The off topic thread

[elhadjihenry]

Anybody got a good recommendation for in earphones or headphones? Mine broke last night and I am currently stuck with the shitty iPhone ones.

Was thinking of Beats - does anybody have them/used them in the past?

I've got a pair of the Beats Studio (the entry level ones I think) which are pretty good. Depends if you want them for commuting or not? I prefer in-ear ones for commuting rather than over-ear so I can actually hear whats going on around me (train announcements, cars about to hit me etc). I generally just buy a pair of sennheiser ones for about $30 and they last a year or two before breaking, then buy a new pair.

I want to get those beats headphones, where is the cheapest place? JB has them and they're pretty expensive.

They were selling them in markets in Cambodia for about $40

Simmons #1 pick
Thon Maker in at 10.

Poor Simmons, should ask for a trade right now. They will ruin him.

Draft day is fantastic

 

[Cooldude]

I just use the cheapest ones, the in-ear ones feel like it's killing my hearing

The referendum is so tight.. Remain up by only 31k votes. Markets are shitting themselves.

It's great watching the BBC tracker. Swinging wildly is the margin. Was 3000 to leave, then refreshed to 12000 to remain.

looks to be going down to the wire. REMAIN thought that participation in Scotland and Wales would be v high and they'd get a large majority. Participation was low and the margin small.

Bit of an uphill battle for remain from here on

they're slightly ahead?

Lower turnout than expected in some places and also remain has done better than expected in some places as well, about a third of the way through now. It'll be very tight but have a feeling leave will edge it

Like Wales voting leave is kinda strange, they benefit a lot from the EU and their funding

Most of my family are voting remain up in North West England. Liverpool has benefitted greatly from the EU with plenty of fuss going into the city for the 2008 European capital of culture thing. Plenty of car part component factories there rely on trade within the EU (my wife's cousin has a job at Ford there ).

I can see the south voting out for valid reasons. Should be interesting. They should make voting mandatory.

Now it's almost 200,000 lead to leave.

Yes, I use them a lot. To and from work on the train, walking to work, to the station, at lunch. Pretty much anytime I can when I am not at work on a work day.

I prefer in ear ones, but the last three pairs have broken from falling off around my neck and being stepped on etc.

I figure headphones is now the way to go as that can't happen.

I had Sennheiser mm70is which were $100 off eBay and I found them to be fantastic.

From what I have learned, Beats are crap.

50% participation in Hull is ****ing pathetic. Pull your fingers out. This is more important than most votes you'll be part of.

Most of them are xenophobic idiots anyway so they'd probably still vote Out.

Really? The prices range from $200 to nearly $500, would be surprised if they were crap at that price.

I don't really know any other brands, maybe Bose, dunno what they're like though.

Have just spent my lunch break reading reviews about Bose, they seem to be a winner. Have barely found a bad word about them. Look to be well worth the ~$200 when I do get them.

Not sure whether to go headphones or earphones though.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

I have Sol Republic headphones and im quite happy with their sound.

 

[Cruyff14]

Price? Pros/cons?

I've always had earphones and I feel it's time to get some headphones. Bose looks to be the go.

Mine have detachable cords which is the biggest money saver I'd say given 90% of broken headphones is cord related but replacing them is inexpensive.

I have both. Use headphones when I'm at home or want real noise cancelling (on planes etc) and earphones for commuting and listening to music at work, so I can have one earphone in.
