Checkers Hyper currently has the UB+ Eupho E2 BT speakers on special for R1299 (need an Xtra Savings Store card). It looks very fancy with the legs installed (not sure whether these are included or not). They also have some discounts on Skullcandy and Sony earphones/headphones.

Review of the UB+ Eupho E2 aptX BT speaker

Damn, those speakers look cool!

With the legs, especially...
 
I think the short wooden legs might be included - you would have to ask them as all the boxes that I saw were still sealed ...

Ya. The short legs are less cool, to be sure! I guess you could still put them on a desk / table with the little leggies.
 
I also like the short legs. :)

You could also look at some of the Edifier speakers like the Luna Eclipse but the current price is R5500 which I hope is for a pair! I would really like to listen to the Euphos against the Luna Eclipse or even the Edifier R1700BT which is a similar price to a pair of Euphos. Edifier should have some good Black Friday deals on many of their speakers.

Damn, those Luna Eclipse look lovely! Currently R3999 (for two) on Takealot. Stands are another R2200, though :(
 
The Luna Eclipse is quite a bit more expensive if you also want the stands. I would really love to hear a sound test of the LE vs the Euphos. Z Reviews seems very impressed with the Luna Eclipses. They sound very impressive in his sound tests ...

Sound Tests (use decent headphones to get a better idea of how they sound). Check the Digital Stereophony YT channel for more comparisons.

The sound they produce is truly amazing and they look fantastic to boot. Bought a new pair on sale back in 2015 and forgot I had them stored for "one day". Used them when my office speakers gave the ghost. Was blown away. Best purchase ever - bang for buck.

What I find an issue on the edifice line is the crappy dac quality, do you use the optical or aux inputs?
 
Aquadyne said:
Optical.

I'm considering getting another set to use with some spare Chromecast Audio units I have.

The difference will be massive with the chrome cast, those are AKM dacs in those.

Keen to sell one?

Afraid not - they are precious due to their scarcity. I bought a few through Geewiz a little while ago. Perhaps reach out to them? Even though they do not list them currently... Sorry bud.

I already have, am trying my luck in case you don’t use all of them.

I see the anker charger is now showing out of stock for online orders.

Yep, because they only had a few and I bought one of the last ones. With the 64gb microsd it even went out of stock right after my order. Both orders arrived today. The istore does not play around! Sent overnight with RTT. I am like an excited teenager as this is my first "istore purchase".

Edit: The office thinks I am rolling in the $$$, to be buying from the istore.

I got the last one from the iStore at Sandton City. They told me that there were no more but as I was leaving the shop they managed to find one in the store room.

Same here. Just got mine about 2 weeks ago. Included power adapter/cable.

Power adapter and EU plug adapter as well.

Looks new. Set up and using to control bathroom lights to the pleasure of the kids.

Happiness at my saving.
