# I'm not sure they sold CDs

# Dear Lord
I don't think even people tripping on overpriced coffee are daft enough to buy Dr Dre headphones, which so far as I can tell are mushily bass-heavy headphones whose parts cost about six quid, sold for £120.

Maybe the coffee shop will flog off some iPods.

Actually I was in that HMV perhaps a year back, I don't remember a coffee shop :( It might have made the experience slightly more pleasant because it was a horrible place to be otherwise.

# they moved it, it's not in the main shopping centre any more, it's over by the Grafton shit hole

# Oh, right. Shows how recently I've been in Cambridge
Thinking about it it might even be two years.

# Which was a stupid decision on HMV's part.
The Grafton Centre is, as you say, a hole. I prefer going to the Fopp now instead, even though it's much smaller. I'm sure they're missing out on custom by no longer being in Lion Yard.

They're fantastic headphones, albeit somewhat pricey. Call me old-fashioned but I quite like headphones with pretty much a flat response.

Don't have a famous name on them though.

Apparently the Motorhead phones are pretty good.
