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

@pony Get some nice headphones with braided fabric cord. They'll last longer too
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:36:31 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark How do I know whether mine is braided?
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:39:15 UTC from web-
@pony It'll feel like it's wrapped in fabric.
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:39:53 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark hmm. cool! It sounds costly, but nice
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:40:28 UTC from web-
@pony They're not so bad. UrbanEars sit at a nice pricepoint in terms of quality and affordability.
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:43:02 UTC from web-
@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
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:46:32 UTC from web-
@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.
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:48:35 UTC from web-
@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. :/
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:50:58 UTC from web-
@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.
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:53:01 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark you have..... Dre Beats? http://ur1.ca/9gud9
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:54:41 UTC from web-
@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-
@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-
@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-
@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-
@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.

@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-
@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-
@ceruleanspark yeah. I like KOSS
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:55:41 UTC from web-
@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-
@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-
@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-
@ceruleanspark that's some good noise cancellation
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:06:33 UTC from web-
@pony hay you
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:06:58 UTC from web-
@cajunbrony23 howdy!
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:07:46 UTC from web-
@pony how are you?
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:13:09 UTC from web-
@cajunbrony23 I'm alright. In one of those moods where, well... http://ur1.ca/9gugh
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:18:52 UTC from web-
@pony oh my

@pony well good luck with that
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:28:51 UTC from web-
@cajunbrony23 *sigh* yeah I'm on my own and I don't clop so I'm a little bit stuck.
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:31:11 UTC from web-
@pony lol nether do yet I make jokes about Rarity and I XD
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:32:56 UTC from web-
@cajunbrony23 I thought you and Rarity did "funny business."
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:36:08 UTC from web-
@pony we do, but thats out of love, not like that stupid high scholl "lol lets do it" "klol"
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:37:47 UTC from web-
@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-
@pony no no, I dont clop, I just make clop jokes XD
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:41:54 UTC from web-
@cajunbrony23 I should stop asking questions.. ^_^
Friday, 08-Jun-12 23:47:59 UTC from web-
@pony nha your fine :)

@ceruleanspark I managed to break four pairs of crappy Apple earbuds this school year.
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:54:22 UTC from web-
@redenchilada That you actually replaced your crappy apple headphones is amusing
Friday, 08-Jun-12 22:56:16 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark My mom keeps getting extras. I just use hers.
