Menu options added at the top

I added a trio of menu options at the top of the blog (the black navigation bar) to make it easier to quickly filter through things. The options will increase over time. I can only post the categories that already exist, so the more deals get added, the more manufacturers will be added to that list.

The three new menu options are:

  • HEADPHONE TYPES: Over and On Ear (one category), In-Ears, Earbuds, Bluetooth (and will add ANC and others later on), Amps and DACs (one category for now to keep things simple). Some deal-posts will be in multiple categories if they mention products that fall into multiple categories
  • MANUFACTURERS: a lot more will be added as more deals get posted – I can only include the ones that have deals posted, if I put placeholders, you’ll be seeing empty pages, and that’s not fun
  • AUDIOPHILE: it is tricky to define scope on this one. I’m doing it by ear (ha!) and by gut feeling for now. If you have strong opinions on what should be included/excluded please leave a comment or use the contact form
