2-for-Tuesday: Monster Headphone Splitters with Volume Controls
Our Take
- You’re getting two of these- One of those headphone jacks that’s, like, a double headphone jack- Independent volume controls end marital volume conflicts forever- Duraflex cable jacket to help ward off that aggravating thing where the cable starts to break at the point where it connects with the plug, and you can see the metal wires inside, and it only works if you hold it at just the right angle, then it stops working altogether- Model: 132624
There's a time to just drink the orange juice.
Our guy @Dave was in Morocco this one time. It was hot and dry because it was Morocco. So Dave approached a juice stall for some orange juice. He named a price. The juicemonger named another. Dave countered. The juice peddler counter-countered. And so they danced. Then Dave figured out they were haggling over eight cents, so he just bought the damn juice.You can stand parched under the blazing Saharan sun, haggling for a few dirhams off a glass of juice. You can roll the dice with a crappy Y-splitter and hope it doesn’t let you down when you need it most. Or you can pay a couple of bucks more for a decent Y-splitter. You can spend the eight extra cents for the juice. We can appreciate the impulse to save money at every turn. But when you’re pinching pennies over literally pennies, you only wind up pinching yourself.
