I'm Such a Loser

My favourite colour is yellow. I never realised that made me a loser!

I have such problems with headphones. I never lose them but alwayyyys break them. I love the Apple ones but they are flimsy, overpriced and not toddler resistant. The Sennheusers have the best sound, but are a bit pricey. They're sturdy, though.

agnes--no, you're not a loser, the yellow is just supposed to cheer up those of us who ARE losers. no insult intended! : )

afm--i tried the apple ones but they hurt my ears--they're too large to fit comfortably. i've also looked at the sennheusers but haven't been able to spend the money on them. i may do it, though. thanks for the ideas. and my sympathy about them not being child proof!

Oh my God. I broke mine the other day and literally dropped everything I was doing and went out to buy new ones. I feel your pain. Hopefully you'll find them.

And I'm the exact same way with headphones so you're not a loser. Or that makes us both losers, but I'm sticking with the first one.

lol! well now i don't feel so bad for wanting a new pair so desperately.

Was just joshin' Marcy. I already know I'm not a loser! Apple headphones are dodgy I reckon, my first pair degenerated very quickly and I used cheap crappy ones for a while. Then I left my original iPod on a bus (wasn't returned despite having my name on it and a phone call to the bus company about an hour after I got off the thing) and I was bereft! Ended up getting a new (better) iPod the very next day and it and the headphones have lasted the distance. Some people would say it was a bit sad that I couldn't go 24 hours without an iPod but you guys all understand, I'm sure!

check out the Shure line of in ear headphones. http://www.shure.com/index.htm They are awesome! :-)

I want the Shure ones, too! For now, my Sonys will do. I like the earbuds, too, with the smaller ear pieces on them, like in your pic.

I have not lost one yet, but son loses his often. He lost his iPod shuffle, too, after a year. (it was really little!) His next one is a Christmas gift, and I hope he doesn't lose IT!

I have a pair of the Shure earbuds and agree that they are awesome. Well worth the money - if you can hang onto them for a while! :) They are very effecient so you can cut back on the volume and get more out of your battery. The only complaints I have are that I have to lower the volume level on the tracks I upload so that the music isn't too loud (!) and that the bass is a bit wimpy. I got the base model (having a hard time spending $$ on earbuds) and I understand that the more expensive models have better bass. Sounds like a good request for Santa to me. Good luck!

Bose on-ear phones, the best investment i've made in a long time, great, sharp sound, lead that plugs into only one side of the phones and fold into a neat carry case.

agnes--oh, that makes me very sad that you lost your ipod. that's exactly something i would do! i'm glad you were able to replace it so quickly. what did we do before we had these things?!

rachel and nat and wre--i've looked at those shure ones and they are on my list. i definitely need the bass, though, so maybe santa will have to spend a little extra this time.

drew--i'm not sure i deserve a pair of bose. seriously, i would love a pair, but i'm not sure i'm worthy! maybe what i need is two pair--one less expensive to wear to the gym and another to wear for other times. hmmmm, maybe i'll start saving my pennies.
