  I’m not entering because I’ve some great beats ear buds and I also don’t need to ebay competition prizes, good luck to the genuine entrants.

  • Gordon says:

    5 Mar5 March 09:07

    Everyone Is a Genuine entrant as the competition is aimed at “Hfp” readers?.

    • Richie says:

      5 Mar5 March 09:15

      You’re an ebay punter Gordon, not someone who would genuinely enjoy the prize.

      • Gordon says:

        5 Mar5 March 09:36

        My point was that everyone is a genuine entrant irrespective of if you appreciate the prize or not….

        • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

          5 Mar5 March 10:03

          If you don’t appreciate the prize then don’t enter.

          If you entering just to resell then IMHO your not making a genuine entry.

        • Gordon says:

          BA Flyer IHG Stayer, As you say that’s just your opinion, I don’t see anything in the T&C’s about what you do with the prize if won, I used eBay a term of phrase they would go to my granddaughter, Also I doubt the majority of readers would not really need them as in the last hfp pole Rob carried out most of the subscribers earned in excess of 75k pa, So they could easily afford a better listening device….

    Beats and great in the same sentence, is this a cry for help…

    • Richie says:

      5 Mar5 March 09:23

      No, they’re great because they suit my needs at the moment, I’ve fingers crossed that my work phone ceases to be Android very soon.

    • dougzz99 says:

      Beats are the perfect example of style over substance. Over priced before Apple bought them, proof of just how valuable branding can be.

• Marc says:

  For some reason it is asking me to confirm that my iCloud email address is valid by logging in via social media? This seems a little unnecessary

  • David says:

    5 Mar5 March 09:28

    You must have entered a previous competition using the Gleam tool, using the same email address and either been signed into a social media account, or taken an action in a social media account to get more entries (e.g. follow us on instagram to get another 3 entries, etc).
    Once you have done that once with Gleam they then want you to use a social media account login in the future.
    You should be able to follow the options to recover your gleam account via email, which will let you enter without the social media bit, but the next time it sees one this will repeat.

• Mark says:

  5 Mar5 March 09:10

  Has anyone else tried entering and it says it needs to “verify you are a genuine person” with a social media login?

  Sorry, no, ask me to pick bridges in images (captcha) if you need to verify me, but you’re not getting my social details… Why on earth (or in the sky) is this a requirement?

  • Hardpack says:

    5 Mar5 March 09:13

    I’m not on any social media and was able to enter just with name and email

      • Mark says:

        5 Mar5 March 09:24

        Ok thanks, seems it’s not for everyone then, but does unfortunately mean I can’t (won’t) enter – good luck to you!

  I’m flying QR out of London tomorrow, does the new Frequent Flyer lounge have showers?

  • Chabuddy Geezy says:

    5 Mar5 March 11:51

    Yes, I think one shower each for male and female.

• Peter K says:

  Thanks for the competition Rob & team.

    Tbh I don’t know why Rob bothers with these competitions, the associated aggro and entitled whinging about the prizes and whether you can enter from abroad or not..he should have just donated the equivalent to charity and be done with it

    • Nick says:

      Crazy, isn’t it! Probably something to do with the sense of entitlement we have in society today! I’m in my sixties and it never fails to amaze me how some people today can moan and criticise about something they could win for nought! As you say. I don’t know why Rob bothers!

    • VerdantBacon says:

      5 Mar5 March 12:01

      It wouldn’t be HfP without the active commentators and posters whinging about something. People here have a fantastic ability to complain about anything.

      I don’t usually read the comments or forums anymore as it’s devolved to absolute drivel, but I just knew HfP giving something away for free would have a very entertaining comments section

      • Mike Hunt says:

        5 Mar5 March 12:26

        Perhaps give two entities to holders of Plat Amex and three entities to Centurion card holders would help

        • Mike Hunt says:

          5 Mar5 March 12:26

          Oh I mean enteries !

    • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

      5 Mar5 March 12:29

      3,700 + entries at the time I type this shows a grid level of interest.

      Even if Rob donated them they’d still be whinging about where he donated them to!

      I’m sure he tunes out most of the moaning!

      • Nick says:

        5 Mar5 March 13:00

        Indeed! As with many great websites, as HfP clearly is, which was started by someone with a vision, they often start off with a small audience, in a very pleasant way, with the vast majority of posters contributing to the overall site, and, usually, posting helpful comments & advice for others.

        Unfortunately, as is also often the case, many of the ‘later’ contributors, either have no comprehension, whatsoever, on their own little planet, of what running a small business entails, and/or just like to moan & whinge, because it’s probably, just part of the ethos of some people in society today!

        IMHO, just continue as you do Rob, as this is a great, growing site, and just ignore the pointless idiots!

        • JDB says:

          5 Mar5 March 14:31

          @Nick – so right! The sense of entitlement, constant expectations of something for nothing, complete lack of understanding about business and people wanting someone to blame/compensate them if anything goes wrong for when they aren’t remotely ‘victims’ and have contributed to the problem is quite extraordinary. One can only assume they aren’t in very responsible jobs.

          It’s been very instructive being in Argentina where people long ago gave up relying on the state or anyone else to help them / look after them. As a result people are just so much more resilient, entrepreneurial and resourceful and have a good lifestyle even if the country is completely bankrupt.

  I’ve got some AirPods Pro, they unfortunately fall out of my ears easily, and I walk areas where I won’t be able to retrieve them if they fall out at the worst time

  So for that reason I won’t be bothering entering, plus I don’t need any more headphones

  It’s a shame Apple don’t cater much to people who need over-ear headphones, apart from one option that’s incredibly overpriced, even someone at Apple support team said ‘even if I was a millionaire I’d think twice about buying those (AirPods Pro Max)’

  • Save East Coast Rewards says:

    AirPods Pro come with different sized pieces to fit different ear sizes.

  • tony says:

    5 Mar5 March 10:29

    Easy. Just buy yourself an earbud lanyard strap which sells on Amazon for about £6 and has the brilliant ability to make your £200 Airpods look just like the free wired earbuds that you get with a phone for free when you buy it. (Honestly, I’m not making this up….)

    • TGLoyalty says:

      5 Mar5 March 11:15

      Full circle.

  • dougzz99 says:

    5 Mar5 March 11:00

    Possibly because if you’re serious about sound, noise cancelling or other aspects of over ear headphones you’re looking at Bose, Sony and Sennheiser not products based around a cult like branding operation.

    • TGLoyalty says:

      5 Mar5 March 11:17

      Seriously the Pro 2 are actually brilliant have and do own many different high end earbuds and headphones

      If they’re falling out of your ears you have the wrong bud attachments on.

      • dougzz99 says:

        6 Mar6 March 09:43

        That’s the thing about a cult, when they’ve got you on the inside you don’t even know.

  • S says:

    5 Mar5 March 14:17

    Try Comply foam tips for the Pros from Amazon, much more secure.

    I was able to get my Max for about £280 and for me they’re worth that all day long. At RRP I’m not so convinced

• tw33ty says:

  I bought a pair of nothing ear 1 wireless headphones, found them to be great for the price

  Well these comments are a barrel of laughs.
