New headphones

mike4scuba · 14 Oct 20, 03:40 AM

Was looking at a new pair of headphones for everyday use and for my next flight when ever that may be
I liked the look of the new Samsung bud live but at �179 retail wasn't thrilled in spending that much.

Looked on Amazon today and they are at �129.98 so was ready to bite and found a way to get an extra �10 off
If you top up your Amazon gift card by �100 they give you a free �10 making it �110
So have ordered them at �119.98
Offer ends today so be quick

Thanks for the heads up on the top up offer. I just have missed that somehow. Just claimed it.

Wonder why Samsung give 2 years warranty on their garbage but the apple iPhone and iPad only get a 1 year warranty. Which is the same as a lot of other manufacturers.

Bit annoying when the iPhone packs up after 13 months of a 2 year phone contract

I do believe that if you take out a 2 year phone contract the phone should have a warranty for the equal amount of time

Also the earbuds in question are manufactured by akg which is owned by samsung

Samsung produce most of the memory and processors for smart phones, TVs and computers now so without it no tech

Just my opinion 🙂

Almost everything you buy in the EU (and UK at last until the end of the year) has to be returnable int he first two years if it is faulty or can�t do what it was bought for regardless of what they may or may not advertise.

Not my opinion but fact

I am not generally an apple fan but their stuff is far better made and designed than Samsung, look at a MacBook Air against an equivalent Samsung notebook and I have had birth.

I have an iMac and I agree they are well made and thought out.
I also have a note 10+ 5g and think it's a great phone.

Maybe apple need to aware of the 2 year warranty

Apple can write whatever they like they still have to cover their goods for 2 years It is the law. I explained this to them and they replaced an 18 month old iPad.

I got the Galaxy Buds when I got my phone and they are brilliant. The sound quality is really good for the price and I've had no issues at all. The battery still lasts quite a long time.
