    Have you been saving up to buy headphones with a bling ? Today is the day you can go shopping. Let me introduce you to the deal of the year. Only 5 grand for them earphones : HiFiMAN HE-1000V2 + AURALiC Gemini 2000 Bundle

    Screw saving for property, with the cost of headphones these days the millenials need to save up even for some headphones :p

    Sheesh! Thems some bling for listening to bangers.

    Alternately people could just listen to the world around them? It's safer. I just don't get the need for to people shut themselves off from the world EVERY time they step outside their door.

    Damn it! I'm officially getting old. :p

    Absolute bargain - at that price I'll shout my whole family (to a house deposit).

    As a part of getting older the range of frequencies I can hear has reduced substantially. So headphones which have a fantastic range aren't very useful to me.

    The Jabra Elite sport earbuds, which are wireless, cordless and measure heart rate, have been on my wish list for a while, but not keen on the $329 price tag..

    You could plug them into your diamond encrusted iPod using Gold-plated Monster cables and Marvel at how, despite not sounding any different, you'll look FABULOUS!

    That's more than my car! :eek:

    My last headphones are Philips from the DSE going out of business sale. I think they were $25. They sound great to me! :cool:

    Yeah but you are saving like over 2k with that sale price!

    My headphones are my playstation ones I use for gaming $150. They are super big and nerdy looking. But I still use them in public :)
