no forms to fill in, no nothing. Just a quick e-mail from Jamie (no Mr big bollocks), just Jamie. I don't even think their was a problem with the original power pack, it's just that it was purchased in the US and our power supplies differ. Get one.

What, no

"Dear Mr McEvoy,
Many thanks for your e-mail. How are you doing today? I have absolutely no clue how to help you but I'm going to write a really long-winded and sycophantic e-mail anyway just to waste some of your precious time so you can't get away to listen to your iPod and tell us once more how much it sucks. We are really pleased to be able to talk to you as we have no actual friends. What was I writing about again? Oh yes. No-one will help you but we'll send your original product back to you without having done anything at all. How does that suit you? Please have a free firmware upgrade that will ruin your shiny product and your day all in one, on us, all for free. Have a nice day "

Bloody hell. I'm glad I had no call to upgrade. Does it (technically) actually offer anything (apart from a larger memory and different aesthetics) over my 5G Video iPod?

Bose® around-ear headphones answer the call for smooth, high-performance sound in a lightweight package. Hear a greater range of music whether you are plugged into a computer or on the go with a portable media device.

The 6G technically no different to a touch or a 5G except for cover flow and a different type of material. Space is the same except for the 160GB drive and that's it, and battery life improved by a couple of hours.

It does use different hardware (an utterly-cheap audio chip) which has worse sound. Don't buy one...you'll be sorely disappointed.

Anyway...I do like these from Bose (and the support is pretty good):

I had a pair of Tri-Ports for Bose (£70!!) and they are absolutely shit. I have a new pair if CX300's in the post as we speak

The quality of your life increased a lot after receiving those...but you already knew of course..

yup i've been dead without them. The Bose dock has filled a gap but it ain't portable. The CX's piss all over the Tri-ports and cost 4 times less

they are stunning indeed and nothing comes close for the price. I can even confirm you can ski in them no bother
