions with hints or links, pertaining to items OCUK sell. Thank you.

 

[One More Solo]

Picked up the HD598s for that price, should be perfect for listening to music at home and practicing guitar. I was tempted by the DT770s but I'll probably keep my earbuds for out and about, easier to transport.
