JUST IN - O NEILL/PHILIPS HEADPHONES

    Ok Boardies I know that I'm in the industry a long long long time - but every so often a new product comes along that makes you sit up and just say W O W - However it's not often that a few new headphones make me go W O W

    But this new O'Neill (of surf/Ski fame)/ Philips range of cans really are seriously special...
    • For a start they look great.
    • Secondly the sound A M A Z I N G - Better than anything I have heard at an equilivalent price point from any other manufacturer (Philips included).
    • Finally, they have loads of funky features that mark the range out as seriously special - especially the 'non-tangle' cables which are a really great feature.

    Lets start at the in-ear end - I normally hate in-ear cans but these really are comfortable, fit, and sound great - way out of kilter with their price point!

    The Speckled - SHO9550/1/2/3/4

    http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/s/sho9550_10/sho9550_10_pss_eng.pdf

    These are remarkable cans - I have been using them myself for the last month and I just love them (they have finally replaced my trusty Sennheisers after years of using Sennheiser).

    They are available in Black/White/ Pink/Purple/Blue at just €29.99

    Next up is the SHO4507 - The Covert (Don't ask me where the names came from!) - These are really top quality Iphone compatiable headsets so they include a mic and iphone controls - again they sound great - Radically better than the standard Poddy cans and best of all you take the cable out of your pocket and you dont spend the next 10 minutes untangling the cable - magically they just always seem to come out untangled!

    Ok at €39.99 they are not cheap - but then how much do you like your music?

    Next up are two full size cans:
    The SNUG - SHO8800/02 (Black/white or purple)
    sho8800_10_rtf_.jpg

    http://www.toaheadphones.com/#/products/snug

    Again - none of your budget rubbish here - these are serious cans especially if you are sporty and appreciate Audio quality -the headband models feature the non tangle fabric cables again and 'stress relief' (not what you think!) How many times have you caught your headphone lead whilst you were running for a cab/bus/luas etc and written off your headphones/got whiplash - never again - these have a cable connector that will just give way - saving your expensive cans and your neck strain!

    A real bargain at €49.99

    Last - The Stretch €99.99 and again they are worth it just for theAudio quality (but they do look so neat as well!) http://www.toaheadphones.com/#/products/stretch/about

    sho9560_10_rtf_.jpg

    A bit more subtle than The Snug - these really so sound amazing.

    We have a demo set up in The Philips Shop and the Guys there will look after you if you would like a demo at any time (and we will get you the Best possible pricing as well if you mention you are a Boardie)

    We will ship anywhere in Ireland free of charge!

    Check out The O'Neill micro site http://www.toaheadphones.com/
    (It makes me want to get my ass in gear & book the Skiing trip!)

    Keep us posted if we can assist guys,

    Hi Rednik

    We have yet to receive the SHO4507.

    I've just spoken with the Headphone Rep and they expect to have them available just before Christmas.

    I havent even seen them myself yet...

    I'll put you up on the system as a Customer Order and contact you as soon as they arrive in......if we can tempt you with anything else,you know where we are!!

    Nicko,

    I'm not sure who around you are authorised stockists of The O'Neill range (or pricing) but if you drop us a PM with your contact numbers we have no problem delivering to you in Athlone.

    Keep us posted,
