PX 100-II's

Ok, personally if headphones don't physically fit on to your head and the box does not describe the measurements, that to me is not fit for purpose. I may well be wrong in law but again it's a moral thing, they didn't put on the box "will not fit heads with an ear ot ear measurement greater than x" (yes, i'm being big-headed, ha ha very funny)

Fair enough, your morals are you own; but don't expect others to agree with your definition of 'fit for purpose', because for one the law doesn't!

Anyway twice the price on the high-street is hardly outrageous, do you not get out much? ;-) I've seen goods at ten times as much (and more) at brick and mortar stores compared to Internet based. You'd be better complaining about them!

I know they can legally, but I can legally do many things I would consider morally wrong. Equally many things I might like to do becuase they are morally right might be legally wrong. I could get into trouble if I tried to offer first aid to someone and they died, even if they would have died without my help. Morally i did the right thing, legally I did the wrong thing. The law is NOT based on morals.

You seem to use this word a lot do you actually know what it means?

A couple more words you might find more useful 'Common Sense' it seems to be seriously lacking on these boards sometimes.

Yes, i've seen things that are £1 on the internet and £10 in a shop but that's only an absolute increase of £10, not £25.

Then perhaps the law needs to change? I've always admired the sheer hypocrisy of a government that panders to the rich and powerful / is composed of the rich and powerful and yet still calls itself OUR government.

The minute they get a socilist/communist country running properly, im leaving. Admittedly it will be riding on the back of a flying pig, but you never know...

@cyberbob - Yes, I understand morally. As for the other, my mother always said I had no common sense...

I am certainly one of these people who maintains a company blacklist. Once a company gets on my list the only way to get off is for them to make right what was done wrong. Not many companies are on my list yet, but I am quite young. Admittedly Tesco would probably be split into two sections, being so big...

Oh skellious. As you're so young, you should be partying not maintaining some spreadsheet of blacklisted companies like some kind of customer-services nazi-geek!

skellious

hey it's in my head, not on a computer :P

But I am a bit of a geek, I admit... But I do get out a lot, was in brighton just the other day, "partying" :P

!!!!!!??? I'm guessing they are actually head-shaped and not shaped like a penis or something. In which case, they're fit for purpose.

skellious, I applaud you and your socilist [sic] views, truly I do. But you do sound a little bit demented.

skellious

they are ones that wrap round the back of your head, they are not adjustable and so you cannot get them far enougth to put over your ears if you have a big head. I can't link to the design as im a new user so can't post the link.

Basically they have two headphones connected by a piece of plastic which runs behind your head, not over the top as normal.

If the plastic bit is not long enougth, you can't get them over your ears.

Perhaps someone who knows what I mean can link to them.

Where did you see them listed at £16?? I have checked and Argos only sell the PX100's not the PX100-II's.

The price on the net seems to range from £32-45.

And anyway skellious, if you support the socialist/communist view of society shouldn't your trade be limited to swapping sheep and knitting your own face or something. Not pandering to the pricing policies of Tesco (which surely is the epitome of capitalist enterprise). You remind me of Rick from The Young Ones.
