Took the remaining 3 sets which normally retail at around 40euro!. Had bought a paid of them on amazon a few months back and happy with them although they tend to fall out of my ears more than previous pairs,think i need to change size earbuds. Anyway anyone near a tesco stocking these should check it out.

Nothing in Jervis, girl in Parnell said they hadn't got the offer to start with. May have a gander in Wicklow town, but if someone could check, they'd save me a detour.

None in Maynooth; might save someone a trip. But 36x330ml cans of Budweiser for €20 eased the pain somewhat.

Its all a joke i didnt buy any in clarehall(there werent any there id say clearwater ere just selling off old stock)
The irony was lost on some of you:eek:
The op said he had found a bargain and bought them all up
Didnt seem like much of a bargain if there was none left to me and thought id post about it
I apologise if some of you didnt find it funny

Had a super quick look the electronics aisle in tesco s.c. in Roxboro, Limerick. Couldnt see any of the OP's headphones but that place is a mess so they might have been somewhere else if at all.

None of the model listed in the op in the local store but I checked a few of the other sony headphones there and the Sony MDR EX 77 set are listed on the shelf as €55 but scanned on the price checker for €20. (play.com has them for €23).

Was actually interested in buying one and just chanced checking price before I bought it, given the stories I've read here. Just thought I'd pass info on. I don't go aroung fastidiously checking all electrical equipment in Tesco.

LOL I was just wondering. I wonder if any other shop has them. Tesco's stock seems to vary enormously from store to store.

Xray power obviously. A correction on my previous post, the model reference is actually mdrex77lbp (something like that). I think that set online is well less than €20, nevermind €55.
