  1. Why does my headphone chord constantly get twisted? *sigh* I guess i have to go to the trouble of unplugging it again. #

    1. @pony Get some nice headphones with braided fabric cord. They'll last longer too

      1. @ceruleanspark How do I know whether mine is braided?

        Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:39:15 UTC from web
        1. @pony It'll feel like it's wrapped in fabric.

          1. @ceruleanspark hmm. cool! It sounds costly, but nice

            1. @pony They're not so bad. UrbanEars sit at a nice pricepoint in terms of quality and affordability.

              1. @ceruleanspark Urban Ears. Got it. I'll look into getting something with braided chord next time I buy headphones. I usually use mine until they break (so for years). I'm choosy about sound quality, but hadn't considered a different style of chord

                1. @pony Your headphones take years to break? Until I explicitly started shopping for braided-cord models or fancy ones with detatchable cords, mine lasted only months.

                  1. @ceruleanspark What do you _do_ to yours? I've had all except one (oddly enough, Sennheisers; the only really "expensive" ones I've had, though they were still only £30) of mine last much longer than that. :/

                    1. @bitshift I put one end in my ears and the other end in my zune. Somehow, they end up dropping out in one earpiece after 6 or so months. I got some Sennheiser in ears a couple years back that still work flawlessly, and my Marshall Minors are still going strong. My Beats have a replacable cable, and my Plattans are braided.

                      1. @ceruleanspark you have..... Dre Beats? http://ur1.ca/9gud9

                        Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:54:41 UTC from web
                        1. @purplephish20 I have the second most expensive type. (The first "tier" that actually sound good).

                          Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:55:49 UTC from web
                          1. @ceruleanspark oh right, I heard something about only the VERY best being any good, the second tier ones are apparently garbage

                            Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:57:12 UTC from web
                            1. @purplephish20 The in-ears are terrible, the "solos" are terrible. Then there's a £200 price jump, after which they start actually being good.

                              Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:57:55 UTC from web
                              1. @ceruleanspark Its the "heart beats" that make me want to grab a sharp thing and kill anyone and everyone everywhere

                                Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:59:56 UTC from web
                                1. @purplephish20 If y'all want amazing headphones for the price, check out http://www.urbanears.com/ I can vouch for the Medis and Plattan models as sounding wincredible.

                  2. @ceruleanspark I use these http://www.amazon.com/Koss-UR29-Collapsible-Portable-Headphones/dp/B0002BAU84

                    Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:52:13 UTC from web
                    1. @pony I (on occasion) use these: http://www.amazon.com/Koss-PortaPro-Headphones-with-Case/dp/B00001P4ZH/ref=pd_cp_e_3 from the same manufacturer.

                      Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:53:49 UTC from web
                      1. @ceruleanspark yeah. I like KOSS

                        Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:55:41 UTC from web
                        1. @pony The Porta Pros have an unlimited lifetime warranty on them, which indicates they believe in the product. I like that.

                          Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:57:02 UTC from web
                          1. @ceruleanspark very nice! I think mine came with some sort of warrantee. My last pair only broke cuz my wife yanked on them hard and the plastic snapped. I like my model for its noise cancelling, comfort, and easy volume control.

                            Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:00:16 UTC from web
                            1. @pony Yeah. The noise cancellation on my beats can (and has) drowned out the noise of a 747 in flight.

                              Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:01:45 UTC from web
                              1. @ceruleanspark that's some good noise cancellation

                                Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:06:33 UTC from web
                                1. @pony hay you

                                                  1. @cajunbrony23 I thought you and Rarity did "funny business."

                                                    Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:36:08 UTC from web

                                                      1. @cajunbrony23 I thought you were saying "neither do I," as in you don't clop and you're on your own too. Maybe I misunderstood. I'm only on my own cuz my wife's and my schedules have been conflicting lately.

                                                        Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:40:32 UTC from web

                  3. @ceruleanspark I managed to break four pairs of crappy Apple earbuds this school year.

                    1. @redenchilada That you actually replaced your crappy apple headphones is amusing
