Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

[cathalferris]

Just agreed to buy a Galaxy Gear Live from an acquaintance, for significantly less than half price. Her place of work got a few of them in as thank-you gifts for employees and her phone isn't capable of running the required android version, so she's selling it to me. Definitely do not need it, but it's a nice toy.

Also awaiting delivery of a Bluetooth audio receiver, so I can output from my PC upstairs, or my phone to my hifi or tv speaker system downstairs. Cheap enough, but a complete luxury.

lol. Reading your post just reminded me that I'm waiting for one of those as well - from Banggood! That website is more dangerous than ebay. I nearly ordered a chinese smart watch to go with it.

Seemed rude not to add a couple more cylinders.

Had a tree blow down into my garden a couple of weeks ago, so had to buy this.. Unfortunately, had it lifted out yesterday by the neighboring farmer, with his Manitou, so going out looking for stuff to chop up / down.

To be fair the writting is a little out of focus...

I couldn't make it out, it confused me as the rear view looked like a mini clubman s.

I have the one down from that keyboard and it is very good, BUT it makes a racket when typing and is quite irritating if you make notes while on a call for example.

First I bought this:-



It wasn't in good, condition, so I took it to bits. Then I bought 2 more frames.

Then I bought this, 'cos I needed to make some new round bits for bike:-



Then I bought this to make not round bits for bike:-



Oh! Now the man shed needs extending !!!!

Banggood is great, I'm swayed far too much by their cheap prices, free shipping and regular want this email.

Where? How much? Take my money !!!!!

[LordFlathead]

eBay but I got fleeced by the seller. It was up for £100 or make offer so I offered him £80. He then refused the offer and relisted it at buy it now £200 once there was an interest for it

Anyway, it's done now and it's rather different

Going on Holiday on Monday and my Denon headphones have developed a buzz in the left ear when volume goes past 70% - Can't deal with that so emergency Sennheisers have been purchased - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-HD-218i-Headset...

Seem like good value as they were over £100 when they first came out

I don't want to burst your bubble but I have a pair of these and I found them to be very dissapointing.

I have a pair of £30 Creative earphones that sound great, have lots of volume, good bass and generally sound fantastic for the money. I was travelling a lot with work and found them to be quite uncomfotrable after 30 minutes of use (the only negative) I replaced them with the Sennheisers after hearing good things about their products. I think I paid about £60 and thought like you, they were good value as they had previously been £100+. They don't have the volume of the Creatives, I have to turn my iPhone up virtually to max. They also have very little bass.

Annoyingly I bought some B&O Form 2's on eBay for £30 to replace the Sennheisers. They are still not as good as my cheapo Creatives but much better than the Sennheisers. The B&O are comfortable and clear, just lack a bit of dynamic punch. I use the B&O for long trips and the Creatives for listening to a few tracks at a time.

I think I'll have to bite the bullet and just get a decent pair of £300+ over ears to get the comfort and quality I'm after.

Like I say I don't want to be too negative and they are cheap enough not to worry about it but I'd advise you try and get a demo if you can.

edited to add, just re-read and noticed you've already bought them.
