I just bought some Shure earbuds cause I got fed up with the sound quality of the Sony ones I've been using with my iPod.

One of the things I've noticed lately, perhaps because of my increasingly old age, or that I'm starting to get more demanding about my purchases, is that the packaging on these type of things is impossible to open without scissors or knives, and even then, it's terribly difficult to get at your merchandise.

To me, your merchandise should be like Anx or a org female--just barely sufficiently packaged, with extreme ease of access, you know what I mean? I almost tore up my hands trying to get that shit out of it's case.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Its the same with Edam cheese.

tell me about it. I think the next time I sever an artery trying to open one of these things, I'm gonna send them my medical bills...

i don't like sharing a category with edam cheese.

oh, god. now it's official. i'm done with this stank ass thread. i'm going over to lurk in the "i've got a crush on obama" thread, it's gotta be better than this.

but what do you think of the earbuds?...

Tom said:

They're great.

I like the Bose a bit more though. The Bose earplugs are a bit cheaper and have a bit more bass. I'm told Shure has more "precise" sounds but I can't tell.

Definitely better than the damned Sony ear buds.

Imago said:

Did you get the e2c's or the e3c's? I had the e2c's for like a day and took em back and upgraded, lol. They are kind of modest on bass, but the e2c's had like NO bass at all. They make a higher end model that costs even more($500+) that's supposed to have even better bass.

$200+ on in-ear headphones is just silly.

Speaking of packaging, white or light gray. I like those colors.

Imago said:

Speaking of you getting cut trying to get into a package...

Fauxie said:

Speaking of expensive merchandise you insert into holes in your head.

Are we talking about ear buds?



I never know how to keep up with threads that bounce between talk of cock and ass along with general household products, or mechanical merchandise faster than flashes from pulsars, and with more ferocity than a Bangkok hooker at a dick buffett.

Imago said:

Were we ever talking about ear buds?

I've picked up this habit of automatically replacing the most prominent word in your initial posts with either 'dick' or 'ass'.

Fauxie said:

oh damn


I bet it actually works though

Most of the time, though it can lead to some weird orgnoting sessions.
