Ah FFS.

Was hoping to hold off until at least tomorrow, but so far today, using the Alexa discounts I've ordered....
Firestick Pro
Echo Input
Echo Show 5 (Black)
Echo Show 5 (White)

Now these!

And I've a reminder for midnight tonight to check Amazon black Friday!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

Argh, Im holding out for a better price on the sony wh-1000xm3. These are a great price, but the noise cancelling is meant to be quite poor in comparison!

They are 230 in UK airports which is a good 20 quid lower than the lowest I've seen them on Amazon. I'd be expecting that price on BF at least.

Fairy nuff.

Blue are back up to £200.
Black still at £130.

Already did Chief.

And to be fair, nobody's bickering.

Mad not to throw in the order today and see what happens with the better ones tomorrow.

Just noticed something.

Place orders with Revolut, but with no money on the card.
Order gets accepted.
Payment is declined, but you've 5 days to update payment details before the order is cancelled.
So you can order in haste, and take your time deciding what you want to keep before topping up and paying.

Would these be better than the Bose QC35 2s ?

Or just freeze your card, I often do this on Amazon whilst making my mind up

Don’t fork out now, they’re back up to full price.

JIdontknow · 21-11-2019 8:01pm

The black ones are still showing for £129 it seems. Blue ones more expensive.

Soarer · 22-11-2019 10:08am

Both colours are back down in price now.

It is handy for commuting/office where if you want to block out noise without pumping the volume. Dunno about these ones but good ones should cut the volume of the background similar to ear plugs. Some also have an ambient mode which basically makes the headphones "transparent" so you can hear outside if you want (handy for talking to people without taking them off).
