I summon the mighty Spanish Waffle for some headphone advice
=P

Basically, I want some new headphones, bluetooth ones (wireless obviously lol). Budget = £30 or under. I can stretch to 35 quid but 40 is a bit too far. Also, the headband thingy, must be a proper headband, not one of those flimsy type, which I had before (God, I hated them -.-).
I was thinking this.

Any other suggestions or are those fine?

Gotta say, I really can't find anything worth suggesting in this price range I can't find any reviews of that manufacturer at any reputable source and can't find anything from more established manufacturers at such a low price range, the cheapest I can find that come well recommended are the Jaybird Sportsband which can be found from around £70. Those ones will do the job well enough, but I wouldn't expect anything particularly groundbreaking from them!

Only next to other games consoles. As far as design quality goes, the bar is pretty low in the console market.

Yeah that's a fair point

The tablet itself looks nice. I'm guessing it means the original Microsoft Surface brick is now dead in the water?

Oh dear, "PixelSense"? Someone needs to fire the whole of the Microsoft BrandImagine department.

I really could see the Surface Pro being my next laptop, it looks so nice!

The Surface looks amazing, one of the few things I can see myself using as a primary device that doesn't run OS X. If it's competitively priced then I'll certainly be considering it as a future purchase! It'll have to wait until I've worked my way through my checklist of my planned desktop setup though.

On that note, are there any particularly good deals floating around for 1080p monitors that anyone's aware of? I'm looking for a pair, around the 22" mark, preferably with HDMI input.

Took the plunge and put in my preorder for a Leap today, can't wait for that to launch.

The BenQ 24" is £115 here: http://www.ebuyer.com/169099-benq-g2...r-9h-l3alb-qbe

Or the LG IPS 22" for about the same price on amazon

Thanks for the suggestions. Any experience with BenQ as a manufacturer? I've never heard of them before.

Just put together a rough price for my setup, it's going to cost me about £400 assuming I can sell off my MBP and speakers. I've never been so eager to get back to work

BenQ are pretty reputable. What is this £400 buying exactly?

I'd be looking to get some secondhand Dell U2311H IPS monitors. They're not LED and don't have an HDMI (but I use an HDMI->DVI cable), but they're simply stunningly well made monitors. You can easily find them for £110-120 all over the place secondhand.

Oh I remember when you used to put "Don't tell me to google it" in every single one of your threads...

Good to hear, thanks. My current checklist is:

Entry Level Mac Mini (£476)
8GB Crucial RAM (£35)
Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Speakers x2 (£100)
Onkyo Speaker Amp (£140)
1080p monitors x 2 (£240)

I've got somebody who might be interested in buying my MBP for £500 so that knocks out the first two items and my brother's buying my current iPod dock for £60. Knock off another £20 from Amazon credit and it comes to about £400.

So no source then ..... well done.

Needless to say, I did use Google prior to posting, but failed to find what prompted you to post "It has better specs by far!"

Good to see that your posts are as useless as ever ....

I am intrigued to know what you are up to here?
A general use pc?
A home entertainment system?
A second pc set up for a study?


(apologies is detailed already in an earlier post)

Pretty much all of the above. It'll be my primary computer for work and home use, as well as being an entertainment system with the Mac Mini feeding into a USB DAC and then into the amp/speakers.

The touch mouse is pretty swish too.

This was in response to MS style.. didn't realise there was another page to the thread
