    Cheaper at Amazon if you use anything other than collect at counter.

    Just found CCL's selling it on their eBay shop for £34.99 inc. P&P. How odd...

    Still a good spot, OP - especially if you live nearby.

    I do live nearby! Dropped the missus off at Ikea and picked these up :)

    Good spot on the ebay deal too, cheaper than going through their site if you want them delivered.

    Not a bad price, but I found these terrible. Returned mine within a week. Probably just me but can't stand virtual 5.1/7.1

    My mistake. Didn't realise these had six different speakers in the ear cups

    They don't, I was suggesting sticking with stereo and all of the usual directional cues.

    You could always flog the soundcard for £15ish and use them like a normal stereo headset.
