We are in quite the interesting time period. Imagine going back in time to the 50's and telling someone that you can pay for a record that's half way around the world and without ever leaving your house/apartment it will show up on your doorstep.

I don't think we are getting anything. Last year was the tv and some clothes. This year, might pick up a bogo free massage at a spa for my wife. But this year nothing really out there that we need or want

Bought a 24" 720p Samsung TV for my office, to replace an old reliable 9" Zenith, that still works great. Not a real super BF special but $119.00. Out for delivery says tracking.

Dan, you know I've been eying the Wharfedale Denton bookies. I can't stop looking at them, so I think I'm going to order a pair tomorrow. If I wait until they're sold out I know I'll regret it and I don't want that to happen. I'm enjoying the Boston Acoustics M25 and I'm anxious to compare them to the Dentons.
I love this guy's photo, so I borrowed it...
Your killing me Rick!
Those Dentons may just be CHRISTMAS to myself lol....
But I really like the ushers and only one can leave the thunder dome

I'm not seeing them on BB's website. There's only a brown pair that is sold out at $159.
I too have the ones at $99 sitting in my Amazon cart...waiting for me to pull the trigger.
I scored "X-Men: Days of Future Past - Rogue Edition" for $3.99 and Captain America- Civil War for $7.99, both on Blu Ray.No excuses! -

I guess the cans are supposed to be Amazon only special editions: https://www.facebook.com/SennheiserIndia/posts/1289341434411316:0
One guy noted some changes compared to the regular versions:

I have talked to the (Marketing Head - Sennheiser India), he has confirmed the Amazon.in deal is indeed genuine and an Amazon exclusive. I have already purchased one for myself. If you want to contact me, Whatsapp +91-9910623813.

Received my pair. Probably the first one in the world. smily_headphones1.gif
Compared to HD 598 regular:
Bass: More in qty. much tighter.
Treble: More in qty. lusher.
Mids: Even more forward. Clearer.
V shaped with forward mids. Exactly like RS 180 and Aktimate Mini+.
Worth INR 19k. At 7k it is a no brainer.
Goes louder than HD 598. But not as comfortable.
Must Buy For All

My wife bought me the SVS SB12nsd today I'm stoked to get it in!
-
Not only that, I jokingly sent it to her the ad like a week ago saying I need this. She thought it was a Black Friday only not a limited flash sale and today they were sold out. Talked the SVS guy into double checking, he found a cancelled order and sold it to her even though it wasn't even back in inventory yet. Killer customer service and wife haha. -

I didn't buy a hard drive
I did buy the dremel ultimate 3 piece kit. It makes noise so I guess it is audio related.Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

I was going to get this for black Friday and save 100 bucks but couldn't wait, good thing though, it sold out right after I got it and has not been back in stock since. I guess they are having a hard time keeping those Morel drivers in stock.

I ended up getting the cans...at 11:50pm.
The pair I have are pretty beat, and they are Sennheiser and they were $60 at Walmart 7 years ago and I like them.
Seems like a no brainer to drop a hundy on a brand I like at a big discount.
Thanks for the gentle nudges everyone...lol!!!2 ChannelTurntable - VPI Classic 2/Ortofon 2M BlueAmplification - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Parks Audio Budgie PhonoSpeakers - GoldenEar Triton 17.2 Home TheaterDenon AVR-X3300W; Rotel RMB-1066; Klipsch RP-280F's, Klipsch RP-450C, Polk FXi3's, Polk RC60i; Dual SVS PB 2000's; BenQ HT2050; Elite Screens 120"Man CaveTurntable - Pro-Ject 2.9 Wood/Grado GoldAmplification - Dared SL2000a, McCormack DNA 0.5 DeluxeCD: Cambridge AudioSpeakers - Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary; LSiM 703; SDA 2A -
