Sorry, I probably should explain a bit. This came from the Caterham F1 auction to help them get to the last GP.

I had it in my basket but was dissapointed at the reviews of the bloom lights and how bright they aren't., so didn't follow through. Would be interested to hear what you think. I really want to replace a few of my light bulbs with the hue ones.

Has anyone seen any GOOD earphones (NOT headphones) in the Amazon sale?

These are half price and have a ton of good reviews on Amazon, everyone ignored them on my Xmas Amazon wishlist so I can't offer any first hand experience frown

I've never really got on with earphones to be honest. The whole concept is very flawed; their USP is compactness, discreteness and not making you look like a tool in public. But those aside, a decent* set of cans will always beat earphones hands down for sound quality.

(* - For a given definition of 'decent')

The Soundmagic E10 get my vote when paired with Comply foam tips. Mine have been going strong for nearly two years now. Saying that I could do with a replacement. Any suggestions?

Bought the Scout Trooper (Speeder Bike Pilot) armour for other half so my assembly list just got that bit bigger (still building my Stormtrooper armour). My daughter was joking last night that both her parents have now joined the dark side biggrin

I have a perfectly good phone (Sony Xperia Z1).
However I used to have a BlackBerry Z10 (it was stolen) which I liked.

So I've just bought another. However I want to keep the Sony sp I will be using two phones. This was probably a stupid idea.
