    Not sure what these are like, but 4.5 stars on Amazon (£113) so can't be awful.

    Down from €199

    Link

    Anyone have any experience of them?

    Sure.

    Amazon Link

    Absolutely miles cheaper than Amazon.

    My 2 Cents: Never heard of these but good reviews on Amazon, at 1/3 rd of the price = No brainer.

    Good spot OP.

    HAHA just found out that Ian Taylor is none other than ex Aston Villa Player Ian Taylor. Like he designed them. That's brilliant.

    with only 6 reviews I'd take that rating with a pinch of salt

    There are numerous good tech reviews upon Launch on You Tube for these. And this is at a price of £169.

    This is a bargain in every sense of the word.

    Only question is if you want wireless, NFC headphones, are happy to have the slightly bass heavy and you are happy with having them in White, Orange or Pink!

    I got the white ones, and will be returning them if I look like an absolute plonker. Shame they didnt have the black.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,662 ✭✭✭Luckycharms_74


    I just bit the bullet and got the while ones too :)
    Thanks OP. I can't resist a bargain :P

    They are lovely headphones too, I'd be happy with them tbh, especially for €30.

    I'm buying a pair of these ones though :p

    Only pink ones left now, the other colours are out of stock, hopefully they get some more in.

    I'd say they might have other colours in store? If so I could get someone to grab a pair for me...

    The In Store availability for the white ones changed from "Available" to "Not available" between 22:46 last night and 5:40 this morning.

    I don't get it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 892 ✭✭✭Just a little Samba


    Boo-urns.

    The other, Sony pair last week also said not available instore on the website but they were in store and are still in store at €29 in some places...

    Store was closed? :pac:

    Back in Stock on website


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,200 ✭✭✭moonboy52


    Cheers RunRoryRun!

    The reviews look great. I was not in the market for a set but for €50 i couldn't say no :)

    My LG G2 supports Bluetooth 4.0(low power mode) and aptX, so that is what swung it for me.

    I went for the Orange, but i will be using them at home so all good :)

    Thanks Op,
    I was looking for a cheap pair of bluetooth headphones.

    I wasn't expecting to get a quality pair like these, so delighted especially when you see some online reviews where people rate them as good as Sennheiser.

    Thanks a million, looking forward to getting them and trying them out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,200 ✭✭✭moonboy52


    Orange & White are sold out now i think.

    Nervous times ahead for the rest of us then. Do they send out an 'order dispatched' email? Has anyone got one if so?

    Yeah that would be great, I got the Sony ones recently but these do look lot more comfortable!

    Find the Sony ones get sore after an hour or so

    grand. I'm pretty adamant on using in ears when out and about and I have ATH M50s in the house so don't really need these unless I prefer the sound to the Audio Technicas (highly doubtful).

    I tried a couple of stores In Dublin city centre this evening but nothing available

    Didn't order from the Web because I didn't want the hassle of delivery but no joy in store

    Same as that. The guy in the ship said they'll loosen our over time. Suggested maybe putting them around the arm of a couch for a while?


  • Registered Users Posts: 92 ✭✭mackcracknsack


    Gutted I missed out on these headphones!!! Forgot to bring my wallet to work this morning : (
    Decent reviews online and the price was fantastic.

    Might bite the bullet and test my masculinity by going for the pink ones : \


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,200 ✭✭✭moonboy52


    And cancelled. They offered me the pink. I declined. Bit gutted, but oh well.

    Pink en route. A real man can get away with wearing pink.

    Of course they can

    Mine just arrived. Very light, nice packaging. Quite comfortable, straight away lacking in the mid range out the box but well worth the 50 quid.

    VERY BASS HEAVY! I must say, very BEATSY in sound, which is not a good thing.

    Just gave it the James Blake "Limit to Your Love" test. Felt like my head was vibrating. Sound is novelty bass, but will be good for Hip Hop heads. Soundstage isnt bad on them in fairness, good isolation, but noticeable sound leakage so you wouldn't want them at more than 7/10ths volume on public transport.
