Sorry, wrote it late at night, yes I meant on the ear.

Hi, Getting fed up looking for suitable headphones - been over a year now and still can't find anything that meets my needs. Currently have Sennheiser 445's. Ok not a great sound but relatively comfy. So all I want from a new pair of over the ear headphones, sound apart, is: 1. Detachable...

This seems a popular choice amongst non enthusiasts: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TaoTronics-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Wireless/dp/B01J14SOMG/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t Not sure what enthusiasts go for. I personally find it very strange that no-one seems to design / intends wireless headphones for...

I've viewed it side by side with the LG e6V OLED. Personally I think it has the edge ovcer the OLED because the higher brightness makes the picture look more realistic with the higher dynamic range in the highlights. That said, I've just bought an LG OLED e6V because 58" was too big for my...

I would have thought the mention of the January sales and the fact that Oppo don't sell direct to the public, would have made it obvious I meant retailers. However, my apologies if that wasn't clear enough for you.

Who said anything about Oppo? It's quite likely that retailers will knock something off in the New Year Sales, and even if they don't then as waiting lists are satisfied and demand slows, the competiitive nature of electronics means some retailers will start to discount. It's more or less...

The reported UK price I saw somewhere was £599 at launch and there's been several stores taking advance orders. I'd imagine, after Christmas there might be a small price drop in the January sales or post pre-order sales. However, UK wise, that appears to be the ball park figure. Given the trade...

Found this from an Australian retailer - pre-orders for 15th December release plus spec release: http://www.mirandahifi.com/collections/frontpage/products/oppo-udp-203-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player

Must admit, don't know what you think of the remote, (maybe you'll be unable to comment), but I thought it was a real let down for such a high end product. I at least expected something with a metal skin and not just a lump of black plastic. I know it's only a small detail but for £600, you...

Ah OK so you are under an embargo. I understand then. Interestingly, there's a video out there from what appears to be an Oppo event at a castle that reveals some specs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbWi-8kiIhA

C'mon David, I presume there's not an embargo on info as they're already publising approximate specs and it's been on view at a trade show, so how about some info on loading times, and sound quality? We're all hanging on threads here.

http://www.whathifi.com/advice/ultra-hd-blu-ray-everything-you-need-to-know It would appear that capacity of UHD Blu Ray is twice the size of conventional BD-XL dual layer discs. ie 100GB However, there are several different disc sizes in both formats making comparison difficult. The best way...

*biggrin* As I've clearly been out manoevered I rephrase it. How long does a UHD Blu Ray take from insertion in the tray (with close tray / load / play pressed) to the usable menu / play state?

...and what's the disc loading times?

Yeah I just read that one. Pity they only stated it's using a special laser set up for fast disc loading without saying how fast. If anyone has an account over there, maybe they could ask the question. The one thing that would stop me byuying the Panasonic / Samsung offerings are the reported...
