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.
Especially awesome for those of us who are at least a little ways away from civilization.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

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! -
Man, how do you think I feel? I had no intentions of buying anything this weekend....so much other stuff going on. Then someone drops the TV and the cans on me and now I'm bothered. It's my duty to put pressure on someone else. LOL!=Thanks a lot buster...

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 -
