On a side note, what are those headphone like? Been looking to get some for a while but never know what to buy.
Sorry about the late reply, have had this sitting in my Evernote for a while and cba to finish it!

I'd say if you know how to play a relatively solid ABC/TAG strategy I'd check out the following texts in this order:
Ed Miller - How to read hands at NLH
Ed miller - playing the player
Doug Polk - Poker Plays You can Use
Ed miller - Pokers 1%
Matthew Janda - Applications of NLH.
All of them are very well-written, and have fundamentally changed my game in some form. None of them are overly mathy except for Janda's (although the content is broken down in a form such that it is very easy to work through).
I think people tend to give books a wide berth these days. Yes, the material can get somewhat dated (for example the harrington MTT books); however I think books have the advantage of forcing you to thoroughly understand the material, whereas with videos its very easy to get distracted. Paradoxically, I sometimes find videos can be really dry as well, whereas with books you can kind of superimpose your own voice if that makes sense.
And they're Bose QuietComfort 35s! The noise cancelling is sick yeah, im not a massive audiophile but the sound quality is decent I guess? I use them all the time on the train at work and would never go back to ear buds.
Whether or not they're good value for £350 depends on whether you want a good pair of headphones or not. In any case I use them all the time, so..buy them I guess?? : ) Apparently there's a Sennheiser pair out there that are better value, but I can't remember where sorry...
If you have any more questions about the books I recommended feel free to ask again!
