I checked in the Guildford branch on Saturday afternoon but they didn't stock them. Fortunately my wife was at the Westfield shopping centre so I asked her to look. They had 4 pairs of X5's left for £79.99 so she picked up one for me.
Very impressed indeed with the sound quality, very open, clear & punchy. Huge improvement on my e2c's and cx300s!
Was very close to going for the S4's after reading the threads here for the last few months, but at that price I couldn't resist.
Buttles, Glad you're enjoying the X5s. Try putting some Shure Olives on them, it opened up the mids for me, cleaned up the bass even more and still kept it punchy, and they're more comfortable than the oval gels.
Ahhhhh.... whish id found about these earlier... hows the buds doing for you guys,.... a deal and a half i must say, and yes the hmv point should make you buy a few singles on disc or some extras for free afterwards
:O Thanks for mentioning this sale! I have to go in tomorrow and buy myself a pair of X10s...or should I go for the X5s? (I'll look and try and find them anyway, hope they're there)
When I heard of this I contacted the nearest branch only to find they weren't doing them and wouldn't arrange for a delivery from another branch.
Another miss for me, after I thought I was getting a pair of the $99 triple fis as well only to find the original buyer changed his mind and sold them to someone locally. No luck!
If only I lived further south where I could travel to other branches without clocking up hundreds of miles.
