[London Drugs] PONO Music Player London Drugs Clearance $149.00

Deal Link:: https://www.londondrugs.com/pono-hi-res ... 04885.html
Price:: 149.00
Retailer:: London Drugs

Pono Music Player $149 Clearance at London Drugs - Not Available For Shipping

Store price is still $249.00 but it is available for online purchase with pickup in store at stores with stock.

I realize that this deal will be limited to those with a London Drugs close by that has inventory.

This player works fine but there is no further support and the PONO store is done.

interesting take on why he thinks it failed

Looks like you can flip it on Ebay if you don't like it and possibly not lose too much $

I feel bad for Neil. He meant well, this is just a terrible idea.

Certainly not something I would buy, even at the clearance price point. But it is out of stock, so someone did.

I remember reading somewhere this one is false advertising. For the price back then you can get authentic hi res player.

I am very big on audio and spend years reading stuff. Currently use the fiio x5 3rd at work. It's pretty good.

Now this reveals its true value lol at 150 probably still making money.

Agreed.
Plus, I prefer the experience of vinyl, even if it is technically & audibly inferior.

Niel is quite cool but man.... why would someone have the idea to have a triangular player for a portable device. Hi-Fi doesn't have to be uncomfortable.
