headphones

[SnoMan]

i just recieved my new headphones today, it is my FIRST set of headphones ever for my computer and i must say i LOVE them. so i recommend the Zalman 5.1's for anyone that wants to know.

That's a type I'm thinking of getting.

Just waiting for a reply from Razer - I asked them why their Barracudas were so expensive in the UK, compared to the US - hopefully my considerable influence will prompt them to completely rethink their pricing structure

 

[FarFarAway]

I have them and they're pretty good, especially for the price

Cool

I ordered some Speedlink Medusa's yesterday.

Was looking at the Zalman's, but the Medusa's seemed more finished and I liked the idea of the amp/pass-thru.

While the meds are better, you pay for it. The zalmans are a quality piece of kit.

I think that's why I was looking at the Zalmans because they seemed quite cheap (£35) but I got the medusa's with amp etc for £41 inc postage.

Did you enter their raffle?

If you already bought a set i think they reimburse you for their cost.

Looks like that's in america only?

Is that not a type of pyramid scheme?

Basically everyone (25 people) pays $5 for a 1 in 25 chance to win a set.

I didnt see anywhere that said limited to USA residents ..

All of the people who have won were in the USA

Not sure if it is USA only, but it is on the USA site. Couldn't find it on the UK one.

You pay $5 and have a 1/25 chance of winning? (4%?)

Seems a bit of a pyramid thing, I'm surprised they can do that, thought most pyramid schemes online were outlawed?

 

[markkleb]

we seem to be looking at this differently, to me its worth it to pay $5 for a 1 in 25 chance at the headphones.

They also state if you have already bought the home edition set and you win they will refund $125 (25 X $5) to your acct.

A pyramid scheme suggests fraud, This looks like they are being very honest and upfront and giving those of us that cant pay the full price to pay a chance to win them instead.
