Are the Sennheiser 598 SRs worth it at £79.99? Audio quality is important but I'm even more concerned with comfort, I've got a big head and most headphones are horrible to wear for me.

I don't have the 598s but I've got a head like an ogre (and ears to match) and always end up with Sennheiser over-ears for comfort. I'd hope they'd be good for you.

I have many headphones (Grado, Audio-Technica, AKG, Superlux, Koss etc) and I can say that these are the most comfortable. I have a big head and sticky-out ears, and there is a always real danger that I'll forget that I'm wearing them and cause damage by walking away and having them yanked off by the cable. They sound very nice also, but some might find them a little bass-light depending on what they are listening to.

Agree with freakie. I don't have a large head (at least I don't think so!) but the 598s are without a doubt the most comfortable headphones I own. Great soundstage too - very open though, yes, a little bass-shy. I paid £99 a couple of years ago during black friday and never regretted them so £80 is definitely a good price.
Just in case they sell out make sure that you go with the open 'S' edition as the closed ones are crap (I own both).

Have had an eye out for a 55/65 inch new 4k HDR tv for a while now...see there's a Sony XE85 further down the list; don't know how well rated that is but might be worth a look, any further comments welcome

Wait for the xe90 to go down - direct lit LED is notably better than edge lit. I switched to the xe90 from the plasma and was pleasantly surprised by the black level.

I use Amazon on a weekly basis sometimes more often but I have to say that all their Black Friday, Bank Holiday and other deals have been absolutely crap. Cant imagine this one will be any better. Take a look on HUKD and youll find plenty of 50% off deals. How often do you get that sort of discount on Amazon if ever.

So true. Though I don't see anything changing because, as you said, you (and I and so many others) still shop there weekly. It's just so easy to shop with them.

Yep ShortyRees like you I use Amazon for convenience. They can get me a delivery the next day instead of waiting days for Ebay and others. They are so mean tho. They make billions every year and yet their sales are often items that have been hiked up in price weeks before then to be reduced for their so called sales. This has been reported in the national press several times. Amazon could afford to give 50% off everything on their website and still make a profit. Instead they scam us with false sales with only the occasional so called bargain. Worse than that people buy into this, currently trending at 1419 on here .....but how.

Camelcamelcamel is a fantastic resource as you can check just how good a 'deal' is before buying. You're right but it's the same with every single company out there and Amazon are often the cheapest, as much as I hate lining their pockets!
Had to return a Sony tv like that cause the speakers were so bad

Be careful with Sony TVs. We bought a 'smart' TV recently which has iPlayer and My 5, but no ITV Hub and no More 4. Sony have no plans to include these services.

They should list that on the box as a feature.

Is it an Android TV like my Sony from 2 years ago? If so just download the apps from the Play Store on your TV...
